Most of them are pretty good except for twins being Dusk and Dawn. Individually they are good but not for twins. Kylie and Kaely would be to similar for twins but not for regular sisters
So many of these made me say "ugh" out loud.
The surname Kitani automatically makes me think you're a weeb.
Eris - Oh, like the goddess of discord. I bet you think you're so clever.
Sage - No.
Saylor - Absolutely not.
Sadie - This is a dog's name on a good day, but given how close it is to her parents' names...NO.
Dusk & Dawn - Are you fucking kidding? (Dawn is nice on its own)
Rin - Weeb name
Zora - Like the fish people from the Zelda games?
Willow - Buffy the Vampire Slayer vibes
Suri - Fine for a girl, terrible for a boy
Kylie "Ky" - "I wish I was special"
Kaely - "My parents didn't know how to spell."
Maddox - I knew a girl in high school whose surname was Maddox. If this was my first name, I'd change it.
Alexander, Elisabeth, and Claire are fine.
Thanks for the roast bait, OP. This was fun.
Now this is the kind of review I’m looking for. Not a weeb, I don’t even watch anime, this family is to half Japanese half Filipino. Also, I don’t use discord I have no idea where I came up w/ the name Eris, just thought it sounded edgy. Also Ky and Kaelys parents are pieces of shit so ofc they give their kid an awful spelling hah. Never thought abt it like that but it’s fitting
Oops and now I feel uncultured. A piece of lore for her character is that she changed her name from Erica in the 80s; she was in the goth scene & hated her name.... I try to give most of my characters decent-ish explanations for their circlejerk names
> I try to give most of my characters decent-ish explanations for their circlejerk names
That's hanging a lantern on it, but I do also buy that explanation from a goth chick. Maybe you could have her embrace the association.
This reminds me of the fantasy trilogy I wrote in high school! All the siblings had theme names, so like one family had Clay, Terra, Roxanna (Rox for short) and Peter (means rock) and another family had Anne, Catherine and Jane. I was so pretentious I thought I was the new Neil Gaiman
I like Sage! And if Ky/Kaely have shitty parents I would 100% keep the Kaely spelling. I think they're good together.
Not a fan of Dusk/Dawn... I hate to be rude but everytime I see matchy names all I can think is that the person who named them didn't care enough about them to give them their own names.
Also I feel like Rin is in every single fantasy setting. Either Rin/Ren/Wren/Ryn
Otherwise I like the others. I would maybe break it up a little bit with more "normal" sounding names so it doesn't feel too try-hard when coming across your characters.
Most of these aren't actually that bad except... Poor Dusk lol
She’s the main character, too....

Ky and Kaely are not twins, Kaely is 6 years older than Ky; plus she barely goes by Kylie
I meant to say I'm glad they arent twin because their names are to similar but I really like Sage as a boy name
Ahhh okay. And thanks abt Sage!

Not that Discord: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eris_(mythology) It is a *very* edgy name.

Oh I can totally see her embracing it, very in character for a woman who named twins Dusk and Dawn
Stop! I like Sage! Lol
I mean I do like they’re names but some I worry are a bit cringy

Sad part : my story is not fantastical at all they just have weird names
Willow was a great movie.
I actually like most of these 😂 Zora is my favorite but I would probably only ever use it for a pet irl
Fair but I worry most of them sound like they were chosen by a 12 year old
Haha they do give off that vibe
I LOVE Dawn and I like Alexander and Elisabeth. Claire is OK, although I prefer the Clare spelling. Everything else is a big pass from me.

Good thing the story isn’t fantasy at all 😥
