6 Name progress chart. (Taking suggestions for names!)
12 years ago
This is simply a list of some of my characters and their names so far, to show where I'm at, and to take suggestions for names.
Before the actual list, here are some sites for finding names: (it will be handy for me as well, to have the links in the same page)
http://www.babynames.com/name/Audrey <- I use for finding names of certain languages
http://www.thinkbabynames.com/meaning/0/Audrey <- my favorite site for finding new names
http://www.sheknows.com/baby-names/name/audrey <- a more comprehensive site
Matilda - English; Battle strength
Nana - Scandinavians; Brave
Now for the actual list.
For the record, all names for furry characters, will be used for the human version as well:

http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2256745/ (NSFW, human)
(Grace?)
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/9263429/ (NSFW, human)
Macy
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/9257031/ (NSFW, human)

(Aurelia?)
MLP-derived characters:
human based on Twilight from MLP (and/or Azusa from K-on)
not named yet (Patricia? Lumina? a japanese name?)
human based on Trixie
not named yet (Valentine? Merlina? Merlina Valentine?)
human based on Cadence

Celestia-like character that enters human world as a human, Equestria Girls style
not named yet (most likely a god sounding name such as Hera)
token Octavia clone
not named yet
Lastly there is a character I drew over the winter, that I didn't upload, but is simple enough to describe:
she is:
- caucasian
- a noble, and potential candidate for princess/queen
- has long hair
- hair color is lavender
- in a fuedal setting & time period, possibly with fantasy elements
- Other traits; She is pure hearted. She may be politically incompetent.
Name criteria:
- First name, last name, and title might be needed. (e.g. Princess Jill Smith) I don't have any knowledge of fuedal titles, therefore value the input of anyone who does. "Lady" I suppose is a good catch all, since it's the female version of "sir". There's also "knightess".
- The 3 words must sound well together. (e.g. I considered Raine, but Princess Raine kinda sounds like it's raining princesses. Whereas Lady Raine sounds better.)
- Bonus points if the name is russian or slavic. (but it doesn't have to be)
Names I considered are
Natalya
Natasha
Raine
Lumina
Lavender (since her hair color is lavender, hurr) (the folder I created for reference pics for her, is titled lavender. So the name has kind of a quaint practicality to it. But it is somewhat an odd sounding name.)

Godiva!!
Her name is Godiva!

Sorry I didn't follow up on the character detail discussion, but you've already thought through these characters in far more detail than I'm ever likely to.
If I create a character, I start with the barest essential details, then flesh it out through roleplay.
This character, Digan, started off with a name, a set of colours, and the description "a tall, quiet feline".
That was it. Everything else developed as I played the character, in interaction with other people.
I like being suggested names, because in a way it's more realistic than naming someone after you already know who they are. It also helps me narrow it down. If someone likes the name x for character y, then I might as well choose that, or use that as a jumping point. (looking at variants of the same name, alternate spellings, etc)
There are many names like Lumina, Lily, Violet, Audrey, Donna, which seem good and I expect to use eventually -- the question is for which character. It's sorta like a massive matching puzzle.
I was looking at "simplistic" characters before and even drew some of them a few months ago (winter 2012), but none fit the bill quite as well.
My favorite name site. Search by origin, male or female. They are numbered so you can use random generation.
I use the advanced search option. http://www.mybirthcare.com/favorites/babynames.asp
__character #1
Anna "mother"
Bly "tall"
Dakota "friend" "ally"
Nadie "wise"
Nina "strong"
__character #2
Ayita "first to dance"
Catori "spirit"
Onida "the one searched for"
Tiva "dance"
The site doesn't seem to show pronunciatons.
Maybe I should stick to names in which pronunciation isn't ambiguous.
For example Bly is out. (does it rhyme with "Lie" or does it rhyme with "Lee" ?)
Dakota is a good choice simply because it's blatantly native american. ... Yea, I might be going with Dakota for character #1.
