I saw like two other people do this and really liked it, so I want to see what people think of my character names. I'll list them and you tell me what you think the characters are based on their names! Please! I wanna see! Jay and Rita are siblings and Adam is Quinn's father. Take it away!

Jasper Jackson
Jay Callaghan
Rita (Reese) Callaghan
Oliver Chapel
Ashanti Warren
Marco Reyes
Rafaela Isabela Garcia
Izak Everhart
Enid Krishna
Adam Lassiter
Quinn Lassiter

(my apologies if I get the genders wrong)

  • Jasper: dark-haired, kinda mischievous, morally gray, no one can really figure him out, blunt and honest, laughs at serious things and topics, all in all way too easy going for his own good.
  • Jay: Rita's twin brother, kind-hearted, always seems to be relaxed and chill, the easiest guy to talk to, like you could sit down to ask him a question and suddenly your telling him your whole life story.
  • Rita: Jay's twin sister, strict and serious, the leader whether people want her to be or not, seems to be a bit bossy, but just feels responsible for her friends' well-being, extremely lawful-good (maybe Jasper's love interest?)
  • Oliver: Wears glasses, reserved and clumsy, terrified of Rita, prefers to keep to himself, seems to trip over his own feet, if made fun of immediately bursts into tears, despite all this he is quite smart.
  • Ashanti: stoic and laconic, the strongest of the group, her aloof attitude makes it appear as if she believes she's better than everyone, but in reality she just doesn't have a sense of humor or social skills and feels awkward.
  • Marco: covered in freckles, doesn't know how to deal with negative emotions so turns everything into a joke, if someone calls his name he immediately answers with "POLO!", likes to dance.
  • Rafaela: second strongest, has temperament issues, most likely a red-head, swears the most out of the group and wears really skimpy clothes because she overheats and doesn't care, always being lectured by Rita.
  • Izak: the gentleman, really buff and scary looking (probably has a tatoo) but calls all women "Ma'am," "Miss," and "Milady," plus respects them completely, all the girls in the group think he's the best.
  • Enid: energetic and talkative, cares a lot for his hair (more than even some of the girls), everyone's right hand man, if you need someone to accomplish a bad idea–you've got your bro.
  • Adam: is a father figure to everyone, if there's a sad child out in the world it's his duty to cheer them up, always busy helping out others, thinks he's the leader but in reality it's really Rita.
  • Quinn: light-haired, always reading somewhere, keeps his feelings to himself, loves his dad but can't help not feeling very special to him because their relationship isn't that much different than Adam's with everybody else.

I can't judge the names of characters without knowing the setting. I'm assuming this takes place on modern day Earth because of some of your descriptions. I'm interested to know why you are listing their relative strength and wonder if this is purely physical strength we're talking about in which case I'd like to know why Izak loses out to Ashanti and Rafaela. Otherwise it seems like there is a rather huge diversity in personality, appearance, and background. What justification is there for this group of close friends existing in the first place? Honestly I don't know enough about them to analyze the choice of names.

@alanye

@ThiaL You actually got some characters pretty close! Some, however, made me laugh because it's so funny imagining my characters as how you described them. Thanks.

@ThiaL

  • You were right about Jasper being dark-haired
  • Jay and Rita ARE twins, how did you guess that ???
  • Ashanti IS the strongest of the group, and I have to say that, she's basically a shorter version of Captain America
  • OF COURSE Marco will answer with "polo!" if someone calls his name. He definitely likes to dance
  • Rafaela could be the second strongest and definitely has a short temper
  • Izak is definitely a gentleman, however, canonically, he is a soft boi. Very cuddly
  • Enid is talkative and she would almost always help one accomplish a mischievous task, no questions asked.

Still, how did u know that Jay and Rita were twins. how

@LilNerdyGingerKitsune

WAIT I WAS RIGHT ABOUT THE TWINS??? REALLY? I literally was like, "hmm they both sound like they could be the older sibling what should I do oh I know I'll say they're twins" I HAD NO IDEA THAT WOULD BE RIGHT OMG. Who would've thought I'd get that many correct wow. We must have similar naming techniques or something.
