Fantasy OC - PC Names - Gender Neutral
- Odalis
Origin:
French word OdalisqueMeaning:
"chambermaid; concubine"Description:
As with the more popular variant Odalys, this is a name which should be avoided due to its connection to Ottoman Empire harems and concubines. May we suggest Odette, Odelie, Odessa or Lyssa as better alternatives?
- Odiel

- Ojai
Origin:
California place nameDescription:
This name of an attractive and arty California town could make an unusual but friendly choice.
- Onyx
Origin:
Word nameMeaning:
"gem stone; claw, nail"Description:
Unlike Pearl and Ruby and more like Jasper, this gem name works well as a boys name. With its strong final X, it feels similar to Alex, Phoenix, Jax, and Rex, while the shiny black quality of the stone feels reminiscent of Orion. Chosen by musician Iggy Azalea for her son in 2020, it has accelerated up the charts and now sits just outside the Top 300.
- Opal
Origin:
SanskritMeaning:
"gem"Description:
Opal is on the verge of a repolishing, following other jewel names like Ruby and Pearl. A Top 100 name during the first two decades of the twentieth century, the opalescent Opal has a good chance of coming back as another O-initial option.
