Fantasy novel names

I usually love the female names and want to make a list (both Male and Female) of any that you know.

There are plenty of sites that list the LOTR names, but there are so many fantasy novels out there with awesome names in them I would love to hear some that you know of.

Aragorn

Arwen Evenstar

Barliman Butterbur

Beregond

Bilbo Baggins

Boromir

Denethor

Elrond

Eomer

Eowyn

Faramir

Frodo Baggins

Galadriel

Gandalf the Grey

Gimli

Glorfindel

Gollum

Grima Wormtongue

Legolas

Meriadoc Brandybuck (aka Meri)

Peregrin Took (aka Pippin)

Quickbeam

Samwise Gamgee

Saruman the White

Sauron

Shadowfax

Shelob

Theoden

Tom Bombadil

Treebeard

Found this list on LOTR not sure some of them would be used to name your baby, but still ;)

I am reading Garth Nix the Old Kingdom Chronicles and there are some nice names in it also

Chlorr of the Mask

Corolini

Hedge

Kerrigor (Rogir or Rogirek)

Lirael

Mogget

Nicholas Sayre

Orannis

Sabriel

Sameth

Ellemere

Mirelle

Sanar

Ryelle

Vancelle

Ness

Imshi

Jasell

Kirrith

DP and I were only talking about Arwen Evenstar the other night! I love the name Arwen for a baby girl.

Can't think of any more off the top of my head right now. I read a lot of Terry Pratchet books & I'm always combing them for potential names!

I love David Eddings books, tales of old times and different worlds, some names from these are:

Ehlana
Aphrael (love this - in the book she is a child goddess)
Sephrenia
Flute

Martel
Annias
Azash
Dolmant
Sparhawk

I will check some more books tomorrow and let you know some more... i love Fantasy names, should have thought of some for my DD's.

Not books... but from a fantasy game - I guess they aren't terribly unusual but I LOVE some of them.

Morrigan
Flemeth
Leliana
Wynne
Anora
Neria
Shianni
Branka

Valendrian
Zevran
Sten
Bodahn
Cailin
Ohgren
Endrin
Maric
Loghain
(there was also a duncan, alistair, eamon but they're boring ;) )

That's all the ones i can remember off the top of my head...

We seriously thought about Arwen for DD2.

I love the David Eddings books too, Aphrael is beautiful.
I like Kerrigor & Lirael, Ryelle, Leliana.

All beautiful & unusual :)

I know an IRL Arwen. She's into medieval dancing stuff so I don't know if that's the name her parents gave her or if she just helped herself.

Also know twins called:
Isabeau from Ladyhawke
Elora from Willow

My old username on here use to be Laranna which I shortened from Aglaranna which is from Magician. I had Laranna on my girls names list but DH wouldn't let me :)

Two other names I like are from Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time series - Nynaeve and Egwene.

There are some great Chronicles of Narnia character names here.

Some of those I like are
Aravis
Digory
Rillian
Tirian
Jewel
Caspian

I used to pronounce my name Arwen when I was little. And Digory is a normal name, like Cecil or Roderick.

Two favourite fantasty names from me:

Jareth (Labyrinth's Goblin King)
Eskarina (Discworld: Equal Rites)

Many others have been mentioned. I'll come back with some more, although I tend to like "bad guy" names.

I always liked Nevare (Nuh-Vair), from Robin Hobb's Soldier Son Series.
Unusual for a male name.

There are many more I've liked but am having a mental blank. Will have to scope the book case.

Leareth
Lavan
Karal
Eldan
Dantris
Rolan
Kelvren
Treyvan

Kalira
Tarma
Kethry

From my favourite author.

I'm a big fan of Isobel Carmody so here are some names from her books (Obernewtyn & Darkfall). I know they are technically kids books but I started reading Obernewtyn when I was 12 & she still hasn't finished it :o.

Analivia
Avra
Blyss
Bruna

Gilaine
Iriny
Kasanda
Kella

Solen
Bleyd
Tarsin
Anyi
Lev
Donard
Lanalor
Argon
Colwyn

Oh I loved Solen. :heartbeat:

from the Brisinger dragon rider series, the elves princess name was ARYA, which I quite like, also really liked Arwen for a girls name, but DP wants Ceridwen!

Oooo, Treebeard Glorfindal has a nice ring to it ;)

I don't think DH would ever agree to a name from a fantasy book. Maybe if he didn't know where it came from...

I love Aphrael too, I used to use it on a different forum as my id.

Adara
Garion
Flute (DH wanted this for a girl til he thought about possible nicknames)

Aragorn reminds me of the spider in Harry Potter. I also love love love Arwen I think its so feminine. Bilbo and Frodo I think are a little closer to too chartoon style but I like Boromir and love Faramir. Galadriel I like but sounds a bit of a mouthful. I also like Samwise.
I really like Theoden and Theo is a great name if its shortened.
My pick of your list is Arwen for a girl and its a tie for Theoden and Faramir for a boy.

.... :heartbeat: absolutely love Sabriel and Theoden :heartbeat: ....

i like ellemere... thats really pretty.

I have just grabbed some of DH"s Sara Douglass books for ideas for you.

Drago
Spikefeather (maybe not LOL)
Zared
Askam

I am going to have a serious look at them soon... would appreciate more :)

Oh God! I had a serious Sparhawk crush when i first read them! Plus what was the name of that gorgeous guy from Ladyhawke? Was it Ettienne? Love that!

Love all the David Eddings/Sara Douglas/Isabel Carmody book names! Lol! Honestly never thought to start combing them for name ideas! My DH is NOT a reader so he would never guess where I got it from! LOL

ETA: Just had to add in Antryg from the Windrose chronicles by Barbara Hambly because he had such a great sense of humour!

I wish I could do that but my DH doesn't like anything that's not completely normal. He didn't even like Cooper & it's on the top 10 list lol! He let me have Cooper as a middle name though!
