Gothic names, or Fantasy representatives of subculture

Since different currents, subcultures or any other unusual societies began to appear all over the world, Gothic names have become popular. This does not mean that a person is given any terrible name at birth. He chooses it independently, when he is convinced that the Gothic culture is for him a native, spiritually close.

There is a widespread view that it is possible to join the informal movement under consideration only after a bloody and terrible ceremony. In fact, this is not so, because the Goths are benevolent people, but only with a slightly gloomy worldview.

However, a small ceremony is still present, and it consists in the fact that newcomers need to choose for themselves the names of Gothic. As a rule, most of them do not pay special attention to this process, as a result of which they receive disapproval from more experienced informals. Thus, the whole ceremony is the choice of aka - so the representatives of the subculture call the name.

In fact, there is nothing difficult to choose. From new informal people it is required only that they choose a certain word that would correspond to their individuality. Often, ak is made using adjectives from foreign languages. Sometimes goths call themselves names of characters from films or fiction. With the most common ways to choose and compose aka, you can see the table below.

Gothic names: principles of choice and composition
Rules of compilation Examples
Religious principle. Usually, names of demons, angels, heroes of myths or legends, and also pagan characters are used. Anubis is the God of Death in Egypt; Sidh is a creature from a different world in Irish mythology.
The astrological principle. The names of constellations or individual stars are used (most often cosmic bodies were named after mythical characters). Mars is the God of War; Pegasus is a mythical being that symbolizes freedom.
Foreign principle. When composing, words that have a suitable Gothic translation are used. Crow is a raven (this bird is often compared to death); Thorn is the reverse side of beauty.
Artistic principle. Choose the name of a suitable character from books or movies. Akasha - a famous vampire from the movie "Queen of the Damned"; Azazello - a mirror demon from the book "Master and Margarita."

Gothic female names, of course, are more diverse, because every girl would like to call herself so that her aka had no analogues. More often neformalki use when choosing the names of demoness, bloodthirsty Goddesses, vampires or at the same time horrible and beautiful monsters like the Gorgon jellyfish.

Gothic names, in fact, are not much different from those used by mankind in everyday life. Each individual wants to be unique, unlike the others. The name is the first thing that can help in this. Therefore, joining the Gothic community and choosing some exotic ak, you definitely want to remember all the informals. It should be added that very few people will decide to give up fame among like-minded people.

Summarizing, it can be said that all Gothic names must be unique, because it is impossible to find two identical people, especially in subcultures. And everyone will certainly discover in themselves any quality that will set it apart from the others.
