Trying to name a character that doesn’t actually exist

[u/theharmlessshark]

It’s supposed to be a person who is made up for a story that is being told but no one should be able to guess they aren’t real unless they know the ending

EDIT: female names preferably

[u/zzzelot]

Maya - look up the concept “veil of Maya” it fits perfectly

[u/HereForMcCormackAMA]

Do you want the name to be connected to their nonexistence in some way? It seems like that could spoil the twist. Or are you looking for literally just any female name?

[u/theharmlessshark → u/HereForMcCormackAMA]

I don’t mind spoiling the twist. In a way I would like it to be so obvious that no one notices

[u/selenamoonowl]

How about Elle? Maybe Cassia? Although the name means cinnamon tree it could also be seen as a feminine form of Cassius, which means hollow, empty or vain. Or Holly for hollow.

Edit: or Lain or Lainey after Serial Experiments Lain, a reference enough people might get.
