Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a great villain name?
The best villain names balance memorability with menace — they're often slightly unusual, sometimes ironic (a cruel character named Grace), and roll off the tongue in a satisfying way. Dark sounds (V, X, K, Th) help, as do unsettling titles.
