Something like Roxy might be nice!.

Some good, gothic, girls charcter names could be:
Circe(look this one up, it actually has an accent in it that I can't show you)
Roxy
Ophelia

Boys names are harder, but you could try:
Crispin
Sirius
Oberon


I don't know what you were thinking of EXACTLY, but I thought I'd give it a go!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

A lot of writers of fiction/fantasy use mythological names as a base!. Look up old names from Norse, Germanic, and Old English myths and make changes to make them feel more appealing and to make them "your own!."Www@QuestionHome@Com
