Ok as stated on the topic. I need some names for Sol's prologue story as I can't seem to think of any good ones. And since I'm actually writing it backwards I only need a name that will fit a female ice user...for now.

Wow, those sentences were actually (mostly) grammatically correct. As opposed to the abundance of grammar horrors I see in your normal RP posts.
Anyway, what do you mean by writing it backwards?
I can let you use some of the names that I thought for my various stories, but then I would feel cheated. >_> I helped you name Sol after all. You should look up archaic names online or something. Modern names.. if you want.. but if you're aiming for a fantasy story, then archaic would be nicer.
Or you can do little tricks like taking a normal name, flip it backwards, then write what it sounds normally. That's what I did with Sol Raxius, actually. Carlos --> Solrac --> Sol C. Raxius.
Dun dun dun.

What I mean is that I'm basically starting from the end and work it backwards to the start of the story. So the amount of names I need is indefinite.

I hope you'll let me correct your grammar.

I use another method for my incantations, something like Pig Latin but not quite.
Light > Ightl > Igles
Lance > Ancel > Ancelid
Etcetera. I guess it could work for names too.
If anyone noticed, Erutaretil is Literature backwards.

lol...come to think of it... i used to spend hours trying to think of a nice user name or in-game-name for my characters and what not. until i realised that oxymoron-s were fantastic too xD
anyway, here are some suggestions:
Aisa (sounds like ice? ._.)
Hyouri (hyou = ice in jap. but its not the full word)
Hailee (hail?)
oh man, i can only think of these for now. but eerrrmm... you could also use names that are not that related to the character, with the exception of gender. and it'll turn out pretty fine.
for one thing, Kamin doesn't sound all that holy and angelic right? but it still sounds nice to be the name of a half-angel. =)

My character names are inspired by animes/movies, or else random (for non-Westernised or Oriental cultures e.g. Erans). Sometimes I modify Jap words.

I completely forgot about TTGL while naming my characters.
It has become a mistake I wish I could forget.

What's wrong with KAMINAAAAAAA?
Apart from him being incredibly manly and Kamin not being a man of course.
It's settled. From now on Kamin will be called Kaminko.

Ok, I need your opinions. Which sounds better, Miera or Meira?

Ok, I need your opinion. Which sounds better to YOU?
This is your story, not ours. Whatever you want to write is up to you--that's the beauty of fiction. If the audience doesn't like it, then screw them. This is your world.

The problem is I can't decide which sound better as both sound roughly the same. Though I've already decided now after some inputs from people.
