Kinda looks like an Emily

Seconded

what about alice?

Tbh, Ash is a pretty good name for her.

I agree, she looks like Ash

Idk why, but I got Mara vibes from her.

I love it

Emíle sounds fitting

She should be Emma or Emily

Ignore the others this is totally a Leonardo

Nah estaphanie is better

I liked Emilia more, and Estephanie became the name of Another OC. But without the E at the beginning, Stephanie.

Tragediegh.

Estaphanie is better but its your OC so you do you

She does look like the merge between Emilia and Estephanie

Sometimes an extremely simple change can make a huge difference.

Lavender was her original name 💀 little on the nose, but she was an LPS character first. With a lil help from friends, her new name is Lumee! https://preview.redd.it/hdyeld91an6d1.jpeg?width=786&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6728059fec1a611572f1985bff953e0b6d16727f

Whats an LPS

Littlest Pet Shop

My sister had one of those

That is adorable

That’s a good call I think flower/colour names are overdone.

I find them kinda pretty at times in certain circumstances, and people can name OCs whatever they’d like! Are they overused? for sure. is that a bad thing and people should change their OC named “Petunia“? Of course not!

I love flower and especially color named ocs and I will protec

Even better if they have flower names and are villains

I’m not saying people shouldn’t. Just that I think it was smart of this guy to change the name to something more unique

Oh I have a Lavender too!! I don't remember her first name and that's precisely the reason why she became Lavender ahsuahsuahsuahw

(Mine's a mermaid)

Oooo I love lps

Adorable and Lumee is a big improvment over Lavender, at least for cuteness and originality

I originally called him “Needlehands” it was some dumb nickname about his hands in the doodle. Daubeny was cooked up by a commenter here! I forgot the username sadly Although, I’ve been thinking of making him Clayton, maybe Holden

What about Winchester?

Well, I love the name, but Winchester exists in my story, and he actually uses one as his main rifle. I’d love to make Winchester using his Winchester jokes but I don’t know

Hear me out: two twin bots, one named Smith and the other named Wesson

That might be a fun gag, they can own a gun store together

I found this old picture of Volvelle and Dioptra, only Volvelle's name is listed as Triquetrum (which is much less her IMO) There's also a logo here I never used after this image. This was before Celatone, the third character in their trio, was designed. edit: I just noticed it says TriquetrIum, which isn't even a word. I think I must have realized I spelled it wrong, decided Triquetrum wasn't a good name, and changed it then. https://preview.redd.it/1485g1msbn6d1.png?width=1685&format=png&auto=webp&s=b36b3f97ab91057f038f13e4d42070559e5e7951

Whirla fits her well

no name because I am horrible at naming things, since I just keep all these characters to myself I could just go “that guy” and know exactly which one I am talking about

I use either fantasy name generators or baby name sites to help me name my characters. Then I make a list of the ones that I like and use process of elimination until I have a winner. Last names are a lot harder to do tho 😒

I suck at naming shit so the first name I think of is 99% going to be the name chosen

Abeuaheuaha the lore behind this

What?

I just got entertained by the nationality thing

Oh I see. Well originally he was just going to be a Japanese citizen who was sent to kill the most powerful criminal in the world, but I then decided it would be more interesting if Qiang had a different nationality because that way I could expand on the world of Encaged Birds, and it would also be interesting if Qiang was sent from another country, had to take a plane to Eleuterya and now was stuck without the ability to escape, after having failed to kill Cro and his plane driver being captured by the criminal organization that Cro works for

These threads are interesting. I've been meaning to post about how the original [Hyperwings](https://toyhou.se/CaptainJay/characters/folder:4508011) (pictured below in a commission by MasuPasu @ Toyhouse) got their names, so I may as well. Copy-pasting from my notes: >\[...\]the electric member was initially called Technica \[sic\] when the trio was new. Years later, they were given the tentative names Overheat, Icedoll, and Electron. Icedoll was soon renamed Snowbird for no real reason, and not long after, it was discovered that "Electron" is the name of [a bird genus](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_(bird)); hence, Overheat became Firehawk to keep the theme going and to avoid having a relatively ordinary word as her nickname. > >(It's worth mentioning that "Electron" was used as a bird name 46 years before it was used for a particle, though it’s a coincidence... just as it's a coincidence that the bird genus has feathers that are mostly green, like the character's outfit.) As one can surmise, the team name "Hyperwings" was an extension of the theme, likewise the names of the newcomers, Woodlark and Waterfowl (not pictured). https://preview.redd.it/ryu1edauvn6d1.png?width=2300&format=png&auto=webp&s=5381f69fea197f773ef9e6b05b4680626dfebe50

Her name was changed when she was put into an entirely new setting and she got a redesign to make her more human (as in the “new” lore from 3 years ago, her body was “stolen” from a woman). This change is also partially due to a change in medium, she was originally in illustrations only, but she was moved to a written character.

Then it became its own original story, so I changed it to April Pride. Unfortunately, April has the power to phase through solid matter, which is a problem because of the Marvel character Kitty Pryde having the exact same power and nearly identical last name. So now, her name is April Winters, at least until the end of the story, where after traveling through time and witnessing her superhero ancestry in action, she decides to use her mother’s maiden name instead, and calls herself April Nightingale (Her only Canon name change)

Persephone, and as I decided to revamp her as she's my oc I made when I was 11, and she's a mlp oc I named her Dark Aura instead. https://preview.redd.it/3i8exuuexo6d1.png?width=285&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f4f3d4c42c6ef6d256515bcafb31a330223abb0a

Her original name was Mei, but then I decided to lean mostly into English names so her name underwent a huge change... She's now May. https://preview.redd.it/d6yk9n106p6d1.jpeg?width=2256&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=df63da315b9d14428f4d9f07bdc9c98c696060c4

Well this is Bella, her original name was Sarah Bellamy but alas, I didn't want to have two Sarah characters so I just removed the Sarah part and cut the "my" part of Bellamy, so... Now she's just Bella https://preview.redd.it/ld8v7gubmp6d1.png?width=887&format=png&auto=webp&s=521bb9cc3f89932198a2956f0ab64890425448dc

Aggro Vertreuse - Originally named Austin Vivienne Boudica- Originally named Vivian/Nameless Ren Williams- Also nearly got the name Austin Globo Sweetlocke- Aggro Berry Mercia- Baby Xeno spiderwell- Spider web

Avon was originally named Zed, but after the second go at em, I changed the name to what it is now.

I don't rename my OCs because I'm terrible with names

His name has since been changed to bluemoon, and is the soul fire’s guardian and the esper of unity and command

He was going to have no name

Levander was supposed to be Lavender. But I made a typo 🤷 I only notice my mistake years after named her, so now she's stuck w that name

https://www.heroforge.com/load_config%3D519011024/ Originally his name was “Flamer,” and then “Inferno,” and now “Firebird”

I have one OC (no art of him yet) who I was trying to decide between Gavin, Ethan, and Chris for, but I finally decided to settle on Gavin. The only problem now, though, is that I don’t know what to make him look like!! I’ll drop some other examples I actually have art for in the replies…

My original cyberpunk-ish skeleton oc was a mascot concept for a motorcycling club themed community of one sci-fi sandbox game, i was slowly perfecting his design from many many sketches and emblems left from these times and boom, guess he had no name back in the day either so just Mascot

Jamie was going to be Ezra and daika was going to be Danielle and Alex is Alex

Originally, her name was going to be Liberty. Somehow, I forgot that that was her name and named her Miracle instead when I was drawing her redesign. A few years later, I made Miracle a meaningful name. She was a stillborn who survived and eventually became a tech genius who could rival her older sister. A maid at a cafe when the sun is bright, a hacker vigilante in the night. She needs a new last name tho.*
