Anyone else ever get that feeling???

Can I join the mernaming? I have no idea what to do about names. I want it to be close to Iva, which is my real name, but sound a bit more aquatic if that makes any sense.

Hehe I guess chosing a name that's just right is hard

I like to look through RPing books and look up the suggested names for elves! Those are often very pretty and exotic sounding

I've searched for several hours at a time online for the right name, haha. I have a very picky friend who's good at nitpicking a name and figuring out what the pros and cons are to each so she's great to have around. I think I've almost got my name, though. Zyla.

I think Zyla is a great name! Picking a name wasn't hard for me. I go by the name Revontuletar in most places anyway. It means "daughter of the Northern lights" in Finnish. 'Revontulet' = Northern lights + the suffix -tar, meaning 'daughter' or 'female spirit/deity.' I coined that name for myself because of my fascination with the Northern Lights. Aino is a character from the Finnish national epic Kalevala, who drowned herself and turned into a Nix. I am basing my mermaid persona off her. The name Aino means "only" so if you put my name together it literally translates to "Only daughter of the northern lights." it seemed to be the perfect name for me

It took me a while to find my mermaid name but once i did it just kind of clicked! I was flipping through the pages of a book i read a while ago and i just fell in love with the name isis!

Isis is an interesting name for a mermaid. Is yours an Egyptian mermaid? That's awesome

@Nerenia Hmm... Its nice but.. I got to admit im a little umm... i dont know.. about the name..its too similar to mine. :/

Agh yeah, it can get confusing when there are mers with similar names. I hope mine isn't too similar to anyone else's. I think I'm pretty safe, I haven't seen any other Ainos on here :D

I choose Gem Stone because I like the name Gem but the name I would go into for a professional is different. more mermaidy. its Ulla, which means (if im not mistaken) comes from the sea or something like that.
