What are some of your favorite out of the ordinary names from history, religion, or fiction? Could be the name of a person, animal, place, etc.
I’ve really always liked the name Bellerephon from Greek mythology. I also like the name of the home planet of the Time Lords from Dr. Who, Gallifrey, as well as Rassilon, a Time Lord.
I used to collect and make up stupid names : Aiden Abbott Amanda Boat Amelia Cooke Andy & Bunty Hall Arthur & Holly Day, Dawn Day & Annie Day - Day’s Travel Emporium Ben Nevis Blanche and Hugh Allbright-White Carol Singer Charlie (Chuck) Ball - “How very singular” Chit Price Chris Cross (real) Christopher, Lord Sandwich II (Chip Butty - a chip off the old block) Cliff Edge Didier Dolittle - schoolboy Dorothy Morse (Dot) - Former cryptologist at Bletchley. She’s dotty about her dachshund, Dash Drew Leith Dustin Ledger Ed Clutterbuck - Librarian and wannabe author with writer’s block Edna Cloud Ms. Ella Fitz Grant Watts Ezra Goodfellow Mr. Gus ‘the’ Bus - bus driver Heather Moore (real) Hugh Green (real / stage name) Ivy Four Izzy Humble Jack & Constance Dawes - keen ornithologists Jack Hughes Jo Lein - Paul King’s gf Keir Royale Kiefer Roux Lance Ennis-Hand Liam Perrin Lou Tennant Fr. Martin Dupre Mary Christmas Megan Bacon (real) Neal Standswick Orla Board - marries Miles Long Dr. Ozzy Foster Paula Piano Randy Vicars Ray Leader (lay reader) Prof Rebekah Elizabeth Newell Red Herring Robyn Banks Robin Holmes Rodney Marsh Rose Hedge Rudi Mentree Russell Sam Hain b. October 31st Seymore Cleverley - Optician Timothy Topless Tyler Taylor Verity Bull Fleur Meadows Walter Lilley Willy Leadbetter Baroness Annabel Butler-Sink (Babs) Anita Book (accountant) Austin Texas Bert Rand Beverly & Beatrice Hayve (spinster sisters) Chris Tingle Clare Voyant Cliff Hanger Duncan Disorderly Dwaine Pipe - Plumber Ellie Fants Emre Board Fin Toil - Irish labourer Florence Chart Gay Abandon Harvey Enna Helena Handcourt - Prosecuting Barrister Honor Roll Hugo Toofa Jim Khana Bitter Lynne Max Profit May Bees Montgomery Christopher Python Mustafa Grumble Penny Dropping Polly Glot Polly Phony Polly Gone Captain Reginald & Mrs. Dee Mented Lady Bird Fr. Christmas Dr. Hale and Dr. Harty Miss Chivers (real - company name) Toucan Build (company name)
That is an impressive list! I know a person who collects words that sound cool, I should probably start doing something like that as well.
:) That’s an idea from the film The Interpreter. I like nice sounding words too.
In the spirit of this list: Max Watts
:) Nice one! Thanks
