fictional names
Made-up character labels
Fictional names are names given to invented characters, places, or things in stories, games, and other creative works.
They range from realistic-sounding names that could belong to real people to elaborate coinages meant to evoke alien cultures or fantasy worlds: Frodo, Hogwarts, Westeros.
Writers craft fictional names to suggest personality, origin, or tone—a villain named Draco Malfoy signals something different than one named Bob Smith.
