Full Version: What's a good name for a female chaos mage?
I need a name for a character in my story.
Ataxia?
Bloody Mhari
Dude, be serious. :.(...
Dudette Serious.
Seriously.
Seriously.
You could go with a mythology refrence and call her Eris.
Ataxia, definitely. Because then everyone can call her Taxi. That rules.
hmm, a female chaos mage...

Eris was the name I thought off first, too.
Others include Glenda, Brimstone, Bombshell, Persephone, Pandora, Morgana, Patient Zero (Typhoid Mary reference), Circe, Jenova, or Belladonna.
That's all I've got off the top of my head.

I love mythology.
I'll stick with Persephone, I think.
Thanks a lot!

Hope she doesn't mind the inevitable nickname: Persie.
How Ophelia, from Hamlet.
As for using the name of a god: that might not be such a good idea. Suppose they were powerful free spirits in the past and have come back with magic? They might not appreciate having their names used by mere ephemerals.
My wife has decided we're going to name our daughter Eris (although whether that's a first or middle name is still up for debate). I knew a girl whose name was Chaos (she said both her parents were mathematicians, like that just explained it).

Now that's very nearly literally tempting Fate. Good luck!

...yeah. considering who she (Magiera) was dealing with at the time. Kind of pre-occupied.
For names in general I go here: Behind The Name; very handy site.
As for a chaos-themed name... well...
Chaos results
Fate results

Um, how about Jill?
Margaret?
Samantha?
Shadowblade Nightstalker?
Just kidding - I see characters that have several names:
1) The one you were born with. "Jonathon Dexter Smith"
2) The one you call yourself and would like people to call you. "Dex"
3) The one people actually call you. "Dipstick"
#3 almost never sounds as cool to the person it is stuck to as #2 does. The more pretentious the name for #2, the less complimentary #3 turns out to be, in my experience.

...had a bounty hunter named Jill (no last name, just Jill). It was even on her business card.

So very very true.
In a Firefly campaign, I was playing the captain of our vessel.
The crew nicknamed me Crash.
That didn't go over really well trying to get customers.
