A name for Anakin and Tahiri's child

I know that each person's story is unique, but I believe that most A/T stories should have at least some things in common.

For example, I know that Satine and myself are looking for names for Anakin and Tahiri's child, but cannot come up with anything.

If any writers already have a name, or can suggest one, I at least would like to hear it.

 

Here are some of my ideas:

Female: Shmi (for Anakin's GGM)
Lyric (for a mutual friend)
Amie (roughly after Amidala)
An original name

Male: Luke (after their mentor)
Ikrit?(dunno about this one)
An original name

Some original names (meanings from a baby book):

Female: Jyl (youthful)
Adelaide (prosperous; happy)
Nina (girl)
Ilona (beautiful)
Hope (hope)
Leda (lady)
Mabyl (lovable)
Maida (maiden)
Pryma (first child)
Salome (peace)
Rona (mighty power)
Sophi (wisdom)
Selima (peaceful)
Tia (princess)
Victoria (victory)
Wynne (fair)
Xanthe (golden yellow)
Zahara (flower)
Zoe (life)

Male: Alan (handsome)
Alben (fair, blonde)
Alex (helper of mankind)
Allard (noble and brave)
Alphonse (noble and eager)
Alvin (beloved by all)
Anson (of divine origin)
Asher (happy, blessed)
Aubrey (blonde ruler)
Bowie (yellow-haired)
Brian (strength, virtue)
Bruno (brown-haired)
Chaim (life)
Cullen (handsome)
Curran (hero)
Ethan (firm)
Evan (young warrior)
Farrell (heroic)
Fremont (guardian of freedome)
Hale (hero)
Haley (ingenious)
Keefe (charished, handsome)
Kyle (handsome)
Lucius (bringer of light)
Omar (first son)
Prentice (apprentice)
Quinlan (physically strong)
Selig (blessed)
Sloan (warrior)
Waite (guard)

Thoughts? Ideas?

 

If you wanted to go with traditional 'name after family members' idea I think that Anakin would want to name a little girl Leia after his mom, or Luke after his uncle.

But for origionals:

Girl:
Nova
Nyree
'N' names work well for this...

and for a boy:
Liam
Oran


My advice is to stay simple...

Maybe for male,Jacen
For female,Leia or Jaina.

 

In my fic, Namesake, I named their small son Luke, to complete the circle: Anakin Skywalker, Luke Skywalker, Anakin Solo, Luke Solo.

As for naming a daughter, Shmi, they would have no way of knowing that that was her name. They know nothing about the prequels.

 

Well, I'm personally of the belief that all fics should be completely unique - names and all. If you want to make a character have the same name as a character in another fic, you should PM the author and ask them for permission, then give them credit. Beyond that, I don't really think fics should have to remain consistant as far as names go, since we are essentially creating our own version of the wonderful galaxy that George Lucas has told us so many stories about, but that's just my personal opinion.

 

I just thought that it would be fun to have a character orginal to the fanfic forums, but has the same name in all stories written about him/her. I understand if some don't want to have the character named the same as in another story. I just need to have a name, and thought I could use the same one that others are using.

 

Anyway, I think I'm going to use a female child for my fic, and I'm leaning towards the name Ilona, meaning beautiful.

 

I think that's a pretty name for a girl. Can I borrow some of the ones that other people chose because I need some people to vote for mine?

A lot of the ones I were going to mention were already mentioned and I just realized that the other names were stupid.

 

Okay, whatever name you choose, don't choose Earthly name (like Alan or Victoria). When I see Earthly names in fanfics (and even in books like The Thrawn Trilogy), it makes me cringe. Making up names is not THAT hard.

Using existing names (Luke, Han, Leia, Jaina, Jacen, Anakin). I wouldn't do that either. There already is one person who's named after someone else (Anakin Solo), and I think that's enough. In some fics an exception works, though (like in Mcily's "Namesake", because you see it from title and it's symbolic, the complete circle).

Naming their child Shmi or Amie (after Amidala) doesn't make sense either, since they have no knowledge of the past.

So I'd advise you to make up a name. You mentioned the name Ilona - it's nice, but it's too eathly. Try change it a bit - for example, "Ilonne", or something like that. See what I mean?

 

Yeah, I see what you mean, and I agree. I just try not to make names too exotic, otherwise it detracts from the story more than it adds to it. I like Ilona because it sounds somewhat exotic (I'd never heard of it before), while still being Earthly. I may consider changing it a little though. Thanks for the thought. Perhaps we could get a list of the best names, and then take a poll?

EDIT: I just thought of this. The last main character I remember with an accent mark in the name was Padmé. Why not do a name with a bit of a Spanish accent, like Iloña (E-lone-ya). I kinda like the way that sounds.

 

It seems that Satine is the only one considering any of the names I posted, and no one else is discussing, so I guess I'm just going to use Iloña.

 

I'd better not tell my sister that name because I know she'll love it and claim it for whenever she has a baby and then the fic will never be the same! jk.

 

That would be cool.

Now if we could only find her a man to marry named Anakin...


EDIT: (Just didn't feel like making a new post for this comment) I just realized that I'm not going to need a name for a while. It would be to early in the fic I'm writing now. Maybe in the sequal...

*Braces self for mixed feedback*

 

I'm upping this for anyone who is actually interested.

I've decided on using the name Ellona for A&T's daughter, and I'm using the accent thing for another original character.

Hope my list helps you in some way Satine.

 

How about Illonya...just my two cents

-jsd

 

when I rewrote my fic Calm Before the Storm I just called their kid Anakin... I don't think it could work in many other fics but it was fitting in mine.

 

Hmm... I like Salome... Nice name...

 

In my A/T trilogy, they named their daughter Cassa Doj'i Solo...Cassa because it was Tahiri's mother's name. (And it also means 'prophetess.' Doj'i was my Yuuzhan Vong word for 'dawn,' or 'sunrise.' (The title of the story that Cassa was born in was called 'When Comes the Dawn.' There were several reasons behind it.

 

In my story, Return to Grace, I had their son named Tryst. I believe it was the name of Tahiri's father. Ask Qwi. She gave me the idea.

 

LOL, yes, Tryst was Tahiri's father.
