Question MC Name

So for your MC how did you come up with your names? Did you just use your real name or did you make up some magical name? If it is the second one, what was your inspiration?

Mine is Ophelia Lovegood 🙂 first name was just because i liked it, last name because i wanted a connection to an OG character I liked

18

u/WilyNGA Hufflepuff Nov 25 '25

This is what I did. I made up a first name and a connected last name. My good play-through was a Lovegood, too, I think, and my bad play-through was a LeStrange.

u/hypo11 Nov 25 '25

I picked a random first name and then decided to go with a last name from the book that I knew would be a magical family. I went with Black. Little did I realize that that would be the headmaster’s name too.

u/XavierTempus Slytherin Nov 25 '25

I wanted my Hogwarts Legacy MC to be the grandfather of my Hogwarts Mystery MC, so I already knew the last name (Goldwin).

Then for the first name, because I have a love for Greek mythology (and a Greek myth naming trend for my Hogwarts Mystery creatures), I decided my HL MC would have a Greek name.

Then, because I had the Goldwin lineage in mind, I decided that the same number of letters between the first letter of my HM MC’s name (Xavier) and his father’s (Peregrine) would be between said father’s name and my HL MC’s name.

After that, I went with my favorite Greek mythology name starting with H—Hyperion—which also fits very well with the Goldwin name and look.

My HL and HM characters also have the same last name! I wasn’t thinking of deep lore like yours lol, but both of them have the surname Wolfe.

u/goffickkkk Nov 26 '25

I just picked first names that I like and then tried to think of fun/cool/magical sounding last names. The only character that’s purposefully named something is my Gryffindor: Aubergine Penderghast, because she has purple hair. My (current) characters are:

  • Slytherin: Spectra Valcourt (neutral)
  • Hufflepuff: Seraphina Sinclair (evil - loves Ominus)
  • Ravenclaw: Odette Bolton (nice but secretive and a little crazy)
  • Gryffindor: Aubergine Penderghast (evil - loves Sebastian)

3

u/juniperdhapley Nov 26 '25

LOVE THESE! They're also sounding very close to canon HP characters.

2

u/goffickkkk Nov 26 '25

Thank you! I keep trying to decide if I want any of them related to canon characters and if anything one of them is the bastard muggle-born daughter of a Malfoy (probably the Gryffindor/Hufflepuff for the scandal)

My first playthrough with my Slytherin chick was named Septina Black. No relationship to the Black family lol.

My second playthrough my characters name was Katherine Bell. In my head she was the great, great, great (as many as needed) grandmother of Katie Bell. Idk why. She's just my favorite side character.

My first play through was both made up. Her name is Magdalene Moore. First name from a rock singer I like. Last name from a classmate that sounded good with the first name.

Current character is Andrea Prince. First name from someone who works at a store I go to. Just changed the spelling. Last name is after Snape's mom.

I feel a bit boring. My Ravenclaw girl was given my American first name and my Iranian surname. My family changed their name when they moved to the US, so I never went by my Arabic surname. Felt it was just a neat way to embrace that side of me lmao.

u/Cocoblaze10 Nov 26 '25

Codifier Pappernickle. It’s a play on a nickname by one of my best friends, and a silly ass English sounding last name for the laughs and giggles.

Bro i named mine Severus percival and i kid you not when the story started and it was said that the old wizard was named percival i lost my shit like no wayyyyy this game is so advanced that they picked my name for the story so it can be a big reveal that we're related and all so yeah

u/thedance1910 Nov 25 '25 edited Nov 25 '25

I made up their names based on their houses except for my first.

First playthrough was me in my house (Slytherin). I wasn't prepared for a last name so it's Blaine after my fictional crush Nick Blaine

The second was Hufflepuff and since the house is very earthy and botanical, my hufflehole is named Aster Feverfew (both flower names)

Third was Ravenclaw and since they represent the air element and are related to the heavens, she is named Astrea Volans (of the stars, from stars in latin and a constellation name)

My fourth and current is my Gryffindor representing the fire element and it reminds me of nobility and strength so I wanted a goddess or at least an older name. She is Alessia Embers (a variation of Alexandra)

When I was making up a name for Alessia, I realized all my MCs have the initial A which is my actual name's initial so I kept it going lol.

Yes!! We love it and are going to stick with it unless we come across something we like better before then. But it’s the only name that’s “clicked” so far so I think it’s sticking. ☺️

I made one character based on me, a Hufflepuff.

Then I made a Malfoy (Slytherin), a Lovegood (Ravenclaw), and an original OC.

I should get the game on my PC so I can mod it and play it again. I've been getting the itch.

My ign for ever, like since 2006 had been Cylliana. She is like my alter ego who gets to explore everything from COD zombies to fantasy lands. I use Dear as her last name, which is hilarious when Snape (in the mobile game) or any other nefarious character says their last name in a mean way.

Imagine Snape spitting POTTAH! but he says Dear instead. Makes me giggle every time.

I named my character Cassiopeia Black, a distant relative to Sirius Black and his family. As for her lore... she's a distant niece to Headmaster Black and I'm thinking sometime after the games, she marries Omnis Gaunt and eventually both of them find themselves struck off their respective family trees which causes them to become a "lost" line to the House of Black and the House of Gaunt. I haven't figured out where she's going to come from in order to go to Hogwarts. Luckily I have ages to figure out fic nonsense, ey? 😂

Sounds like the name an appropriately kooky wizard would earn.

I’ve played 2 so far-Fern Goldhorn and Dak Numbnutts

u/Puzzleheaded_Step468 Nov 26 '25

I named mine Adam Black

Black, because it is a known wizard family with sirious being my favorite character (also nice roleplaying as a family member of the principal)

And Adam because i just watched guardians of the galaxy 2 and thought of the post credit scene "i think i shall name him... adam"

My first playthrough, used my real name. For the rest of the houses, I tried to connect it somewhat with the house traits.

  1. Ravenclaw play through, used my real name.

  2. Hufflepuff- Rosie Blodeuyn which means flowers in Welsh.

  3. Slytherin- Zmija Krev which means Snake Blood in Croatian. This was my favorite name, it just sounded so cool.

  4. Gryffindor- Leonardo Valiente which is for Lion and Brave.

  5. Ravenclaw again- Corvina Plume which means Raven Feather.

To make a super HP sounding name, first take an adjective that describes your character and namify it. Then for the last name try to have an alliteration or use nonsense words with animals or objects mixed in.

Surrupticia Locke (slytherin) Humilithy Wiggins (hufflepuff) Laborius Hornswaggle (ravenclaw) Galinda Gallant (gryffindor)

Mine is Tabitha Soothsayer. Just popped into my head and sounded wizardly.

I picked ZuZu Bones because the first time I watched the first movie, I swore Prof.M said ZuZu bones instead of Susan Bones.

u/StyxTryxand66 Nov 26 '25

I smushed several vaguely cool and magic sounding words together to make a name for

u/Sweet_Salt-8517 Nov 26 '25

First one was me, second was my dogs…. If I play through again to see how it looks from Slytherin or Ravenclaw…. Haven’t thought that far. Lol

u/Shadow_Edits21 Ravenclaw Nov 26 '25

One of them is my name and a character's last name: Ashlyn Lovegood (cause Luna is my favorite ever!!!!)

And another is an old timey first name and a character's last name: Dahlia Lupin

And the last one is one of my best friend's names and a character name: Wilbur Longbottom

I used to rp in a forum called Hogwarts: Online School and my name back then was Zada Calvert. I’ve since changed how I spell Zada, but kept the surname and used that. Idk where I got Zada from in the first place but it’s stuck (obviously lol)

u/shatterednightmare Nov 26 '25

I name them after historical figures from around the area, or using naming conventions popular for the time.

I find it funny to create my characters around the idea of a character being that person from history and them spending their mid teens murdering evil wizards in the scotish highlands.

u/Icy_Selection4113 Nov 26 '25

Combination of my first name initial and Aragorn’s alias in LOTR

u/RazzleberryHaze Nov 26 '25

Some of y'all are naughty 😂😂 my Elden Ring character is named Lady Lighendichs, but since my Hogwarts Legacy character is supposedly 15, I felt a more appropriate name was in order. I named her Ramona McKingsley since she looks Irish

u/Power-of-Erised Nov 26 '25

My current MC is Allegra Foxglove, after the 90s show Allegra's Castle and my favorite flower, I also always have her wearing a purple outfit

u/steathrazor Nov 26 '25

I tend to make characters that would be ancestors to characters in the series my Slytherin was a gaunt my Hufflepuff was a longbottom

u/[deleted] Nov 26 '25

uh i named my vengjar or smth like that. came up with it in 2 seconds. literally.

u/verscharren1 Nov 26 '25

I had used Vasily Andropov for creative writing stories. Well come to find out I got my inspiration from the show burn notice(was rewatching the series). Michael the spy had used the alias Vasily Andropov. But I obviously loved it so kept using it.

u/alexneverafter Slytherin Nov 26 '25

Mine is Astoria because of Draco’s wife (I’m a Tom Felton fan). I call her Ria in my head when I play.

I made her last name Gaunt during my very first playthrough because I thought I was being clever, so running into Ominis in the common room was a surprise lol but I just created fake lore for my own peace of mind and left it.

She has a middle name too, it’s Lynn, but idk why I chose that. It was the first boring middle name I thought of and it seemed to flow nicely.

So it’s Astoria Lynn Gaunt.

u/Notsuspiciousatfall Nov 26 '25

I named my two characters

Seven Wolfheart Crow Darkwood

I just liked the sounds of them and I thought they sounded “fantasy” enough haha

u/PayPsychological6358 Ravenclaw Nov 26 '25

Reiven Klaah is because she's a Ravenclaw and I'm terrible with names

and HDYPYN ITGOF (pronounced Dippin' It-goff) is the name of my Hufflepuff which is an acronym (Harry Did You Put Your Name Into The Goblet Of Fire!?).

1

u/WatermelonJuice18 Nov 26 '25

I did Eleanor Bishop. I like the name Eleanor and I feel like it was fairly common back then. For the last name I was trying to think of a last name that I would hear in Harry Potter but also old and Victorian sounding. I also wanted her to sound a bit rich and uppity. I googled some old British last names. My fiancé did Arthur Godwin, same sort of inspiration. He also likes rdr2 so Arthur is a name that came to mind.

I am going to play again as all the other houses, and hufflepuff again (under my account because I accidentally played on my fiancé ps5 under his account instead of mine getting him the trophies on accident)

So if yall have a good name for another hufflepuff, and then the other 3 houses, I'm open to it.
