Sugar-Tits?

Now let me explain.

I have another idea for a Superman/woman type character who is female and am trying to find a good name for the character.

I brought my issue of not having a solid sounding name to my writing group, mostly males today, and their responses were far more humorous and derogatory than helpful. Now this isn’t to say I didn’t get some decent suggestions but rather what they did suggest didn’t seem to fit the mold I have in my mind.

Comically things turned a little sexist and doing my best I tried to turn them back. I explained that what I was looking for was a character who is basically invulnerable, strong, can fly, and feels an awful lot like superman. I am looking for a simple name and after leaving today’s meeting my short list includes “Harper” and “Eva” and even “Jenga”. Jenga because of a personality trait I provided to them, but I don’t think I am going to go with that as that part of her came way after developing her powers and persona. You know, kinda after the fact.

Some of the suggestions went further south than “Sugar-Tits”, but I don’t feel like repeating them. A few voices even went so far as to suggest that she have a “feminist” name and that she only beat up men.

Admission of this male’s piggy brain: I laughed, it was kind of like watching somebody trip and you end up laughing even though you know its wrong.

The names of “Captain Marvel” and “Phoenix” came up but those are already somebody else’s characters.

What I’m looking for is short, succinct, and unique.

Look up into the sky.

It’s a bird,

It’s a plane,

An angry woman who is trying to put her life together after having everything she held dear ripped out of her life…

That doesn’t roll off the tongue.

I also had it pointed out that this kinda sounded like the “Hancock” movie. I am a fan of that movie and hadn’t thought of that until they mentioned it but they may be right.

Now before I move much futher on this idea I am going to need to read this book.

That’s it for this rant day.
