How to use

How to Use This List

  • You could contrast grounded names like Max, Brock, or Fred with more stylized choices like Mira, Adrian, or Talia to signal when a protagonist crosses from Earth into a new setting.
  • Since A (54) and S (47) appear frequently in reincarnation casts, you might vary initials among early supporting characters introduced in your first 15 chapters so readers can tell them apart at a glance.
  • Many web serial authors keep everyday given names near the 6-letter median for smooth dialogue, reserving two-part names—seen in 13% of this sample—for formal introductions or noble houses.
  • You can mix and match popular endings such as -en (27), -ia (21), or -ra (14) with less crowded initials to coin original names instead of reusing recognizable nods like Luffy, Hagrid, or Kushina.
Method

How We Got the Data

Names are drawn from 61 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.
