Hey Pandas, What Are Some Character Names I Could Use In My Book?
Please write as many names as you can think of! Also, you don't have to, but I'm trying to get more unique names so...

I am in love with this name! Emeline. If I ever have a girl child I will name her Emeline. Also I can call her Em for short!
Another name is Airilina. It's such a pretty name!
A male name could be Daniel, or Alexander. :]

I went to school with a girl called Emeline. Everyone call her 'Emmy'. She was really pretty and generally liked by everyone. She had ash-blonde hair (with a slight hint of red), a pretty pug nose, and when she smiled she got dimples that you could hide a hurley ball in. Her mam on the other hand was complete ahole.

I actually use a band name generator or Google Translate for words that have meaning to me or are representative of my characters' personality. (I am a 6x published ghostwriter.)

What I like to do is I would usually think of a personality, color, or animal relation that the character has and convert into Japanese!
Examples:
Usuagi=Bunny
Pinku=Pink
Sabishi=Lonely
Yoru=night
Tayo=day
Etc etc

Surely it depends on the premise, are the characters human, who the book is aimed at, etc?

Here are a few that I pulled out of my Dead Draft Pile.
Fem:
Alaia, meaning joyful
Edeline. Or Adeline! Both roughly mean "noble".
Maia, which has three separate definitions
Adelaide, which I have chosen solely for the phonetic composition
Evelyn, actual meaning unclear, possibly "desired"
Cassiopeia, utterly pretentious but very pretty (which was mythologically the problem)
Calanthe, derived from an orchid, in turn meaning "beautiful flower"
Edie, diminuitive of Edith, meaning something along the lines of "fortune of war"
Theodosia, roughly meaning "I give to God"
Neutral:
Emery, whose usage switched from masc to fem at some stage between the Normans and now? For some reason?
Florian/e/a, ultimately meaning "flower"
Addison. I like this name because you can convincingly apply it to literally anyone
Ara: Means lion, which is neat
Flick: Can be a diminuitive of Felicity/a, or just a peppy nickname
Masc:
Giotto, meaning unclear and probably a diminuitive but I like the way it sounds
Huon, which might just be a fancier Hugh...
Kai, which showed up independently FOUR times the world over
Steinar, meaning "stone warrior". Sweet.
Elliott, derived from Elijah and meaning "my God is Yahweh", probably?
Everett.
Honorary mention to days and months.

Tsukuyomi (月読) is the Japanese god of the moon and estranged husband of the sun goddess Amaterasu. A proud but violent deity, his killing of Uke Mochi and consequent separation from his wife were the origins of day and night.
( From Japan)
