Help me decide the name of the Vampire Lord!
 
Some of you may know that I am writing a novel involving vampires. All of the main story lines are complete and I am working out the finer details. One of the things that remains for me, is to give a name to my central antagonist.

In just a couple of weeks I have grown to love the people here. So I've decided to let the members, help me in choosing a fitting name. I haven't finish developing his personality and the choice may impact the final character.


Character Bio:
  • He is male.
  • He is a vampire. Being one he has no problems with killing and death.
  • He is a prince of the most powerful of the vampire houses.
  • He seeks absolute domination.
  • He is very intelligent
  • He is also arrogant, and with good reason. He is very good at the things he does.
  • He is not overly cruel or evil. However, he would not resist destroying any who oppose him. Be they human or vampire.
  • He does reward those loyal to him.
  • His appearance is that of a man in his late thirties, although he is much older. Most would consider him to be handsome.

Naming Rules:
  • I need both given and surnames. The surname will also be the name of his faction.
    (IE: The House of Smith)
  • Names may real or imaginary.
  • Real names may eastern or western in origin.
  • If a real names is suggested, it should not be that of a famous person.
  • Also do not suggest names from films or book. However you may take names combined from from other characters. My heroine's name is derived from two of my favorite anime.
  • Name order may in eastern or western style.
    (IE: Bob Smith or Smith Bob)

New suggestion should be posted in this thread, for all to see.
If you would like to vote for a name please sent me a PM.
I, Odin, will have the final say in the name.
I will let this run for several week before I make a final announcement.


UPDATE: This contest is over. I am accepting no futher suggestions! Click here to jump to the winners.

1½ week marker

Halfway Mark


Its been a week and a half since I first started this ideal of letting JF members pick the name of the nemesis in my novel. I was really hoping for a few more suggestions. I will even place your name in the credits section of the book.

As it stands now Noodle, has my favored suggestion. "Eldred Vortigern"

Although NightChild25 had several ideals that I like as well. So I may use some of them for some secondary characters.

This is not set in stone yet. I am keeping this going for another 1½ weeks.

xindroth 03-15-2008 03:57 PM

2. Geordie Draven

4. Coup Johnson

The End
 
I should have ended this thread some time ago. However, other things in my personal life have keep me very distracted. I am now trying to get my life back on track, and attend to those matters that I have neglected.

My favored choice was an easy one. It was submitted to me very early by Noodle. I will also be using a few of the wonderful suggestions made by NightChilde25 for a few other characters. The names are to good to let them waste. I will be listing Noodle and NightChilde25 in the credits section of the book when it is published. Both of them have been so kind as to reveal their true names to me, so I may give them proper credit.


"Eldred Vortigern" shall be the name of the Lord of the Fifth House of the Rojin Coven


I wish to thank everyone who has participated.
