I am willing to create a name for your original characters, a new ability, a new item, or even a new location for your characters or official characters. There are some catches though, if the following is acceptable - then all you need to do is note me with the information, if you have little we will work it out.

Here is what I need to know these things for me to create the name.

:new: After you are comfortable with the name(s) you receive, and which for a new name. Please allow a full day to pass for your new name request. You may also comment here for your name request.

All Names
:bulletpurple: Is there is an anagram in your character's name? If so what is the anagram required or is a substitute for?
- Example FF7 1: Aerith has the anagrams of on the air, Earith, I heart, and I earth
- Example FF7 2: Aeris has the anagrams of is aer, arise, Earis, raise, Aries, Ares, I, and Eris, a
- Example FF7 3: エアリス EARISU has the anagrams of アエリス AERISU and アリエス ARIESU which are translated as Earth {what Square-officials wanted}, Aeris {which is Latin for atmosphere}, and Aries {zodiac sign} respectively.
:bulletpurple: You may tell me if you want certain words in the items/characters name.
:bulletpurple: You must tell me what language the name should be from in our world - not theirs [French, German, Japan, China, and Egypt are some].
- Example: Falak means 'star' in Arabic, but could be considered Cetra in FF7 or Centra in FF8.
:bulletpurple: You must always tell me the universe that the name is to be for or from. This is particularly helpful if you want a name for a character whose name fits in with the rest of the names in that universe.
- If the name is for a Sailorverse character, is he or she an enemy? If so, does the name of your SU enemy follow the theme of minerals and precious stones?
:bulletpurple: Is there is a pun in the name? All or part of the name? Tell me if the pun is part of a statement that links to the name.
- Example 1: Tsukino Tera has a pun on Terra of the Moon.
- Example 2: The [real] surname Nasti is a nasty.
- Example 3: Gudauld Home is a pun on good old home.
- Example Statement: "It's better to Kare then not." is a pun on "It's better to care then not."
:bulletpurple: Is the name a parody of something in our world? Or is it made up in the universe?
- Example: Nakayo-P is a parody of Nakayoshi, Nakayo-P is found in CNSV.
:bulletpurple: You must tell me which era or world the name belongs in - particularly for those which have more then one era/world such as Inuyasha, Sailorverse, Yūgi-Ō, Rurōni Kenshin, Final Fantasy, and Xenosaga.

Character Names and Nicknames: You need to tell me the following...
:bulletgreen: Is this a nickname? Or a full name?
:bulletgreen: Does your character have any officially known family members? This will help me find a theme to work with.
- Example 1: My character, Elohim, is linked to Sephiroth, Jenova, Kadaj and his two brothers in FF7. (It's not the birthname, but it works.)
- Is your character a member of the Hyūga family in Naruto? A member of the Leonhart-Loire family in FF8?
:bulletgreen: Does your character have any jobs or occupations? This would help with English names more then not.
- Is your female character a Miko? Salesman?
:bulletgreen: What is the origin or birthplace of the name and/or character? This will help me fit the character into his/her surroundings {if desired}.
- Is your character from Alexandria of FF9? Is he from Midgar of FF7? Is she from Galbadia of FF8?
:bulletgreen: What is your character's basic personality? This will help me figure out the starting point of the your character's name.
- Is your character playful? Does she have a sunny personality? A strategical expert? A weapons know-it-all?
:bulletgreen: What is your character's element(s) or influence? What does she handle? This might come to play in the name.
- Can your character control Fire? Influenced by the Stars? Does she control the flow of a River? Does she relay on Wisdom? Is he able to see the future with Time-Space? Does he bring Ruin to where he goes?
:bulletgreen: Does the character have any nicknames? Is the nickname for a that is an official character who has gotten or is given the nickname by your character? Tell me who is nicknaming the character in question you wish of me to create a nickname for.

:bulletblue: If this ability was animated, and there is a sequence for it, in anime or game version? If so give a short description or key words, this will help me.
- Related to which universe; See All Names above for more.

Item Names: You need to tell me the following...
:bulletyellow: Who is the item for? Why does the character have this item? Does this item relate to your character's occupation?
- Example: Sailor Mars, from Sailorverse, has an arrow that links to her being a Shinto miko.

Other Names: You need to tell me the following...
:bulletblack: Is this a potion, spell (charm, curse, hex, etc.) for Harry Potter? How does it work?
- Example 1: The Genetica Historia Potionta, often called 'Family History potion', is a potion similar to DNA testing and creates a family tree that shows the biological relations - this could be for Harry Potter.
- Example 2: Historia Medicina could be a spell that reveals the full medical history of a witch or wizard in Harry Potter
:bulletblack: Is this the name scientific in general? (Scientific names are usually Latin, tell me otherwise.)

The following universes are more particular for me:
:bulletred: Inuyasha (Inu)
:bulletred: Rurōni Kenshin (RK)
:bulletred: Harry Potter Septeries1 (HPS)
:bulletred: Naruto (Naru)
:bulletred: Yūgi-Ō (YGO)
:bulletred: Sailorverse2 (SU)
:bulletred: Yū Yū Hakusho (YYH)
:bulletred: Final Fantasy (FF)
^ VII (FF7) - this includes Before Crisis (FF7 - BC), Advent Children (FF7 - AC), Dirge of Cerberus (FF7 - DC), and Crisis Core (FF7 - CC).
^ VIII (FF8)
^ IX (FF9)
:bulletred: Pokémon (Poké)
:bulletred: Xenosaga (Xeno)
:bulletred: Blood+ (B+)
:bulletred: Bleach (Bl)
:bulletred: MÄR - Märchen Awakens Romance (MAR) or (MÄR)

1 Septeries comes form the Latin word for [seven] which is [septum] and the English word [series].
2 That is my collective universe for both Bishōjo Senshi Sailor Moon (BSSM) and The Code Name is Sailor V (CNSV). It should be noted that SU stands for Sailor Universe.

If you wish for me to create a name that is not for the universe listed above you must tell Other along with the name of the universe.

if you're still doing name requests can you please help me?
i need some (first name only) name suggestions for a character of mine.
the character is a black stuffed toy rabbit that comes to life to fight off anything that dares to harm it's owner.
the rabbit is male, late teens, and likes to wear outfits with hats
he does not have any known family members because he is a toy.
he is a bit stubborn, cocky, badass and often doesn't say much unless compelled to and has a real fighting spirit and wants to push himself to the limit to win any challenge.
if i had to connect him to a character maybe hiei from yu yu hakusho or king kazma from summer wars
he mostly likes to fight in hand to hand combat but may resort to guns if needed
i may come up with a name for him like "black-jack" but most likely not.
-thank you
