hello! my name is lyra (leer-ah), and I like making lists of names and words that tickle my fancy. on this blog, you can find inspiration for character names, place names, names for real life, and pretty much anything else you can derive from a word or a root. lists will be tagged according to theme and purpose.

[masterlist]

aside from these, I love cats, reptiles, art, history, writing, and plants.

sources: cemeteries. books. word nerds' lists online. colour swatch sites. species identification guides. more to be remembered.

requests: open.

name list: rogue vibes

The best name for a rogue would probably be something entirely unassuming, but where's the fun in that?

Rogues are cunning and secretive, but they can vary in motivation and other skills. Some are sneaky thieves or assassins; others, smooth-talking diplomats or spies. They are often skilled in a certain trade or craft. Rogues may be compared to ravens, crows, lyrebirds, or magpies for their way with words...and love of shiny things.

The following names reflect these traits. If you have questions about any of them, feel free to ask!

name list: names containing or starting with the ch sound

Key notes: pronunciation depends on location and etymology. For example, Chaya as derived from Sanskrit fits this list as it typically starts with the same ch as heard in chalk, but Chaya as derived from Hebrew does not. Gender skew is also variable. For example, the name Chanda is historically gender neutral, but it is primarily used for girls.
