Is Wesley a good name for a prince in a fatasy story?

Question: Is Wesley a good name for a prince in a fatasy story!?

or is it too modern!? I kinda like it but I dunno!. I mean, wasn't the guy in Princess Bride anmed wesley!? and that was a fantasy!. (I am so not coppying! I didn't even make the connection till jsut now)

anyway, here's what he loks like!. Tall with dark hair and big brown eyes!. he's kinda naive as a prince and doesn't really know about all the bad things going on in his country!. But by the end of the book he's kinda grown up and turned in t less of a prince and more of a king!. If you're like me and your visual then a celebrity that he looks like is Skandar Keynes!.

Suggestions please!?!?!?!? But NOT just a long list! I repeat NOT JUST A LONG LIST OF NAMES! All I want is a few names and why you like them!. Thanks!

It reminds me of Ron Weasley from Harry Potter, but I think a better name would be Edward or Charles or something like that!. Oh, how about the name Ardwin or Arwin!. I kind of think that is a good fantasy name!.!.!.

yes princess bride made that name!. but i think these would aslo be kool prince names:
~christian
~henry
~humperdink [hehe just kiding--that was the other guys name from princess bride]

but henry was an actual prince[and king] and i just like the name christian [mostly b/c of the movie moulin rouge :]Www@QuestionHome@Com

His name was actually Westley!. But I guess that's splitting hairs since most people would pronounce it Wesley!. But The Princess Bride is the first thing I thought of when I read the question!. Maybe shoot for another name since people might relate him to that character!. Hope that helps!Www@QuestionHome@Com

i think wesley is a really good name!. it's unique, yet old fashioned!. the names james, arthur, etc!. are old fashioned but boring compared to wesley!. good choice!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Hate it!

What about Prince Alexander!? It sounds aristocratic, but you can refer to him also as Alex when he is alone with his true love, etc!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Are you writing a book!? Thats is soo cool! I want to write a book too :) Whats the name of it!? It sounds really interesting
As for your question : I think Wesley is a good name!. It reminds me of Harry Potter Ron Wesley though!. Its a little modern, not really!. I just think you can think of something more creative!. What about something like Amir or Charles!? It would help if I knoew what country he was the prince of!. Pick something native to that country!. I googled "prince names" and I like Britannicus!. Its sounds strong and prince-like :)
Good luck! I hope your writing is awesome, im sure it will be!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I actually really like that name!. If you're writting the story you need to make it part of you and go with what you feel is right!. I think it's a great name and it's not to modern at all!. I I think Wesley is a name that is good for alot of roles, it fits for a small child or and old man!. It could be a range of different people and it's perfect for a dynamic character who needs to sound strong!. A few other names I like for a Prince are
Lukas
Deacon
I think you should stick with what you haveWww@QuestionHome@Com
