I'm using nature names for my characters in Lux, although my mayor is the only there right now. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna name the next character Iris or Primrose. I just have to figure out where I want her house to go.
My first town is called Salem, so after I created my character (named for me), the other three are iconic witches from TV, movies, and comics. In Hollowyn, my second town, I named all four characters after gems/minerals.
I have a really nice backstory for my town too but that isn't important right now i guess...
Jeremy - his house is a cafe because he works there and lives with Jessica, he has orange messy hair and green eyes wearing a chef outfit, He really likes Jessica
Mike - Grumpy Hotel owner, black messy hair with blue eyes and wears a random outfit that looks fancy XD
Bella - Spa owner, really kind and sweet and likes Mike. Her hair is light brown and she has brown eyes, her hair is in a bun.
Jessica - Mayor of the town, has dark brown hair and green eyes. Her house is just like an average house and she wears a brown outfit. she is good friends with Jeremy and Bella.
I just pick names that I like. In Ophylix I have Phoebe, Caterina, and Ruby. I think I'm going to make a character named Darcie for my final. Olympus has Aris right now and I think I'm going to make poseidon. My third town just has Clara right now (from doctor who). No particular reasons. Could try babynames.com
My second character in my main town is Locke...from FFVI. And I made two mule characters in Bunifrey that I named Edea and Ringabel from Bravely Default...I even put their houses side by side. I ship those two so much!
My extra characters were pretty easy because they are from cartoons or nursury ryhmes, but my 5th town is my family.This has been a lot of fun. I have been decorating each family members house to fit their personality and hobbies.
I chose Elora as my mayor's name, because it sounded like a fairytale-esque name to me, and that's the feel I wanted.
My second character, Ash, is named after me.
My third character, Markl, is a wizard so I named him after the wizard's apprentice from Howl's Moving Castle.
And I just made my fourth, Briar, who's either going to be like a forest nymph, or just a girl who lives off hidden in the forest. (I thought Briar suited that well, kind of like Briarrose)
I usually just pick names from books that I love, though.
My second character is my storage butler, named Lavrenti. He inherited the name of my nuzlocke Bronzong.
The unusual name came from a random name generator because I don't pick the names of my nuzlocke Pokemon. (Random 'mons and random names. I have nuzlocke 'mons with awful nicknames, but I like to work with what I'm dealt.) I don't know why, but that name in particular has stuck with me ever since.
I started the file in 2013, so I don't remember much that want on in my mind during those times..but I clearly remember I wanted to use the mayor's name I registered with because it had a part of my name in it. It's a japanese name and one of my favorite anime characters back then had it as well, so that was the reason for my mayor's name. As for my second character, I actually made it a male character (I'm female) and gave it the name Kaneki, which is from Tokyo ghoul 0u0 My main purpose was just to use him to store extra paths/designs, but I ended up dressing him up to look like kaneki as well. I'm planning on doing one more, which will either be Touka or Tsukiyama. Touka is one of the characters I want to base my third character off the most since she'll match with Kaneki, but I honestly have no idea how to do her hair. This is off topic though, haha..but the general purpose though is just designs and paths for when people visit my town via dream address, they'll see the characters hoping they've seen tokyo ghoul ;; I try not to give my characters pointless or overly commonly used names (ex: allison, ashley, katie, marcella, etc) and at least use japanese names, since from my opinion japanese names are a lot more creative than english names due to their better meanings and they just sound better
I have a very large empty space in my town so my idea is to create another character just so I can make their house a cottage and have a large foresty area around it! Idk who I want the character to be though.... I was thinking a sweet little old lady.
my second character's name is grazia. im studying italian and the name just sorta popped up & i thought it sounded pretty. i only really use her for paths, though
