Separating Hero and Villain Fantasy Male Names

yafoxev
Hi everyone,

I’m working on a story where naming plays a big role, especially when separating heroes and villains using fantasy male names. Certain fantasy male names feel noble and trustworthy, while others sound intimidating right away.

Do you intentionally design fantasy male names to reflect morality or personality traits? I’m curious if readers subconsciously judge characters based on fantasy male names alone. How much symbolism do you build into fantasy male names? I’d love to hear different perspectives on using fantasy male names as storytelling tools.
