How to use

How to Use This List

  • You could use frequent endings like -ia, -an, -na, and -ra as phonetic inspiration, coining original variations that match your setting's linguistic feel.
  • Because initials like A (53), M (42), S (39), and E (33) appear often in the genre, you might give main cast members distinct starting letters to help readers track scenes effortlessly.
  • Many stories contrast longer, melodic names like Seraphina or Elizabeth with brisk names near the 5-letter median such as Jax, Dee, or Bell—an option worth trying when building an ensemble.
  • Since these 240 names belong to published serials, consider studying their syllable counts and letter patterns rather than reusing distinctive character names directly.
Method

How We Got the Data

Names are drawn from 62 books in Royal Road within the Maliang Writer library (captured 2026-10-31/2026-11-09). Recurring proper nouns in the first 15 chapters of each book were classified in context by a model as person, place, or other, verified by script against the source text, and ranked by frequency. In a spot check of 570 entries, 2.1% were nicknames, titles or non-name terms; those were removed, and others may remain. Names belong to their original works and are shown here to illustrate genre naming conventions; avoid reusing distinctive protagonist names directly.
