I think you should try something from greek Mythology or some other ancient culture that has mythical aquatic creatures.

Answer 14

You pose an interesting question, so I'll provide equally interesting questions to better enable you to craft your character ..

One, what kind of people are your "mermen"? Atlantis was in fact a Greek myth/name and so any character name associated with Atlantis invariably has a greco-roman sound to it (and the population has a similar look).

Are your fictious people strictly water-breathers or amphibious? That seems silly until you realize that certain sounds don't transmit as well under water -- if you don't believe me, put your head in a sink full of water and say your name, your friend's name, your dog's name, and see what I mean. I think water-breathers would have vowelish names with lots of long "e" and "i" sounds -- think of whale calls.

What is the point to naming your character at all? If she's a main character, all well and good, but if she's a fringe character that the mc interacts with, why bother with a name? Names are HUMAN traits, it's how we with our limited senses and abilities make sense of the world. Humans are very visual, so we describe things we see and name them so we can tell them apart from other like things. I don't think dogs-people (canine-type humanoids, rather) would name things as they simply are what they are -- each individual different by smell, for example.

I know this doesn't answer your question, but hopefully this will help you analyze your character, and see her for more than just another "Ariel" (A character from a Shakespearean play before she was a mermaid by the way)

Answer 15

Merima... I know a girl named that.

Answer 16

Raina, Kailani, or Erica

Answer 17

queen salinas

Answer 18

Queen Aquariana of the Seven Seas

Answer 19

Arya

Answer 20

I personally think a name like Mara or Julietta sounds quite nice. Just so long as you stay away from any -ielle or -riel names, though, any will do, since I presume that your mermaids speak English with a culture similar to your own, including names.

Answer 21

is she evil? cuz i can only think of evil names: Eris and Priscilla.

Answer 22

Opah Rani

Opah=is a type of fish, Rani=Indian queen

Answer 23

I think that Nevaeh would be an appropriate name. It's "heaven" spelled backwards and, since water is the opposite of the heavens, it's a pretty cool play on words. Good luck with your book!

Answer 24

Amethyst :)

Answer 25

What about Queen Sirenia, or Syrenia. It's just a twist on Siren. That's all I could think of besides Arial and, uh...no. :-)

Answer 26

If you wanted something that had basis in ancient sea myths, try Cymothoe. It's pronounced Sim-oh-tho-ay. She was a Greek sea goddess/nymph that could be dangerous when angered, but would sometimes help grounded ships by pushing them back onto open water. I think the name sounds like waves on a beach.

Answer 27

Celene
Selene
Selena
Serena... something connected to the moon or sea

Rune
Yue
Marisol????

Answer 28

Queen Queimanahn

Answer 29

Ariana would be a nice name or if you want to get biblical Leah or Sarah.

Answer 30

merayah,, or zora from the legend of zelda or zelda

Answer 31

Undine. This is actually a fairy.
