Thread: Can someone please help me name a created character?

  1. #1

    Default Can someone please help me name a created character?

    I'm creating a story based on the 2004 tsunami disaster. I need to figure out the name of my main character. She is a teenage girl whose first name is Rayanna, derived from the Indonesian word raya, which means "Great". I need to know what the words "wave" and "heart" are in Indonesian. I've looked on the internet and I can't find an online dictionary. Can somebody look it up for me and give the words to me, please? Thank you.
    Is that your final answer?

    Is it really needed? That would be like someone with their first name StrongArm etc. No, find the more tradition Indonesian names - Wayan, Made, Nyoman, Ketut/Gede.

    No, I need the name to reflect the disaster. Here's another example:

    Katrina Windheart

    Katrina = Hurricane Katrina
    Wind = Wind Power
    Heart = she has a pure heart

    I need the exact same thing for my tsunami story.
    Is that your final answer?

    Wave = alun, riak...there's a ton. Actually I'm just giving you the Bahasa Melayu version but it's pretty damn close to the Bahasa Indonesia thing (most of it's the same)

    Heart = Hati.
    This subliminal message could be meant for YOU. But it's probably not. Move along ;D
