[Herondalegirl]

i'm writing a book about a girl who was practically created by the moon. She can do strange things with water and has a birthmark disease where a mark appears on two people's wrists and they have to find each other to marry and populate the next generation. Because they live for centuries, they encounter problems unlike anyone else. But the boy will be the power of the sun and needs a firey name, but I can't think of anything! HELP!!

I'm assuming you've found a name for the girl? If not, Luna would be perfect (although perhaps a bit cliche, but no matter). 

 

As for fire-related boy names...

 

Phoenix (a mythological bird that burns to death then is reborn from its own ashes)

Ash

Flint (I really like this one, it's a material used to start fires)

Blaze

Arson (it's the word for setting fire to things illegally)

Ember (a small flame/sparks)

Cole (a play on the word "coal")

 

Good luck naming your characters! (I'll need help with naming my own soon)

For boys-- I'm thinking 

 

Finn/ Fintan

Irish name that some say means “white fire” and may be an intriguing way to get to finn.

 

Red- Just because its is awesome and sounds very fire like.

Aidan/Aiden- Means Little fire.

Sirius- Burning

Egan- Little Fire

Kai- Fire

Blaise-

Although this ancient martyr’s name means “one who stutters,” its relationship to Blaze makes it feel fiery.

 

Brent and Brenton —

 'Bren' means burnt land, so these two surname/place names relate tangentially to fire and have a smoke-tinged feel.

 

Hugh –

Although Hugh's meaning is technically “intelligence, spirit,” from the German the name can also be a modern form of the ancient Gaelic Aodh whose pronunciation is even breathier than Hugh's.

 

Ignatius

Saints’ name related to the Latin word for fire, most recently chosen by actress Cate Blanchett for her third son.

 

Inigo –

Basque form of Ignatius pronounced IN-ih-go, most famous as name of classic British architect inigo jones

 

 Keahi– Hawaiian boys’ name meaning flames.

 

Keeegan –

Another Irish surname than can mean son of Egan, which is derived from Aodh meaning fire.

 

Kenneth–

Scottish name that means “born of fire.”  A bit overexposed a generation ago, but still strong and handsome.

 

Pele –

The Hawaiian goddess of fire…. and a fiery soccer player.

 

Phoenix –

Name for girls or boys of the mythic bird that rose from the ashes.

Reese and Rhys –

A former surname rapidly gaining in popularity as a first, thanks to Ms. Witherspoon.  Means “fiery” in the personality sense.

Vulcan –

Name of the roman god of fire, with strong Star Trek overtones.
