Well, my feeling is that mer-gods would not have such common names!. Look at the meanings of these - and more important, perhaps, the culture of origin - and see for yourself!.

If I were going to write a story about mer-gods, they would have names aligned with whatever culture they resembled!. For example, "Greek" or Atlantean mer-gods would have Greek names, "Norse" mer-gods, Nordic names, etc!. I would want to keep their names in line with whatever culture's gods they were supposed to be!.

There good, i like them all except for 'Pearl'!.!.!.!.!.it doesnt seem right for some reason!.

Really, you could use any name in a work of fantasy!. you dont have to come up with a weird name! Like, the name David could be used along side Sarai or Paul could be used with Leilani!. But, thats just what i think!.

---Try looking at greek legends and other ancient stories, that will probably help you come up with some ballin names---Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think they are good, except for #'s 2!.3!.6!.11!.12!. They just dont seem right, Sorry!. How about the name Alice!? I just seem to like that name a lot!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Many of the names-Jasmine, Rudy, Adrian, Andrea don't seem very "fantasy"!. The others are good!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You've got some good choices!. also, you might try looking at Ancient Greek and Roman gods and making up variations of their names!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
