Need a Name Thread

I've been having trouble with this fic that I'm planning, the fic is based on an idea that I've had for years now, but this is the first time I've actually decided on persuing it. The thing is that while I originally had the main character's name planned out I've been having second thoughts. The character is a take on characters with multiple personalities, he has two personalities, the basic good one and bad one personality. I wanted both of their personalities to have their own names though I wanted the names to be similar to each other in a way.

If I get far enough, it'll begin to be clear why I didn't choose these titles. :P

The thing is, I want to avoid something "dark" and edgy, because honestly that's not what the franchise is about (Are you listening, JJ Abrams?). I'll be dealing with that kinda tone a bit, much like DS9 did, but I still want to aim for something lighthearted as well. Choosing "Purity" as the ship's name pretty much barred me from using the usual Trek naming conventions, and anything else tends to sound silly. But I admit that I haven't tried everything.

Hmm interesting! I look forward to finding out myself then. It sounds like a really interesting idea you have, and so I'm interested to see here you'll go with the naming and also the reasons why you didn't go for anything with Purity as well lol :P

(And hopefully Abrams felt his ears burn lol)

Did you want them to rhyme? Like Red and Ted?

Or we're you looking to go a bit deeper than that?

You could have a normal name for the good personality, and then just have an edgy name for the bad one like: Dred, Shake, Dagger, Spike, Crank, etc.

Yes, I wanted to try and get names that rhymed with each other when compared. Though you're idea is also pretty cool.

Smeagol and Deagol? XD

Umm... Rob and Bob? Nick and Dick? (Okay maybe not lol)

I actually like the "edgy" name idea Akari came up with.

Originally their names were Max and Zax but I decided that the names might've been too simple xD

I think you could pull it off, but the rhyming name thing might be too cliche for a story about multiple personalities, no? Either way, Im sure it will be awesome.

Thanks!

I'll call the base truck the "Turtwig" heavy cargo truck, the modified version the "Grotle" off road cargo truck, the military version will be known as the "M1512 Torterra IFV".

If the personalities are opposites of one another, or at least very different, why not have a name that is another name spelt backwards? Like Kim and Mick. Can't think of any good such names though.

I'm looking for a name for a Wobbuffet that is a main antagonist and can control others' minds with Shadow Tag.

Mesmero? Trance? Manacle?

Hmm.

Thrall
Spellbinder
Mindwarp

Mindjack, maybe? I really tried to think of other possible names, but I couldn't unfortunately, so sorry if this isn't what you're looking for.

I myself need a name for a Squirtle wearing a firefighter helmet. I'm looking for something related to firefighters, but I can't think of something, I'm afraid.

Douse? Quench? Sluice? Not really related to firefighters in particular, but it is related to 'putting things out with water.'

Also, Hydrant.
