Help me pick a name!

I'm trying to decide which one of these names I should use for a character. I've been trying to decide for like a week now. Help! I'll be glad to answer any questions about him.

Mmmm..I like Aeron. I think you could definitely use Autumn as a girl's name in the future, though. Erich is pretty cool, but I like Aeron the best! ^_^

Um, for a guy, Aeron, Silven or Erich. The other names are more feminine.

:D You found names! Hmm...I REALLY like the name Sylvan/Silven, but I would picture someone with that name having light colored hair and eyes, and if I remember correctly, you said he had red hair and eyes. Autumn is normally associated with girls name...but I think it would be rather fitting for what I know about your character. Besides, the Japanese switch back and forth girls names n_n I'm voting for Autumn! Be different and pretty!

Yeah, I suppose a short description would help...

He's a very happy, cheerful, colorful character. He's an artist and is very outgoing. His older brother's name is Glade. He's about 20 years old, burgundy hair, crimson eyes, average height.

I'd probably say Eriel, just because I like it, but it sounds a bit like a girl's name.

Autumn sounds like a girl's name to me. To me, Aeron sounds like an ariel name, I.E. has to do with flying. But name the dude what you like. None of them are really awful names. :D

Ooops.... the character's a guy? you should have mentioned that in the your first post. I voted Eriel because it sounds the most original. but Aeron would have been my second pick.

Aeron... because that's close to my name and I'm a happy artist too! ^__^

Artists seem to have a reputation for being depressed and moody, so we need more happy and cheerful ones.

Arich/Erich best fits the character I think, although I was tempted to go with Aeron since it's only one letter different from my own real name. :)

Aeron! It fits perfectly with the description. It also sounds good with Glade. ^^

I vote Silven.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

I picked Autumn...because I thought it would be interesting and different. The brothers name added to the idea as well. I think the name *could* go either direction... see the name Ashley for reference, its now both a guys and girls name.

Have fun coming up with charachters Shihi!

I would go with Autumn, I think it's a lively name that sounds cool.

So what's your character for?

I vote for Aeron because it reminds me of Farscape one of the best original
series ever aired on Sci Fi Channel. :thumb:

Autumn reminds me too much of Hippies.

I really like Aeron for a guy. It makes for little assumption, like sylvan/silven. some may assume that that name would refer to a forest life.

Except that it sounds a lot like 2 final fantasy charachters (Auron from 10 and Aeris from 7)
