Name Meanings - Tumblr Posts
Hang on, let me just info dump to the void the meaning behind all my ocs names because why not?
Mia: She was my first OC and was also a self insert of me. As I got older and developed her into more of her own character, I changed her name. It’s still very similar to my name (I took out a few letters and then rearranged the remaining), but now she’s her own distinct person!
Cryvean: this is a name I made up. It was originally gonna be spelt, Crivean, but I changed the I to a Y to be weird. I specifically wanted their nickname to be Cry or Cryve though.
Nythe: another name I made up. I just like it and it’s pronounced like Nith.
Valan: I like it cause it sounds like “Talon” which fits with this OC being bird themed. I also like it because the first answer on google for what this name means is “resourceful, strong, and valiant” which I also really like considering this OC is also a vigilante!
Loralai: My dead ghost child of an OC. Her name comes from an old tale about a siren named Loralai who would sing near some cliff face and make people fall to their deaths, which is sick as fuck honestly. She was also made to be an ancestor to The Addams Family, so I think the siren name fits that general vibe.
Renna: the name means “rebirth” which I think fits for a Death God who just won’t die.
Cleome: if you look this word up, you’ll find that it’s the scientific name for the Spider Lily flower. This works because Cleome is part spider, for funsies.
Rosary: OK, there are layers to this one. 1. Rosary as a thing is a necklace worn by Catholics which they use to show devotion to God (this is the first thing that comes up on google, don’t come at me if it’s wrong please). This is fun because Rosary is a Life God and as a character is very devoted to her family. 2. Rosary has Rosa or basically Rose in the name, which is fun because I just think Roses are pretty, probably the first flower you think of, and have thorns, which fits the character. 3. I got the idea for this name from the Rosary Pea plant, which was apparently used to make Rosary in some part of the world or something. BUT ALSO the plant is apparently poisonous!! It’s a dangerous plant which fits her later in her life when she goes on her villain arc!
Orion Clayn: This OC is kinda edgy. They’re just a faceless school boy with only one eye. The only reason they’re named anything in the first place is because their initials become OC and their last name sounds like “claim”. Kinda me making a joke of “this is my OC do not steal or Claim” or something like that . Just me making a shitty joke really.
Aubrey, Charlie, Lily Kayla, Sylvia, Quin, Elian, and Remi all have basically meaningless names. I chose them because I liked the sound of them.
I love when people's ocs names have a meaning that fits the character
Like yes it's so FUCKING GOOD
Fun fact - the name Lola means sorrows, I like this because Lola in the copacabana song is depicted as having a terrifying event happen which led to her sorrows :)
UPDATE!! He has an official name now!!! :D
I was looking at the wikipedia page for the Goliath stick insect for inspiration, and I scrolled down to the many different scientific names it's been given by different people throughout the years. One word that popped up in three of the names was "Acheron", which is the name of a river in classical mythology. The word itself means both -death- and -hell-
I wasn't completely sold on this word as his name for that reason, since the meanings don't exactly suit his character, but I wanted to include it somehow to tie his name to the actual insect!
So, I decided to combine the word 'Acheron' with my own name, 'Robynn', which gave me 'Acherynn' ^-^
I think this name has a much softer feeling to it, which suits him much better! And as a bonus, it's really easy for me to remember since it was easy to come up with :]
He no longer has to go by strictly 'bug boy' bahahahaha
Alright, that's my rant over lmao
Stickbug (and Acherynn!!) out 🪲
He's finished!
Or well, his base concept bahahaha
And as promised, I'm also including his colour palette! The shadow colours aren't set in stone of course, that 100% depends on the style and lighting one chooses to use - should they want to doodle my bug boy -, but I wanted to include them because - why not? -
Nothing is set in stone tbh, if you wanna up the saturation, darken/lighten some colours, change a hue or two to make him fit your style a little better, you're more than welcome to do so ^-^
I haven't worked out a name for him just yet, but I tend to call him "Stick", "Bug", or "Bug boy", so I guess those are his nicknames so far! ^-^
And just to be clear, there are no set pronouns for this buggy dude! I tend to use he/him because it comes naturally to me, but this character is in fact genderfluid, with a majority of the time spent more on either the agender or masculine side of the spectrum
He basically shares my gender identity (and my eye colour, a fun little detail), which makes sense since he is my persona after all bahahaha
His height, which I now realise I should have included in one of the pictures :'], is 7'8". Yes, this is very tall. Yes, he is based on an absolutely massive insect lmao
Clothes are honestly up to whoever is doodling him, I drew him without them here since I wanted to clearly display his build (and he technically doesn't need to wear any clothes unless he's cold, since there isn't really anything to cover up lmao)
All of that said, I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day! 🧡
Yours truly, Stickbug 🪲
(and Stickbug's bug boy)
All of the names I choose for my characters fit in one of three categories:
-Names chosen for the meaning (Nathaniel and Solana. Nathaniel means gift of god, because of his angel motif, and Solana means sun, because sun motif)
-Names chosen for the themes or vibes (Ariel and Kunio. Ariel is a moon of Uranus, and Uranus is the father of the titans, befitting Ariel’s moon motif and her titan powers. Kunio was named for Kunio Yanagita, folklorist and author of the Tōno Monogatari, befitting Kunio’s love of folklore and fairytales)
-Names chosen just because I happen to like them (Tama and Layla LMAO)
yes, kenneth is most very handsome.

I see those name meanings pop up on FB and they are never correct. We need to band together and make some kind of satire of that.

I’m not entirely sure as to how accurate these are. After all, they’re first page bing searches. Feel free to correct me in the comments!
