Trying to think of some OC names, want some opinions.

I've been conjuring up this OC for a while, but I thought since I had to go out for a while I might as well think of some names while I'm out.

First of all, let me explain him so you can get a better general idea about who he is...

He is a Unicorn who is, on top of being an excellent archer, has a love for the mystery of the night, he is generally able to stay awake for long periods of time, but, when he does sleep, he does it during the day, in his den. This awake time is longer then any other pony. Generally, a Unicorn is considered weaker in physical strength because they rely on their horns, but he actually balances it out and prefers to act like an Earth Pony. Mostly using his horn to light his way in the darkest hours of the night.

His coat is a dark grey/black color. I was thinking of a cutie mark that represents both day and night in a yin yang type setting. Or some sort of burning thundercloud, to emphasize passion.

As for names, one I thought of that I particularly like is Twilight (Twilight is the time between dawn and sunrise, or between sunset and dusk.) Sonar (His keen eye during the night because of his nocturnalish nature)
I'd kinda like Twilight to be in the name, because of the connection it has to the night, so if you can offer any alterations to the name or even the design in any way, that would be great, too.

 

That said, here is a IN PROGRESS picture of him, I think I'm going to change that cutie mark. I use the Green and White mane to emphasize the day, and the black coat to emphasize the night.

 

P.S. The reason I gave him brown eyes is because, well, in real life, my eyes are brown, and I kind of wanted part of me to be part of him.

I would consider using a synonym for Twilight, such as Cimmerian or Crepuscular in the name, to differentiate it from Twilight Sparkle, her G1 counterpart, and her mother, Twilight Velvet.

 

I'm at a loss on a possible second name, but I encourage you to do research and find words synonymous with your pony's talents and personality, and make them unique.

I honestly LOLed at that last one!

 

But anyway:

Personally, I like Nocturn. Being nocturnal myself. (You seriously described me in that bio! Hehe)

Also,

Midnight

Dusk

Star Shine

Moonlit

Shadow

Kelly Dream (I believe that's the shade of green that is in his mane? To symbolise his sleeping in the day)

Onyx Sky

Obsidian

Night Light

Eclipse

I really like Moonlit and Onyx Sky, and maybe I can do something with Obsidian 

Ah, okay! I think I'm closing in on something!

"Moonlit Ace" or "Moonlight Ace"

Moonlit Ace would be perfect. Even more so if he were a nocturnal card shark. Lol.

But still a good one. What did you say his "job" was again? Is Archery is special talent?

If so, maybe a bow and arrow with a moon as a backdrop?

Moonlit Shot

Moonlit Nock (could go with the Nocturnal and Nocking in your bow and arrow)

Moonlight String?

I had a similar problem with my OC, Brimstone. I could not think of a name, but after she had everything done but a name, it came to me. I had a backstory, etc. Brimstone is obsessed with dragons, which led me to fire, and then to brimstone.

I reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaly like that first idea, maybe because I reaaaaly like card games.

I can imagine it, a pony, on top of being an excellent archer, is a card shark, and loves to gamble.

Now I wouldn't gamble in real life, but as an OC, that sounds perfect for me!

But yes, he is immensely talented in archery, but likes to be very laid back sometimes too. (Hence the 'card shark' part)

I think I have my name, gentlemen.

Okay, so I got my final design pattered up and ready to go.

He also has a vest, sometimes he wears it, sometimes he doesn't. Used for carrying his arrows, obviously.

As for the name, I think I'm going to go with Moonlit Ace.

Now that that's out of the way, now I can move on to recreating my new OC into SOURCE FLIMMAKER!
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!  B)

O-Oh right, er...

Maybe later... I think some friends of mine want me to join them on Payday 2 on Steam and do a heist... Okay, I guess that works too...

I'm loving the cutie mark! Not too crowded, but it covers the basics of his persona nicely. Nicely done OC overall.
