    I know this is a strange request but I have been stuck on a character name a 3 part fantasy novel for children. I have been writing it for a while but need a very good name for this particular character. You may say a writer needs to come up with his own names and believe you me i have been trying, i could settle for some i have come up with but i would like other opinions.

    The name needs to be child friendly and role of the tounge, no more than 3 syllables and is for a character like dumbldore of gandelf. I especially like dumbledore as it sounds nice and also children will find it friendly. This is important.

    The character is an old man, he has white hair and carries a magnificent staff, it is entwined with wood, tightly wrapping around the shaft of shining metal. He is said to be more than 220 years old but no one dares to count, although he is by far the oldest and wisest of men his humour is quite childlike. Gentle is his nature and anger does not reside within him, but although some would see this old man to be almost weak, he is indeed one of the most powerful elders ever to have lived. ( elder is like a wizard :) )

    well thats my very quick description. Best name gets 5$ ENDS IN 10 DAYS OR IF I PICK A NAME

    They are ok, just not very child friendly, easy to pronounce and easy to say, but thanks for getting the ball rolling. In the future and other people who read this, these are the major factors.

    Good! although it has three O's in it, i like the three syllables. If you need help names like Daramore are good, they sound nice, friendly, childlike and are easy to say.

    Yes that would be better, I know its hard to name a character you dont know. Here are some more points which might help.

    Can a child pronounce it?
    is it easy to say?
    is it easy to spell?
    is it child friendly?
    Does it reflect a.. Comical, gentel, powerful, wise character?

    Imagine for instance that you were creating a Gandelf/Dumbledore character name yourself.
    This is what i have been doing and Daramore is one i came up with but, its hard to know what people like. hence why i started this.
