I need ideas for names, thanks! I have no creativity when it comes to that, like I named a villain "Demon," so…

Look back at mythology and folk legends, it changed your perception of all your characters and gives you some name ideas too

Finn Balor
translates to demon king or demon slayer

Baby names sites are always helpful. I always check what the name means first, however, as it could conflict the character and their development .

I never thought of that before, thanks!

Walk Through graveyards, write down any interesting names that you see.

Woah, have you ever tried that?

You can think of meaningful words and translate them into some languages like latin. It'll usually be nice.

I like to use websites like https://nameberry.com/
And https://www.fantasynamegenerators.com/
Or, i'll think of like the characters main… idk, flaw or something and i'll base their name off of that.
For example, one of my characters is very sweet, kind, innocent, delicate, small, and emotional. So her name is Lilly, like the flower.
Another is Grant. His mother had always wanted a child and had a hard time of getting pregnant, so when he was born she named him Grant because he 'granted' her wish of having a child lol. Kinda cheesy I know.
so maybe if your character has idk some type of magical power, like fire powers, you could name them something that means 'fire' or 'flame' or 'blaze' or something.
