I’ve been trying to write my own sequel for Ratatouille, and in the process of planning it out I made an OC villain that I can’t decide the name of for the life of me… I went and looked for a bunch of French, male names and I need help choosing one. This character is a black rat with grayish-blue eyes and considerable muscle bulk, and he leads a colony that rivals Django’s. The French names following are ones I’ve found as possibilities, followed by their meaning. Some of the names, like Hamlin, are down for the sole purpose of the cool name rather than the meaning. I know there are a lot of choices, but I’ll be narrowing it down, I guess. You can leave a comment and say if there are two or more names you equally like - right now in the draft the character’s going under the “working names” of Jarrett and Delano.
I voted for “Armande” due to its masculine definition and strength of pronunciation.
Generally, I also tend to choose names/cognomens that harness a meaning relative to that of its character counterpart, as it seems to give the entity himself/herself more personality, in a way. (At least, to me it does.)
Have fun writing your story, and I hope that you choose a suitable name for your character!
In response to RMSH and ColetteLinguini - I try to avoid looking at too much of a similar story to mine while I’m writing it. Although I’d never steal ideas from anyone, sometimes what ends up in my story can turn out “inspired” (in lack of a better term) by someone else’s story. It’s just a matter of trying to stay original, I’m weird that way - LOL. I’ll still look into your stuff though, when I get the chance.
I realized I haven’t answered your question, martini833. He’s a very dangerous, very mean black rat. In fact, I FINALLY managed to get a drawing up of him. Take a look!
OK!!! Round two!!! And the final. So it seems that you can’t edit posts and I figure I shouldn’t start a new poll for it, so we’re gonna do this “old-school”. I appreciate everyones’ votes, and we’ve gotten down to three top names.
Jarrett
Armande
Delano
Please post with your vote between these three and I’ll count 'em up (looking at the above pic will probably aid in your decision since you’ll be able to see what he looks like). On a side note, the other names that were voted on but didn’t end up on the final three will probably end up as names for other members of the bad colony.
The general jist is that Linguini and Colette are off on their honeymoon, so Remy and his family are keeping an eye on the temporarily-closed La Ratatouille until they get back - but between Django training his sons to become the new colony leaders and an unexpected appearance by “Jarret’s” colony, things are not going to be as easy as hoped.
Thanks!
