It's Monday again.
Er, I mean ---
Happy Monday, all! ;D
I've got some Futuristic names for you today, me lovely beans. It's been quite a while since I've featured any in that particular genre, and when I stumbled on Destry last week, I thought it'd be as good a time as any. :]
{For those of you who may be new to this little blog and are wondering what this could possibly be, then please, allow me to humbly explain: I feature Name posts every (most) Monday. As a hobbyist writer, I LOVE finding new, unique, old-fashioned, and/or lovely names for my characters. Being a collector of such names, so to speak, I enjoy seeking out the meaning and history behind them as well. I started this series to share what I find and maybe even inspire names for characters of your own, if you too are a self-proclaimed writer---or even a published author. :] So, with all that said. . .}
Enjoy!

Thanks, girl! Yes, Kyan is unique and easily pronounced, I believe. But Falken & Destry are probably my two faves of this lot ;D
DeleteLove these!
ReplyDeleteGreat post, as usual! <3
Thank you, dearie! *^ - ^*
DeleteOh my goodness, this is one of my favorite groups of names you've shared yet! I love ALL of these. Destry is amaziiiing. Falken and Kyan is fantastic too. And Mya is so pretty.
ReplyDeleteI'm adding ALL of these to my list of names! Thank you so much, Sarah! :D
YESSS, I loves them all!! They are simply, yet unique, and so very easy to pronounce. Some true name-gems, to be sure!
DeletePlease do!! And it's an absolute pleasure. *^ - ^*
I love each of these names, but I think I especially love Destry. It sounds like such a lovely name!!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you. Destry was the name I came across first, and I loved how different it is! I could see it used for both a boy or girl, but I think I like it best as a girl's name. :]
DeleteOooh, I LOVE these. I really want to name a character Falken now! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks!! YESSSSSS, do it!!! I'd love to see what kind of character you would make him (or her, cuz it could be used for a female, I think) :D
