Just some advice, if you're going to do stories based in a certain time period, study the time period first, that way you know the basics and the way people were named then.

o nvm then, guess i'll try and think of something else to write about. *sighs* thanx though

I'm not too sure, but did people have last names back then? I would have thought they'd go by "Joe son of Bob" and such. But that's just me. Did the Mystic Knights have last names, I can't remember.

A good idea for names are legendary weapons, or battles that aren't that popular but get the attention of people who are familliar with the subject.

eg.

Auric the Conquer, from Zeo. The word Auric is some language for "gold" and Auric was released by a gold key. Or sometimes using other languages for the colour someone wears, or their attitude can also be used as names.

Yeah, people had names like Henry and John, not like Lincyc and Crynkle. Medieval times might sound like fantasy, but the actual real time period was much less cool.

And don't back out just yet - this sounds like a cool series.

[Rage13]

Everyone said that those aren't real names. I should use stuff like Henry or John. So i gotta rethink the first names i guess. Thanks Kali

Diarmad DeLanyea (m)

The names sound kinda Celtic, or Welsh. Maybe you should look at some Celtic mythology, try some corruptions of Celtic gods.
Also maybe Scottish clan names, and sometimes people were named for their properties or territories as well, like Guy of Gisbourne. Other times people were named for something in their history, for example Lancelot du Lac was thought to have been schooled by the Lady of the Lake.

I suggest keeping those names, they're original and somewhat interesting, and taking something from the character's histories as an 'of the' or something. Try for something similar sounding, you have a lot of 'c' sounds (Tyc, Deonyc, Circyn, Linyc). Sevien is a little more French-ish, while Chede seems a little like a nomadic kind of name.

Good luck!

I'm not too sure, but did people have last names back then?

In the early days, I think last names came from:

Family / Clan / Group

Village / Home / Birthplace

or

Profession

Godchecker.com (http://www.godchecker.com) is my favourite. It has the names of the gods, other versions of their names, and a quick summary of who they are and what they 'did' in the myths.
