Now, you've got everything for your demi god down so far, from their godly parent and their camp right down to their weapons and background
So all that's left, is to name your demigod

With Demi god names, it's more or less best to keep it simple, since almost all demigods spend the majority of their time with their mortal parents, hence, it's most likely a mortal given name, such examples being Annabeth Chase and Hazel Levesque, but just because you can't give your demigod a name like Bellerophon or Eurynome doesn't mean you can't get creative and exotic name wise.

Also, please keep in mind, these are just some Name ideas for those who struggle with naming their characters, believe me, I've been there
So just because I've provided a list of names doesn't mean you should stick to it
You can name your demigod whatever you want
And if anything on the list doesn't catch your eye
No worries, I will provide some sources below that you could browse to get some ideas

This is just a list of names for those who struggle with naming their characters and a few pointers here and there for those working with different ethncities since cultures have different naming systems than others.

Now that we've got that out of the way
