Fanfic Character Naming Help

[Kaboom]

I need some creative help. I'm designing a character for an upcoming part of my fanfic, and I can't think of a good name.

I'm not gonna go into much detail for plot purposes, but the character is a charming and strong young alien prince. The name should be a food-based pun, obviously.

"Regano" (From "oregano," the herb) was the best I came up with, but I'm thinking there's another specific later character I'd want to save that for.

Give me a few ideas, and I'll do a character sketch or something as a thank-you.

[Prince Vegeta]

Hmm,you've changed you're avatar,I got used to the old one.
Now to help you with you're problem,what about:
-Vegeta
-Barbec(Barbecue sauce)
-Inegar(Vinegar)
-Tabasc(Tabasco sauce)
-Cauli(Cauliflower)
-Cado(Avocado)
That's all for now,hope I could help you.

[caejones]

Meh, I came up with a list of vege-based ones a while back and don't remember any really other than Kabaji...
But food in general...

Suraashi (Oh come on... Slushy? Anybody? Ok... .)
putenra
*whips out japanese notecards*
Udobu
Horensou... Ok, not creative, but I like the soune of it. Souren? Sourenho?
Okinko?... that bad.
Shimmamuru (Weird annigram of Mushroom...).
Kaisu? ... No. Umm... Sukai? No! Dangit...
Arufureido. Ur... Fuaru-- That's hard to say. "Fwal"? O.O.
I didn't realize how small my food section of notes was.
Damblin (Dumpling... Feel free to move around syllables if it sounds cooler.).
Deiyake (I tried to japanisize Quesadilla and turn it around and it got too long...).
Wappa (Hold the Mayo...).
Guriru... ouch. Riguru? Rigul... Ouch.
Fuwaru ... Hard to say. . Why am I coming up with things that are hard to say?
Mafin... Umm... Fuiman... Or something. From Muffin. Or we can say Funima and call it the Funi Demon.
Eggplant! Umm... Eggopuranto... Goee torampu? (The Goei Tramp!).
... This is going too slowly, so I should go ahead and post.

[Bardock the Mexican]

How about some Mexican food with Japanese pronunciation for the feel of originality Somthing like:
Chiri (chili)
Tako (taco)
Puruke (pulque-an alcoholic beverage)
Sanguria(sangría)
enchirada (Enchilada)

[Kaboom]

Tako (taco)

Hee, hee, I like that one. Not the "regal," chivalrous kind of name I'm looking for, but I'll probably end up using "Tako" for someone else later.

At this rate, I think I'll probably end up going with "Regano" for the prince, and I'll keep these lists in mind for future naming opportunities.

[desirecampbell]

I'm thinking something Italian. How about some kind of Italian cheese? I think "Bagos", "Macagn", "Nerino", or "Nisso".

[Kaboom]

That's interesting. Lotta material out there...

...and thanks to whichever admin-zombie renamed the thread.

[Black Mist]

Grouda (Gouda)
Brude (bread)
Black Mist (Me)!

[KinoFourpaws]

Hmm... seeing the name you were thinking of using automatically made me think of something along the lines of Ginko Biloba or Gotu Kola. xD;

But, considering you were thinking of using a pun off of something like "oregano", I'm guessing you're looking for something more along the lines of food seasonings. Let's see what I can come up with...

*ravages through the kitchen cabinets*

Okay. I've listed what I've found alphabetically so you don't get too lost. Brace yourself... this is gonna get messy. (As is usual when I'm messing around with letters and sounds.)

Note that some of these might also serve as possible surnames, if you so wish to use any in the fic. You might want to read these aloud as well (in some cases more for personal amusement than anything else).

--Wasabi -- Wesaube, Sawabi, Ibsawa/Ibwasa/Ibawsa, Basiwa/Bawsia/Bawasi

... I personally like the sounds of Valerian/Revalian, Coriander, Caraway, Orincalt, and Terrigon. :B Wh00t, long list. o.o

I know a lot of "words" on this huge list are probably absolutely useless, but I hope that it's helped some anyway (maybe for more than just one character, even).

I think this is one of my favorite ways of wasting time. :3

[Shadow_Rose]

Horensou... Ok, not creative, but I like the soune of it. Souren? Sourenho?

Dude, I've actually got a fan character named Soreno.... Coincidence much?

[Xyex]

Uhhhh, necropost much? This topic is 5 months dead.

[Kaboom]

Uhhhh, necropost much? This topic is 5 months dead.

Yes, and I still have yet to get to Prince Regano's chunk of the fanfic... >_<;;


Well, actually, I, at least, don't mind. I meant to save this thread anyway, since I'll have need of it soon.
