Romans & histoires How To Come Up With A Superhero Name

Aaliyah broke the silence, her voice teasing despite her exhaustion. “So, Mr. Hayes, what are we naming this little guy? I’m not letting you pick something boring like John or James.” I chuckled, the sound surprising me. “Boring? Me? Come on, firecracker, you know I’ve got better taste than that.” She raised an eyebrow, a spark of her old mischief returning. “Oh, really? Hit me with your best shot.” I leaned back, pretending to think hard, my hand still holding hers. “Alright, how about… Zephyr? Sounds cool, right? Like a superhero.”

I had not thought of any name at all. “You don't have to panic because you haven't thought of one. If it's any help, you can name him after someone who was very important to you that passed on” there was nobody like that. I had no one important to me. “If not…you can just look through a list of names and decide on the one you like. I'll have Hermes drop one for you” “Okay. Thank you” there was a long stretch of silence between us and then he stood up and walked to the door.

“Do you know how hard it’s been for me not to bring this up every single day?! I’ve been dying here, Conan!” I rolled my eyes. “Yeah, yeah. Now you can unleash your pent-up baby name energy. Go wild.” Levi clapped his hands together like a kid about to open birthday presents. “Okay, okay! So obviously, we need something strong. Something wolffish. Something that says, ‘Don’t mess with me, I chew bones for fun.’ I even consulted the elders.” I smirked. “So nothing soft and gentle, huh?” “Like Fluffy? Absolutely not. Our pup needs a commanding name. Something that makes people pause. Alpha material.”

More than that, I finally knew what I was going to write in my next chapter. “Putting a little flashback from Troy's childhood wouldn't hurt, would it?” I couldn’t wait to start writing. Taking precautionary measures, I decided not to be so obvious, and mix the things I knew from articles with my own imagination. The very first step was to build my own character based on Wang Jian. After reading everything about Chinese names… which gave me a huge headache, I came up with couple of possible names. I was dying to go with a last name Wu but it sounded too similar to Wang…

Victor nodded in agreement but then paused, "What about you?" "I'll stick to your sister and continue to water the ideas in her head. We are literally putting them up towards each other." Victor laughed, rubbing his palms dramatically as his laughter turned evilly. "Muhahahahahaha." Gold rolled her eyes and facepalmed. "We need a name for the mission." She pointed out. "What about Cupid Strike?" Gold rubbed her chin, pretending to be in deep thought before she gave in. "Not bad. I am in on it."

"Of course, you know I got your back.You can get through this - I'm here for you 100%." As I reached the door she called after me, “Ariel,” I turned around, my forehead creased. “Huh?” “You should name her Ariel if it’s a girl and Hercules if it’s a boy.” I rolled my eyes at her. “Are you kidding?” “It’s the name of a Disney princess. You can never go wrong with that.Plus, Hercules is the name of a god,duh” I shook my head, laughing a little and she joined me. “You are sick in the head,”

He asks and I’m surprised he’d even know that. “Yes,” I tell him, blushing because it’s a little embarrassing to be named after a fictional goddess. “It’s spelt different but yes, my dad was a huge Hercules fan and loves to surf so when he heard the name mentioned in a cartoon, when my mum was pregnant, he put it forward as suggestion and it stuck.” “I like it, it’s cool and unique,” He compliments me, filling my stomach with butterflies. “So, tell me Goddess, what brought you over to my table?”

"Or just tyrants. Who knows?" Ethan was a huge help too firing the day. Always making sure I had water close by, bunch of snacks readily available and always talking my ears off. Today, he and Xander were arguing about the never ending baby names. "If it's two boys, we could do something cool like... Axel and Blade," Ethan suggested, smirking like a loon. Xander snorted ot loud. "What, do you want turn them into action heroes? Nah, we need something classic. Like... for a girl, maybe Sophia."

I can be the Founder. And since it's my empire, I get to name it. No more of my family's overly serious, traditional nonsense. I need something catchy. Something modern. Maybe I'll call it...DoomDash. Slogan: Delivering takeout, pain, and your soul to the afterlife in thirty minutes or less. Or maybe SkipTheLiving? The ideas keep flowing, and the Chaotic Evil energy in my blood hums in response. I can't sit still. I hop off the bed and pace the room, my mind buzzing with business plans, pricing tiers, and monopoly strategies.

Today. Today was supposed to be a big day for Luna. the whole weekend of "Mommy-and-Luna" time I’d planned to give them while I rotted away in this house. “Shit,” I muttered under my breath, more to myself. “I’m sorry, little girl. Uncle Hulk owes you one for keeping Mama away.” Uncle Hulk— The nickname slipped out easily— I felt the corner of my mouth twitch upward. I’d fought that stupid name for weeks. But somewhere between the tiny fists grabbing my fingers and the way she looked up at me like I was some kind of superhero instead of the monster I knew I was… it stuck.
