The Elements of Druidism · 10:35pm Nov 23rd, 2020

So, I have a group of OCs that live in a far off land separate from Equestria far after the events of canon (about 100 years, I dunno I'm gonna have some fun with deciding that). I thought I would share here what they are:

  • Fancy Mark: Earth Pony Male- Element of Creation
  • Dirt Patch; Earth Pony Male- Element of Life
  • Sapphire Flower: Pegasus Female- Element of Time
  • Evergreen: Unicorn Male- Element of Perception
  • Dark Hooves: Changeling Female- Element of Fate
  • Cimmerian: Umbra Male- Element of Space

These are all up for debate on quality, but some things I would like some help on is Sapphire Flower's, Dark Hooves's, and Cimmerian's names. I feel like it could be better, but I don't know how to make it better. Any and all assistance is appreciated.

What are their personalities like? If you're trying to come up with a fitting name it's usually better to start there. In real life people's names don't exactly correlate with their personality, but this is fiction! Accountants named Gigachad don't exist in fiction! Unless they're super buff protagonist type accountants.

If you just want some ideas based on their elements though, I have a couple suggestions:

Sapphire Flower: Pegasus Female- Element of Time
Something sight/prophecy related works really well for anything time related. Maybe something like Looking Glass, or maybe something astrology related, like Aquarius.

Dark Hooves: Changeling Female- Element of Fate
Changelings always have weird names. They don't always have to be named after something insectoid, but their names should sound decidedly removed from the dominant culture. Going for a foreign phrasing might help, with a French name like C'est la Vie, or Latin, like Ex Gratia. There are plenty of cool ones to pick from if you like the idea.

Cimmerian: Umbra Male- Element of Space
I don't have a ton of insight here, but a cool idea might be to borrow from classic astronomers for the element of space. Galileo, Copernicus, Ptolemy, Kepler and Brahe all have a good association with the cosmos, so a variation on their names could have that same feel.
