We named our DC from characters or places from fandoms, books, movies etc that we liked. The names are quite unusual but not unheard of but probably quite outing if I added them here.

Wondering if anyone can give some suggestions for the name of our next DC (gender unknown) based on our likes...

  • Doctor Who
  • Rock/Punk music/bands
  • Lord of the rings
  • Harry Potter
  • Disney/Pixar
  • DC and marvel
  • Astrology
  • Jurassic Park and 80s classic films like breakfast club etc

Basically we just need a starting point as currently at a total loss!

I actually think Gemini would make a nice name for a girl

I once knew of a Galadriel

Walt maybe an obvious choice for linking to Disney

If you were thinking of going with a Dumbledore-inspired name, may I suggest Albus Percival Wulfric Brian? 😁

Lord of the Rings: Merry, Elanor

Astronomy: Orion, Ceres
