[Opinions] Name Ideas for a Female Character, Personality Below (Science Fiction)
I need name ideas for a female character, for a science fiction thing, the character is humanScience fiction with aliens and planets but humans have normal names.Personality:She is brave, intelligent and is very loyal to her team; sees them all as family. She gets angry sometimes, her getting angry is rare. Her anger level is usually 4, it’s very rare for her anger level to be higher than that. Often focuses so hard on whatever she is working on that she loses track of time and doesn’t realize it until it's like three in the morning. Sometimes has to be reminded by her husband to come to bed, she has fallen asleep at her workstation on the ship before.She is an introvert and is wary of others and things.

An older name might fit your character well(more like 1000 years old than 100).

Avoid fashionable names. Use the popularity charts on this site. A name like Ashleigh or Sandra will immediately date your character, and however brave and intelligent etc she may be, your readers will instinctively dress her in 1990s clothes (Ashleigh) or 1940s clothes (Sandra). Try for a name that has either never left the top 100 or has never arrived there.
