Gender: Female
I was looking up women’s warrior
attire for one of my characters and I came across a pretty cool picture of this
lady and I thought I had seen her before and well when looking it up she was
the main character in a TV series some years back and her name was Kahlan. I
don’t think I saw the series but I think I saw it advertised and that’s why I
remembered the actress. Anyway the name is really cool but I hear the author of
the novels that the TV series were based on was made up by him. So like other
names like that I am not sure if it’s legal or not to use the name on anyone
else’s character or not. I learned it was made up by him after I had already
named a character Kahlan so I may have to go back and change it, looking back
the name doesn’t really fit my character that well anyway.
Kahlan has pretty meanings and a
pretty cool look but the pronunciation gets me. Kay-len is what I found as the
pronunciation but many people felt the same as I do that it looks more like it
would be pronounced like Colin just because most people see AH and say it like
you would when you open your mouth for the doctor. But either way you say it
looks pretty cool but I would probably suggest sticking to using it a as a screen
name or pet name rather than for a character, personal name change or baby
name.
