Basically any fantasy name ever, but these stand out:

America Singer
Carter Woodwork
Maxon Schreave
Tiny Lee
Celeste Newsome

Any name that would be a 'normal' name but is spelled weird/with a y instead of an i

@Althalosian-is-the-father May 13, 2019

Heartfilia? Who is that?

YES

Deleted user May 13, 2019

'Dystopian' names.

@The-N-U-T-Cracker May 13, 2019

Heartfilia? Who is that?

A character from Fairy Tail, an anime I watched like three years ago…

I barely remember anything about it now, except for how bad the character's names were.

'Dystopian' names.

Yeah, they work in some books but in others…..big yikes

Deleted user May 13, 2019

It's sooooo much better when a character has a meaningful name. It's like a little easter egg for readers to get into.

@Althalosian-is-the-father May 13, 2019

~~Enyo~~

Pardon? Were you implying that my bb has a bad name????

@Althalosian-is-the-father May 13, 2019

I'm saying it's like that. That cool meaning thing.

@Althalosian-is-the-father May 13, 2019

~~Oh crap I didn't mean it in a negative way.~~

Deleted user May 13, 2019

OH! Thank goodness. You got me stressin.

@Althalosian-is-the-father May 13, 2019

Less than a second apart.

@The-N-U-T-Cracker May 13, 2019

Dear humans, shoving one or two character traits together into one word does not count as a meaningful surname.

This has been a PSA-

IT'S TRUE AND YOU SHOULD SAY IT!

@The-N-U-T-Cracker May 13, 2019

EXACTLY

Deleted user May 13, 2019

Although, I am totally down with D&D/WOW type titles.

Example:

Eris, the World Destroyer.
Dom, the Wolfhearted
Jyn, the Night Beast

etc.

@Althalosian-is-the-father May 13, 2019

Aww. I'm wolfhearted!

@The-N-U-T-Cracker May 13, 2019

~~Would that make me actually “NutElla The Ultimately Superior”?~~

Deleted user May 13, 2019

@The-N-U-T-Cracker May 13, 2019

Actually yes because I say so.

Yep.

That’s how it works, because I’m superior.

Shy girls that hide behind their long hair. It was fun at first but now it's everywhere and is an uncreative way to show a character's shy. I wouldn't mind if the author actually had other stuff to show they're shy but I haven't seen a lot that do

AbbyAlways May 14, 2019

If I walked around with hair in my face all over the place that's just inconvenient, not "awww shy and cute."

@Althalosian-is-the-father May 14, 2019

Lol yes. And I'm sure if you had lipgloss or something it would be a disaster.

Deleted user May 14, 2019

I have yet to come across a male author that can properly write a female character.

@Althalosian-is-the-father May 14, 2019

Tell me how they fail so I may learn I beg you.

Deleted user May 14, 2019

Off the top of my head:

They usually make them overly and ridiculously, flamboyantly gorgeous.
Overly emotional, or crazy emotional because they are women (or the exact opposite because they can't write anything but cardboard)
Stereotypical thoughts and actions
Any 'strong' female ends up passed over for a male hero and subsequently saved by him.

@Althalosian-is-the-father May 14, 2019

Well that's obvious stuff. Have these men only seen women through a telescope?
