Hmmm, so do you want the names to sound Japanese? If so, that might be hard to encorporate with Christian meanings. Tell us a little more about your characters and the era/setting...that would help.

arighty,

Name Style:
I actually dont want them to sound Japanese at all, I'm aiming more for the word styles brought up in "Help me make an angelic name", things like nathanel

Character Characteristics:
there are a total of 5 characters in the begining, 2 female, 3 male.

The first male character is basicly the leader of this small group of friends, he's an all around type and is good at just about anything. I'm aiming for a name translateing into "Friend Of God".

The first female character is a healer of sorts, she focuses on restoreing health and sanity in times of chaos. This name is all up in the air, but somethign meaning "healer" or "healer of God" would be smiled upon.

The Second Male Character is a computer/technology lover. he handels technologicaly advanced stuff that would fly over the rest of the groups head and also serves as a source of wisdom in some ways. This one is TOTALLY up in the air, I have NO ideas....

The Second Female Character is a tactician of sorts, she tends to step back for a sec and think things threw. also up in the air.

The Third Male Character is a stealth ninja, he basicly can get behind enemy lines faster then you can blink your eye, and after you've blinked your eye you wont be able to see him. the oldest one of the group, he's somewhat a lone ranger in this group. name would be something along the lines of wisdom "wise of God?" I dont know.....>_<

Setting: the setting is somewhat WAY out their, its a melding of the era of Ninja's and such with above modern day technology......3 main areas....

City

FOG HQ

Peacful Medow outside the FOG HQ, kinda like in its front yard....

I have found that www.babynames.com is quite helpful when trying to find names.

look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!â€

If you want names like "Nathaniel", look up some Hebrew names. They almost always have meanings that have to do with God.

Indeed, that's what I was going to say. If you can find a Bible or concordinanace with a good topical index, it will tell you the meanings of ancient Hebrew names. These may or may not work with your story, but it could give you ideas. A few in my topical index are:

Asahel/Asiel/Elasah: God has made
Conaniah: Yahweh has established
Jedidiah/Dodavahu: beloved of Yahweh
Eliahba: God conceals
Josiah: Yahweh heals
Shelemiah: friend of Yahweh
Taralah: power of God
Zillethai: shadow of God

There are lots more, if you can find a good source.
