| "Hills in Mist" by Martin Vorel from LibreShot.com |
I started this list to help me with naming characters. It is an ongoing work in progress.
Although organized alphabetically, I think of these names as falling into one of three (occasionally overlapping) categories:
(1) names that people have or are giving themselves right now (especially trans and non-binary people);
(2) names that I am playing with for The Necessarily Brief History of the Free Socialist Democracy of Portlandia, a near-future fiction project consisting of many epistolary fiction pieces; and
(3) names based on verbs, for my far-future civilization from which a character is writing The Necessarily Brief History.
English is my first language, and what sounds gender-agnostic to me may sound gendered from the perspective of another language.
