Which name do you like best?

[Anonymous]

I’m trying to pick out a name for a character I’m writing. He’s supposed to be the tall, dark, and handsome type, around 30 years old, and I most likely want it to be somewhat unique but not unheard of. I’m happy to take suggestions as well if these are all terrible.

Elias

Lucien

Galen

Alex

Silas

Uriah

Micah

Elias is probably the most common of these names without being too plain.

No idea how to pronounce any of the names other than Alex and Micah. So I'll choose Alex

[CuriousMufuxka]

Out of the choices, Alex. What about Jacob?

[Asker]

I know too many Jacobs lol.

[CuriousMufuxka]

Wouldn't that help with the story? Anyway what about Josiah?

[Asker]

We’ll he’s supposed to be a love interest and I’m a teacher who’s had a lot of jacobs so it just feels weird. Josiah’s a good one though, thanks for the suggestion!

[LazerBean]

Either Silas or Uriah

Alex is a very common name. I picked Uriah.

[Asker]

Yeah it’s super common, I just still kinda like the name Alex. Is it boring though? And thanks for sharing your opinion!

[Flower7]

Yeah, it’s pretty boring. Especially since you specified that you want something unique.

[Asker]

Ok gotcha, thanks again!
