Help with a name
I'm not sure if this is the right forum for this, but it probably is... anyway, I've started writing again, for the first time in many a month, and I need help with a name. Normally, I have no problems just randomly coming up with names, but a name for one particular character seems to be eluding me.
The character in question is a girl who is capable of "speaking" destruction. She opens her mouth, and something that is both a sound, and yet not a sound, comes forth, and destroys things, completely and utterly. She's largely not in control of this power, and is adopted by a somewhat deranged woman, who seeks to use this potent ability to her own ends. Also, in case you hadn't guessed by now, this is a fantasy story.
The thing is, I'm not sure what the deranged woman would name her. The name needs to have some symbolism, but not so much that it's glaringly obvious and just punches you right in the face with its unoriginality...
Ignore the fact that the plot is vague and even a little cliched. I'm still plotting things out in my head, working out the grand scheme of things. But before any of that is done, I need to name this character! So, any tips, ideas, or suggestions for names that you think might be appropriate for a cherubic little herald of destruction would be greatly appreciated.

Call her "Peep", as in "don't make a peep".

Melody would be nice if it was revealed that in the end, if she sings with her voice, her destructive voice is turned into a healing/goody-whatevery one.

Shit! Man, I didn't think of that! It took Shroom to properly interpret the screams of dying people - PeZook

Except that won't happen. She's the Herald of the End, sent to bring death and destruction. While she may overcome this fate (I haven't decided, yet. Although she probably will, as destroying everything in existence isn't a very happy ending), her ability is strictly destructive. It starts off being able to shatter a chair (or person) into pieces, but eventually becomes powerful enough to deatomize things.Shroom Man 777 wrote:Melody would be nice if it was revealed that in the end, if she sings with her voice, her destructive voice is turned into a healing/goody-whatevery one.

Qingcheng (Mandarin for "Collapse a City"), from The Promise, might be a good choice.
Please do not make Americans fight giant monsters.
Those gun nuts do not understand the meaning of "overkill," and will simply use weapon after weapon of mass destruction (WMD) until the monster is dead, or until they run out of weapons.
They have more WMD than there are monsters for us to fight. (More insanity here.)
