How To Come Up With A Superhero Name Novels & Stories

“Iron Man?” What the hell is that now? “That’s what my mom calls you whenever she’s pissed off at you.” Alex Ricci seems comfortable talking to me, and somehow I’m comfortable talking to him too. “Does she know about your foul mouth?” I mutter incredulously with humor. The boy shrugs disdainfully. “So your mom gave me a nickname?” I scold with feigned indignation. “I like it. It’s a superhero name, you know?” I believe he has no idea what his mother means by that, and knowing that makes me open a small amused smile.

Kenji took a seat, he was dumbfounded. He mentally had gone through his head to make up a plan but the name escaped him. That caused his mother to smile in triumph. Kenji usually was one to always have a retort. “Well it certainly seems you still need my help. The best way to come up with a name is just talking it out. No need to ruminate on your own. So let’s do it honey bunches.” She gave him her warm motherly smile.

The more I read, the more absurd it became. “Victor Grant is the son of a CEO who lives abroad and his company's name is…? Isn't this just a made up company name?” I glanced up at Fiona who nodded. “I searched but I couldn't find it. Eventually, I saw that it was from a random name generating site that they had gotten the name from. They did not even have the creativity to form one name with their own heads. I swear if I catch them, they'll regret it."

The label was innocuous enough to be casually dropped anywhere while still capturing the essence of its origins. Brows pinched, she questioned, “Is this why you have hundreds of followers under your command? So you’ll have more time and brain power to get creative with names for everyone?” If it’d distract her when she needed to be distracted, then yes, he’d block out time and brain power doing it. “You have to admit, the names I come up with are better suited to them than the ones their parents gave them without even knowing them.”

Naomi groaned in frustration one evening as we sat at the office surrounded by empty coffee cups and piles of paperwork. "Why is it so difficult to think of a name?" She muttered, running a hand through her hair. I leaned back in my chair and grinned. “Because it has to be perfect. It’s going to represent everything we stand for.” She gave me a teasing glare. "No pressure at all." "Not a single one," I smiled. I laughed as I caught the crumpled piece of paper she hurled at me in midair. “How about ‘A Safe Haven’?” I suggested after a moment.

I asked as he began to walk. Gregory turned back, leaning over to me, "My name is G-4ce." The rest of the school day is a total loss for me. I just sit and think of a hacker name. Ric-man. That sounds like a superhero who got kicked out of the Fantastic 5, and then they became the Fantastic 4. Ricarian. No, it will sound like I'm a hacker monk. Maybe I should take something that has nothing to do with my name. Smash. Master. Destroyer. I kind of like that one and underline it bold in the back of my diary. Jackal. Intruder. Shadow.

“Mafia boss, remember?” Suzi scoffed. “Have you thought of a name for our boy yet?” Max chewed his stolen bite of ice cream like it was a serious boardroom decision. “Yep. Maxwell the Second.” Suzi groaned. “Absolutely not.” He smirked. “Fine. Maxwell the Third, then. Skip ahead. Sounds more powerful.” She gave him a flat look. “We’re not naming our baby like he’s a Roman emperor.” Max shrugged, utterly unfazed. “You got a better idea?”

He said, "I don't know. It was hard to think of a nickname for you. You already have such a unique name.” Ugh he had me excited for no reason. "That wasn't very nice of you." I said. He chuckled. Why is he laughing at me? Nothing seemed funny to me. He said, "I was just kidding. I came up with two options. It would be either Kenli or just plain Kennedi. I'll think of something better at the camp. That's where the magic happens." I don’t think he was kidding. I think his brain had been too tattered with fighting to think of a cute but strong warrior name for me.

If anything, he will be a hero to his future. Thinking of any name to give him, I thought about the one good name in my mind for a while, but I had yet to discuss it with my mate. “How about Marvel?” I told her calmly to keep the pups from waking up. My beautiful mate moved to get comfortable as her face found her way to the crocket of my neck, she said. “Like a marvelous wonder? I like it. It’s unique, like him.” She kissed me on my mark, making me shiver in delight.

(◞‸ლ) “So we had to be more creative,” Blackie narrated with heartache, “‘Soul Cuddle’, ‘Soul Tango’, ‘Mwah, take my hugs and kisses!’, ‘Love me, darling, ah, ah!’…” he sighed ruefully, “…All kinds of name ideas kept being suggested.” Noah doubled back with gaping mouth, “And all of those unbelievably shitty names were already taken?!” “No,” Blackie sighed ruefully, “Because they were shitty, not a single one passed the majority vote.”
