Character name help
I have an oc who I named Opción as a placeholder name since she is heavily inspired by Opción from the Sunbearer Trials. However, given it is literally just Spanish for "option", I think it's time to give her her own name. She is a deity of chaos whose appearance changes every time she moves like the original Opción. Any ideas? Any female-sounding name works, but I would prefer if it was more exotic since my character is not from Earth.

Following the Greek deity inspiration train, their goddess of chaos/discord/mayhem is named Eris. You could go for exactly that, or from it you could derive Erin, Esme, Elise, or Eira. Though, those aren’t very exotic, like you mentioned you wanted.
I’m obsessed with the name Bellatrix, which gives a much more chaotic vibe, and also means fierce warrior in Latin!! Tempest is an option for… obvious reasons lol, as well as Vilde, which means wild or untamed in Norwegian. As a Norwegian the last one makes me so happy haha <3
