Gothic Names Novels & Stories

We were all understandably anxious. “This is a private moment,” Gwendoline said with moist eyes. “I’ll leave ye alone to enjoy it.” I reached out and grabbed her hand to squeeze it as we exchanged looks of support. Luthias had been through so much to protect me. I owed him this moment and I was grateful she felt the same. “Owena,” he whispered. “It’s an old Welsh name. It means born of royalty. Lady Owena.” I rubbed the moistness from my eyes while I watched my handsome lover stroke the cheek of my little vampire princess.

Yes, now he was sure that she was his Cara. “I found you, Cara. So what if you’ve made it big and become a star. I shall pursue you to the end of the world!” he swore out loud. He picked up his mobile phone to search for her details. The moment he typed Rohesia, he saw the meaning of the name and gasped. It’s an old English and French name meaning "Kind; Rose; Fame". His mind immediately went to Rose. It was Cara’s middle name indeed. Then he thought about Carys, the name that followed Rohesia. Why did she choose Carys? He searched for it and his eyes widened seeing the results.

And since she wants them at least twice a week, that’s quite a feat, even for a werewolf. Lily and I finally decide on a name, Cara. Lily had been researching names in her spare time. She stumbled across the name Cara and found out that it means ‘beloved’. We both decided that, since we know our little girl is going to be loved beyond belief by both her parents, it is a fitting name.

The invisible barrier broke and a device on the young prince’s person broke. The gardener whose attacks failed to connect to his target frowned and then glared in the direction where Grace appeared. "Witch!!!" "The name is Bathory Erzebeth," corrected the red-head woman while curtsying. Then she added with a slight smile, "Although I am probably more known as Erzebeth Tudor." "Cut the nonsense! What have you trespassed this territory for?" As if living to what the woman just called him, a barbarian, he didn't bother with courtesy and just went straight to the point.

Names of brides. Each one followed by a date. And a red mark—dried blood. Margaret Crowley, 1702. Celeste Holloway, 1729. Imogen Hart, 1794. And on and on... until the final page. His hands trembled when he read the last name: Alika Thorne. He repeated it under his breath. “Alika… Thorne?” Not Morgan. Not the name the world knew her by. And beneath that name, written in ink that shimmered like fresh blood:

Back in my room, I was thinking about the Agosti brothers, it’s so strange that all of them have been named after the devil in some way or the other. Lucifer the devil himself, Set the Egyptian god of death, Abaddon the destruction, and Draco, the Dracula. Can’t believe any parent would want to give these names to their child. But my father gave me a such name as well. And with that thought, all my pent-up emotions come back to haunt me. And as I lay in bed, I can hear a loud howl. What is this place, are we in the middle of a forest? ****** In the morning I am called to Grandfather Agosti’s office. Giovanni comes to take me and brings me to a small elevator.

“Fine. Just use the given names Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. The children’s names the old man gave are very meaningful.” Beatrice said, “Brother-in-law, can’t you think of something that sounds better? This is too casual.” Alex replied, “Then... First, Second, Third, and Fourth. Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon. Gold, Wood, Water, and Fire. Which one do you think is more appropriate?” Beatrice almost passed out. “Who would give such names?! It was way too cavalier. If that were the case, you should’ve just called them A, B, C, and D!”

she exclaimed, her voice trembling with newfound hope. Dominic leaned closer, his brow furrowing as he examined the ancient text. "There are some runes here. I recognize their names, but the meanings… I don't know their meaning." Victoria pointed at the first rune, a twisted, jagged mark etched into the page. "This one’s called Mendacium," she said, her tone uncertain. "Then there's Dolor... followed by Odium, and finally, Peccatum."

Ashton stands staring at me. Laughing I shake my head. "That was nothing, I grew up knowing what my name meant, it wasn't until a class was about Greek mythology that I learnt my middle name Keres meant death. My mother had fun choosing my name." Grayson's arms tighten around me. "I'm lost on a reply." Emmett laughs. "I mean, it does mean goddess of violent death, but I don't think she took note of goddess." "How can you laugh?" Ashton looks at me shocked.
