4 Quick Tips for Naming a Percy Jackson
- Pick the godly parent first. The parent shapes the whole character, so the name can carry a hint, like Lyra for a child of Apollo.
- Keep it modern. Demigods grow up in the mortal world, so a name like Dylan Reyes fits the books better than an ancient Greek name.
- Use the mortal family. The surname comes from the mortal parent, so it can show the family background.
- Skip canon names. Names like Percy, Annabeth, and Nico belong to main characters, so the generator leaves them out.
