What would you add to this list of Dystopian names?? Got a favorite of these? I kinda like 'em all, to be honest. But I lean towards Nyx & Rift of this lot. :]
Have a lovely week, y'all!
And if you're interested, don't forget about my March linkup!
Ooooh, very dystopianish! LOVE. I think Nyx is my favorite too! I feel like that'd be a good one for a mischievous fairy as well. So many possibilities! :D And I've ALWAYS loved the name Skye. It's so pretty. <3
ReplyDeleteYes! totally a faerie name! And yes, Skye just has a simple beauty about it. ^_^
DeleteThis makes me want to write more dystopian fiction. XD
ReplyDeletehaha! SAME! ;D
DeleteThese do have a sort of dystopian feel to them, don't they?
ReplyDeleteI love Skye the most - mainly because I have a family connection to the Isle of Skye.
That's awesome! It's a beautiful name (and country). :D
DeleteI really loved both Skye and Nyx. Both are so cool sounding!!
ReplyDeleteAgreed! Those are both great. :D
DeleteI love the name Nyx. I actually know someone who has a character of that name in their story, and the character is a dark and brooding type.
