Whimsical Names Novels & Stories

“I have another one—how about a dart gun that delivers a psychoactive compound? Something that causes vivid, disorienting visions.” I paused mid-keystroke to stare at her. “I can’t believe you just said something that actually sounded reasonable.” “Hey!!” Tyla protested. Quin snorted. “Alright,” I said, turning back to the screen. “We’ll call that one the Hallucination Dart Gun.” Tyla shook her head. “No, no, no—it needs a cheesier name.” I raised an eyebrow. “Like what?” She grinned. “Dream Blaster 3000.”

Holly took the paper and glanced through the names again. Then, she seriously said, "I thought they sounded nice. Squishy is so cute, and Little Man sounds strong and easy to take care of. Bear sounds like a fun little name." Bryce thought about what he wanted to say. "Can we think of something more elegant? We can take inspiration from poems or songs. "You've read a lot of books since you were young, so it shouldn't be too hard for you to come up with an elegant name." "We can do that for the child's actual name. Nicknames should just roll off the tongue."

this just happened like a movie. 🗣️: if this is truly a movie... what name should we give it then.. 🗣️: I think THE WITCH'S BREW is a perfect name for it. 🗣️: what about this.. THE WITCHING HOUR OF BIRTH. 🗣️: what about this one... A PINCH OF MAGIC. 🗣️: lol... the names are all good... just wish Ayanna will show up at this feast that's coming up tonight.

says Keito, "A very mild name, I suppose." "That's got to be the coolest name out of everyone," I say, "largely because I can understand what it says." "I don't know, I'd say that Machiv's has a run for money. Demon Harpstrings, why didn't I get that?" asks Hila. "Yeah, mine's pretty boring," says Hala, "I don't know what it means anyways." "Well, we're going to have majestic theory later this week. We can head on over to that," I say.

“Let’s start throwing out ideas and see what sticks.” “Okay,” Isolde said, leaning forward with interest. “If they’re dragons, maybe something powerful like Pyra and Draven.” “Or if they’re wolves,” Cheyenne added, “something classic and moonlit. Like Lune or Fenric.” Tora covered her face with her hands. “You guys are going to give them identity crises before they’re even born.” Chelsea was already on a roll. “If one’s a boy, I vote we name him Brimstone. Brim for short.”

“She’s perfect. She’s absolutely perfect. She is as exactly as she was meant to be.” Weirdly, I never found a boy’s name which spoke to me. Aisling can mean lost soul, but I pointed out to my exhausted, emotional mate, it can also mean a dream or a vision. The name was like a song repeating in my head. Nothing else would do from the moment Rush softly suggested it.

In a moment of defiance, I could not help but muster the courage to speak up. " Bitch," I murmured under my breath, my voice slightly audible. It was a small act of rebellion, my own way of reclaiming power from her inhuman conduct. And in that moment, a new nickname for Willow materialized in my mind: "Spitefield." The name suited her perfectly—a symbol of her cruelty and mean-spirited nature. While she may have relished in causing trouble, I was determined not to let her actions define me. With a hint of satisfaction, I carried on with my work, grateful for the small victory in finding a nickname that reflected Willow's true character.

"Exactly. We’ll create a brand so strong, so recognizable, that every city in Fantasma will have one." Mina slammed the table in excitement. "We’ll need a catchy name!" Mies crossed his arms. "Something simple, something memorable…" After a brief moment, Mina’s eyes gleamed. "WcWonalds." Mies blinked. "...Seriously?" Mina nodded enthusiastically. "It rolls off the tongue! WcWonalds! It sounds friendly, approachable, and powerful!" Mies sighed but smiled in amusement. "Fine, we’ll go with WcWonalds."

I say, forgetting the fact that I'm annoyed with him. “Fairies tend to stick with names revolving around nature. His mom's name was Rose Bush, for heaven's sake. So, how about Wren? It's a little song bird, but it's also commonly used as a male's name so it blends in with the human world, but would also pay homage to his roots.” “Wren Edmund Piper.” I say aloud, testing the name. “I love that!” I wrap and arm around Cash's waist, giving him a quick one-armed hug, without squishing the baby. “Thank you.”

I know for a fact I won't use common names, whether the wolf likes it or not. With that, I go to another website. "Buddy, Rocky, Toby, Cody, Cooper, Bear, Rusty, Bentley, Louie, Sparky, Maximus. No, that's not it," I sigh, "Maybe I have to be more specific." I search for half an hour before I start reading the names slower to see how the wolf reacts. "Dragon. Emerson. Drew. Jayson. Raphael. Briar. Astro. Eclipse. Moon," he perks an ear, but it isn't good enough for me, "Not doing it for you either?" I heave another sigh as I click on another website.
