The name should be simmering with arcane potency…
A wise man once said: “A wizard is never late, nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to, and a wizard always has a thematic and arcane name“. I couldn’t agree more. The name of a character is more important than many give it credit for, a good and memorable name can really encapsulate your character.
What constitutes a good wizard name then? My opinion is that the name should feel slightly mysterious and of course have a touch of the arcane. So a name like Waldor Fletcher or Tiana Brooke isn’t really what I’m looking for, because it doesn’t say anything about the character. I much prefer wizard names like: Lysander Dreamweaver and Freya Spellstorm. These names are clearly magic related and carry a certain potent energy. To some they might be a bit “on the nose”, but if your goal is to get immersed in a fantasy world mindset as quickly as possible every other Sunday night when you’ve gathered your friend around the table, dice in hand, then a clear and explicit name is definitely preferable.
