Good name for an androgynous character?

[Mystic Muse]

I have a character I'm very likely to be using next Saturday, and even if I don't use them then, I'm sure to use them at some point. I was wondering if there were any names that keep the other players guessing. The character tends to like messing with people's heads, so I figured they'd adopt a name that doesn't indicate anything one way or the other. They pretty much look like This, and their voice doesn't give any indication one way or the other either.

I guess I could always go with "Pat" but that doesn't really work too well for me.

Try typing gender ambiguous names into google, I made a character a few weeks ago and I found a rather large list of names eventually choosing Trinidad

[Halae]

I once had a rogue named Justice. Half-elf, and thus adrogynous enough that the party thought she was a guy until a big reveal at level 5

that said, Justice is good for both genders and has the added bonus of letting you go "You're standing in the way of JUSTICE!"

Unfortunately, that name doesn't work with this character. Here are some good names I found though.

Misha
Zhenya
Nicola
Luca

[Jarian]

Misha
Zhenya
Nicola
Luca

The first three sound decidedly female to me, while the last is, as far as I know, a male name. For what it's worth.

Best I could find on a site I trust. Anybody know any good sites? I'd look myself, but one time with something unrelated, the third result on google gave me a virus.

[Biffoniacus_Furiou]

I'd name the character If.

Considering they look like some kind of uberevil Dark Lord emperors, I'd go with some kind of name that sounds half-demonics to take the emphasis off their gender and on the fact that they're dark lords.

[Temotei]

Our own PersonMan is playing an androgynous human named Kolaris.

Really, you could probably just find a bunch of elven names to use. They're usually fairly fancy and fitting for this kind of thing.

Pat





HGY FTHYYYYYYYYYYYFT

Well, they're not quite a dark lord.

That doesn't happen until at least level 21 when they become an Arch-Lich (4E)

Although, they might qualify as evil. They threaten to kill anybody who looks in their bag. They only went through with it once though, and the guy was trying to steal everything and leave the character for dead.

Yes, this is a background element. No, this did not happen in the campaign with any PCs or NPCs.

[Mastikator]

They may not be dark lords but both of those look like Emperor Palpatine on steroids. Maybe Darth Ominous is an appropriate name

Well, I know the name "Zernobog" means "Black god" in some language, and Tieflings are usually named after concepts so I could go for "Anathema"

At least one of the players have read OOTS.

[Saint GoH]

Some modern names include Christian (see here and here for reference) Devin (here and... actually thats spelled Devon and she's a naughty actress.) Jordan (here and here) and Addison (this one's a touch tougher).

[Sinfonian]

If you never have to write it down, Aaron/Erin would work. Conversely, if it were to only be written for some reason, Jean fits.

Lindsay also works, regardless of written or spoken.

[Dust]

Ink. That is all.

[CodeRed]

Jean. Gene. Really any derivation thereof easily fits for either a male or female name without being too terrible masculine or feminine.

[Flickerdart]

Bob.

[BobVosh]

Bob.

Sup Flicker? >.>

[Flickerdart]

Sup Flicker? >.>

No, no. Bob is short for Kate.

[Zaq]

Drawing from contemporary names (i.e., people I've personally met), there's Chris, Alex, Joe/Jo, Robbie, Andy, Aaron/Erin, Don/Dawn (I pronounce these two differently, but depending on where you're from, you might not), Danny/Dani, Gene/Jean, AJ, Jesse/Jessie, and so on. If you don't sweat spelling, there's a lot of possibilities.

[Hida Reju]

Best way I found to do that is follow the idea of the person that suggested Justice.

Ideals, jobs, inanimate objects, and adjectives are usually very gender neutral.

[JeminiZero]

I was gonna suggest Schrodinger, but that's more of a surname.

You could try fusing a male and female name together or something. Like Robetty, Da'Veron or Sofreddy.

[Yora]

Some modern names include Christian (see here and here for reference) Devin (here and... actually thats spelled Devon and she's a naughty actress.) Jordan (here and here) and Addison (this one's a touch tougher).

Americans not caring if girls have boys names is not the same as gender ambigous names.

[jguy]

I am surprised no one has mentioned either Jamie or Alex.

I agree. Nicola is a common female name in the UK.

[FelixG]

Sam

It could be either Samuel or Samantha

[kladams707]

As well as Drew and Leslie.

However...

What about: Ashley. It's a gender ambiguous name. And you could always shorten it to Ash.

I actually know a male Nicola.
