Who doesn’t love a good romantasy? It’s the new it genre and honestly, I’m not surprised at all, because it’s easily my favorite. Give me all the dragons, brooding MMCs, and enchanted, otherworldly settings.
I thought it would be fun to put together a hefty list of baby names that capture that same magic. Whether you’re naming a little one on the way or searching for the perfect character name for your WIP, novel, or fanfic, I hope you find inspiration here.
This was such a fun post to write!!
📌 Save these romantasy names for later 🤍
