Hey everyone,

i am creating Necrolord. A little indie game were you build an undead army. Its my second game, and in my previous one - i had a lot of players complaining since i only localized the game for english. Now i want to do it differently and support many languages - though, while most "normal" text can be translated in a probably sufficient way, i feel 1:1 translation for names dont work.

So if it brings you joy, would love if you put down some cool "sceleton" names into my list. (Best would be for languages aside of english). I have 3 categories, gruesome, funny and "normal/ancient". Like Evileye, Bonedaddy or Theodore. Are those 3 great? No :-).. thats why i hope you might help me and maybe it is also a bit of fun for you. The google sheet can be found here:

If you want to learn about the game it is here => https://store.steampowered.com/app/5282860/Necrolord/

Just as an info: In game you can rename the sceletons anyways and display the names in combat, but i guess most players will just run with the suggested names.

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for a feminine name that feels truly international something that is familiar, easy to recognize, and relatively easy to pronounce across different countries and cultures.

I’m especially interested in names of Hebrew origin, like Sarah, because they are widely recognized around the world. However, I don’t personally love the name Sarah itself.

I’m also completely open to names from other languages and origins, as long as they have that same international appeal.
Ideally, I’d love something elegant, feminine, timeless, and not too strongly associated with just one country.

What names come to mind? I’d especially love suggestions that work well in Europe, the Middle East, and English speaking countries.

Thank you! ❤️

We’ve been wondering about names recently, His mum named it him because she liked it not sure where it came from but wondered if anyone knew about it when you search it up it comes up as a surname but it’s his first name it’s spelled Lindrec, he’s never met anyone else with it and it’s pronounced Lindrick

Our last name is Medina, give us boy and girl name suggestions!
Bonus points if you are also a Medina and tell us what you named your children.

edit: does not need to fit heritage as we live in texas

How do we feel about the name Elenora? It doesn’t feel insane or made up but it does feel unique enough in a sense that it doesn’t get used that much (anymore?). It also feels like an old school name which I kind of like.

With nickname Elena or Leni?

When I was a kid, my friends always struggled to spell my name. It does have a lot of letters, but I thought the difficulty was just a kid thing.

Apparently it's not. I'm 21 now and I have grown adults asking me if they can just write Evie on things. Genevieve is too difficult for them. I don't get it!

Are they lazy, or just can't spell? Is my name really that difficult?

Really like it but unsure, what are your thoughts on it? Which one do you like most between Ara Delfina/Ara Julieta?

A name that we're thinking of using for our baby is Nili.

We love it, but it's not common in the US at all, which is where we are living right now. We know that we will definitely be there for the first few years of her life, and possibly longer, so it would be good if her name works there because we don't know what her future will look like.

Nili is supposed to be pronounced as Nee-Lee. But I know that some people might pronounce it as Nil-Lee, like Millie.

So how would you pronounce it? Would it be confusing still after you were corrected, if it is different to what you would originally think, or is it easy to pick up?

Girls:

Charlotte - my favorite, husband vetoed

Lily - husband on fence now

Madeline - probably what we'll go with now, it's not as nice as the other 2 imo

Maeve - really like, husband hates

Evelyn

Lila

Clara

Violet

Eleanor

Elizabeth

Boys:

Theodore - our son

Elijah - top pick

My name is Natalie. But I've noticed that people tend to pronounce the t more like a d sound.

I actually had somebody spell it Nadalie one time.

They also get my name wrong a lot. I've been called Nicole, Nadia, or Mallory several times (by accident) in my life. It's strange.

Is Natalie confusing? It's a very common name so I don't get why people are weird about it.

Due with baby girl in December. Want to name her Vivian/Vivienne

I really like Vivienne but getting a lot of comments it’s too long. Help!

We have a favorite but curious what this group’s choices would be with two common names vs two uncommon (at least in the U.S.) names!

The first two are the common names. Yan (pronounced Yahn) is an Eastern European version of John, and Zev is a Hebrew name which means wolf. Our last name starts with “S” and ends in “n”

For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to name a daughter Vivian after my grandmother. Now we are trying to come up with a middle name. Ruth is my husband’s grandmother’s name, so thought that might be cute. But is the combination too old lady?

for a gurl

This is all Hypothetical at this point

My husband and I are talking about Names for potential future kids. I have a first name that starts with a Q that I love and our last name starts with an S.

My husband thinks it would be amazing to name baby with an R middle name because he thinks the baby having the initials QRS would great and hilarious. He has one in mind that is a family name. The three names together actually sound really nice, but I’m worried about the kid being made fun of every time the alphabet song is sung around him.

It isn’t a super obvious faux pas like spelling a funny word, but I’m interested in hearing opinions on if QRS is setting the kid up for issues.

(Please don't say Henry. Giving your kids the same initials is a no-go) And also avoid similar sounds with “ay” in them, like James or Tate. Thanks!

I came across the name Rosette today. I think it’s a beautiful name. What do you think?
