Finding Your Last Hope
In the quiet ruins, a name is a person's last link to the world before. As you generate, ask yourself:
- Is this name a nod to a life before or a new beginning?
- Does it sound like it could belong to a hunter, a healer, or a child?
- Should it have a common, comforting sound or something more unique?
- How does the name reflect the character's journey through a broken world?
- What backstory does a name like "Felicity Clayton" suggest?
