Tips for Better Names
- Many fae are known by a title rather than a name — "The Hawthorn Knight", "The Lady of Unlit Doors". Use that; it is the most distinctive option the style offers.
- Plant names with thorns or poison ("Hawthorn", "Foxglove", "Blackthorn") read as fae far faster than invented syllables.
- A bargain word in the name ("Twice-Promised", "Bargain-Bound") sets up the fae relationship with deals before anyone speaks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do fae hide their true names?
In most folklore traditions a true name grants leverage over its owner, which is why fae characters prefer titles and courtesies. Giving your fae both a title and a hidden name is good structure.
Are fae names the same as fairy names?
They are different registers of the same idea. Fairy names here are small and whimsical; fae names are courtly and dangerous. Pick whichever tone your story needs.
