Choose a name you will use
A character name, a mascot name and an affectionate nickname serve different purposes. Pick the use first, then compare the sound.
Try the name in a simple introduction: “This is Aurora.” Then try the shortest form you would naturally use. Compare it with Snowball before adding more candidates. If you are naming several companions or characters, keep their names distinct rather than making every name rhyme.
Names are suggestions, not origin claims. For a specific language meaning or published character reference, check the original source before relying on it.
