How To Come Up With A Superhero Name Novels & Stories

I giggle, “I don’t mind it. I’m not big on silence, to be honest.” “That’s good, because in like two months, it’s going to be hella loud in your life,” Sin grins, his eyes dipping to my stomach. “Name?” “Not yet. We haven’t had a chance to discuss it.” “He’ll be the next Alpha, so you have to make it something cool. Hmmm,” he purses his lips, darting out the tip of his blue tongue at the corner. “Ivan… No. Lucien is kind of badass. Vincent or Viktor give off Russian mob vibes. You should totally go with a mafia name,” he shakes his head. “Run it by me when you come up with something. I’ll tell you if it sounds lame.”

"That would be perfect." The ice cream shop was busy with other families celebrating the end of the school year, but Mickey had called ahead to reserve our usual corner booth. Gabriel climbed into his favorite spot and immediately began planning aloud. "I think we should name the baby something strong, like Gabriel, but different," he announced, attacking his chocolate sundae with enthusiasm. "If it's a boy, maybe Alexander? That means 'defender of people.' If it's a girl, maybe Sophia? No, wait—" Gabriel's face scrunched up as he remembered stories about the dangerous she-wolf. "Not Sophia. Maybe... Victoria? That means 'victory.'"

Syke on the other hand was just staring at them. The handsome doctor laughed. "Just call me Drew." Anito. "But if you think Batman suits my personality, then call me Batman." He even winked at her and that caused her to laugh with him. At least there is one handsome guy in this world not as grumpy as Syke! “If I were you, I would not easily believe her. She used to call every person she just met some superhero’s name, she calls me Superman by the way.” Syke said.

"Any names?" I turned in his lap, now straddling him. My C-section wound was still dully aching but I was healing well. I bit my lip when I felt him throb against me. "Names… it needs to be strong. You fucking carried him and birthed him, what do you like?" "Something strong I agree, but I have no idea... I haven’t really been able to think properly." I said softly. "So any suggestions?" "Hmm… Dante. What do you think?"

Alice had been at this for hours, her laptop open, tabs upon tabs of names from every culture, every language, every possible origin. "Okay, hear me out," she said, her eyes sparkling with that mischievous light I'd learned to love. "Ocean." I stared at her. "Ocean." "Yes. For a boy. Ocean Bennett-Hill." "Ocean." "You're repeating me. That means you're considering it." "I'm repeating you because I'm trying to understand if you're serious or if this is some kind of test." She laughed, that sound that made the rain outside seem irrelevant. "Okay, fine. What do you suggest? Let me guess—John? William? Something that sounds like it belongs in a history book?"

And of all the people he could partner with, he picked Alexander-fucking-Grayson? “What?” I asked, my voice betraying my disbelief. My eyes darted to Alex, whose lips curved into that infuriating smirk. He was enjoying this. Of course he was. “We were struggling to come up with a name,” Dad explained, walking around his desk to sit down. “So I suggested yours. Simple and elegant!” “That was… really stupid, Dad,” I stammered. “Why would you name it after me?” “Why? What’s wrong with that, Sienna?” Alex interjected, his tone dripping with mock innocence.

It’s become a habit already. “Have you thought about names?” I ask. He hums. “A little.” I turn to him. “And?” He smirks. “If it’s a boy—Frost Junior.” I snort. “Absolutely not.” “Fine. What about Max?” I consider it. “Max Frost. Huh. Sounds like a superhero.” He grins. “Exactly.” I roll me eyes. “And if it’s a girl?” Sebastian pauses. “I don’t know. I feel like… I’d know when I see her.”

I said, my voice taking on a teasing tone, "we need to think of some backup names too, just in case." Valerie laughed, the sound like music to my ears. "Oh, really? Do you have any other suggestions, Mr. Name Expert?" I grinned, leaning back against the couch and pretending to ponder deeply. "Well, for a girl, how about something unique and strong? Like... Athena?" "Athena?" Valerie repeated, a smile tugging at her lips. "Goddess of wisdom and warfare? Are you planning on raising a warrior princess, Ares?" "Maybe," I said, winking at her. "She'd have to take after her mother, after all. Smart, strong, and incredibly beautiful."

"Okay, I was all of those things. But now that I know you're safe and you're basically a superhero, I'm allowed to be excited about it!" "I'm not a superhero." "You literally broke someone out of a secret government lab, Olivia. That's textbook superhero behavior." She gasped suddenly. "Oh my God, do you have a superhero name? Please tell me you have a superhero name." "I don't have a superhero name." "We need to fix that immediately. What about... Wolf Warrior? No, too generic. Shadow Fang? Lunar Blade?" She was counting on her fingers now. "Ooh, what about the Barcelona Badass?"

Dino put his hand on his chin and imagined an unrealistic thought, "Then if I debuted as an actor, I should have my stage name. What stage name can I use? I wanted a cool one. Hmmmmm?" He walked around in circle while thinking. "Ahh!" Right when he stopped, an idea popped out. "What about Dino Smith? Or Dino Bond? Dino Pitt? Dino Jolie? Dinao Ming Zi?" Tilting his head, because he found all of those names familiar to his ears, another idea came. "Ahh! What if I make a name similar to superheroes?! Like spiderman, I'll have Dinoman." Soon, his smile evaporated.
