[Games] Mythological Fantastical NTNB; 1st round
I'm feeling rather down-in-the-dumps, so I thought I'd make a silly game to cheer myself up. This NTNB will probably be multi-gen, but you can take part in whatever rounds you want to - jump in whenever you like, and you don't have to take part each round either. It's meant to be fun! Anyway, this is a fantastical NTNB - the family in question is like something out of the Addams Family, or the Munsters, or any parody thereof... or Ray Bradbury's ghostly family (if you've read any of his stuff), or just the average cheesy paranormal family. It's set in a world where a ghost and a vampire could have a baby, and he could totally turn out to be a werewolf. That kind of silly fantasy-style family... and it's up to you to come up for good names for them.
Each round I'll add new members and maybe change the details of some existing members of the family you name - people can die, become vampires, get divorced, adopt, have kids, not have kids... The 'rules' for each name will be a variety of 'naming rules'/'naming inspiration' and initials, probably. Feel free to be as wacky, silly, wild, GP-ish and insane with names as you like!
This is my first NTNB, so I hope you enjoy it!
Right'o, here we go...
LN:
DH: (28)
DW: (27)
DH is a warlock. His first name should come from Ancient Latin, Greek, or another ancient language, and be very flamboyant, with a faintly silly, snappy or fun nickname. His first middle name is a timeless classic. His second middle name is silly sounding or embarrassing, if only the kind of name that might attract school-yard teasing. His surname is pun-y and/or morbid, and fitting for a paranormal family. It does not have to be an existing surname. In fact, you're encouraged to make it up!
DW is a dryad. Her first name is the name of a tree, plant or flower, and her maiden name is a English noun, not commonly found as a surname (e.g, Chair. Not that that's a good example). Bonus points if it has something to do with nature, plants, trees and so on. Her middle name is either - a) very obscure Greek or Ancient Greek or b) very trendy in the 70s or 80s and now seen as dated, in a good or negative way.
