Some bad character names for a story could be names that are trendy but lack depth, like 'Brayden' or 'Aubrey' when they are just used because they are popular at the moment and not because they add anything to the character. Names that are anagrams of existing words in a way that is too obvious and distracting, such as 'Drab' for 'Bard' if it doesn't serve a purpose in the story. And names that have no connection to the character's personality or backstory. For example, if you have a fierce warrior character and you name him 'Fluffy', it creates a disconnect for the reader.
Some bad boy names could be Blade. It gives an edgy and dangerous feel. Another one is Jax, which sounds tough. And then there's Raze, which implies a bit of a destructive nature.
Villain is a very common name for a bad guy in a story. Another one could be 'Malefactor' which implies someone who does evil. Also, 'Scoundrel' is a great name for a bad character.
Well, 'Shadowblade' can be a great bad guy name for a story. It has a menacing and stealthy feel to it, like a character who strikes from the shadows. 'Thorn' is also a suitable name. It gives the impression of being prickly and difficult, someone who is not easy to deal with. And 'Grimlock' - it sounds really tough and menacing, like a character who is unyielding and fierce.
Luna. This name can be used for a bad girl in a story. For example, Luna could be a sneaky character who likes to play tricks on others and spread rumors to cause trouble in the story's setting, like a small town or a school.
In 'Pride and Prejudice', Elizabeth Bennet is a great character name. 'Elizabeth' is a classic and elegant name, which suits the intelligent and independent - minded protagonist. Mr. Darcy is also a strong name, with a certain air of formality and mystery about it.
One name could be 'Saga', which directly relates to a long story or a sequence of events often of heroic deeds. Another is 'Fable', which is a short story with a moral. 'Narrative' can also be considered as it means a story or an account of events.
One example could be 'Hope'. It can tell a story of optimism and the anticipation of good things to come. It might be given to a child born during a difficult time in a family or community as a symbol of the positive future they hope for.
One could be Ace. It has a cocky and self - assured air to it. Another is Slade, which sounds menacing. Also, the name Zane can work well as it gives an impression of a cool but perhaps a bit of a rule - breaker.
Blackwood. It has a dark and mysterious vibe, perfect for a bad boy character who might be involved in some shady dealings.
One could be 'Jake'. It has a simple yet edgy feel to it. Another option is 'Rogue', which directly gives the impression of someone who doesn't follow the rules. 'Damon' is also a great choice as it has a certain charm that can be associated with a bad boy character in a story.
