Help for my granddaughter

[Tambora]

She is writing a story for an extra assignment at school (6th grade).

She already has the story, but needs help with names.
She wants 7 males names and 3 female names that have a connection to "wolf".
(First names only, as the family name in her story is Wolfe.)

She already has Romulus and Remus for 2 of the male names.
And Virginia for 1 of the female names. (from Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolfe).

Can you think of any more for her?
Needs to be a name that has a relatively well known connection to "wolf" in some way, and not be a connection that is so obscure that hardly anyone knows of it.

Ava says thanks if you can help her.

Canis
Lupus
Lupe
Volpone ("fox" I think, close enough?)
Fenris (Norse myth)
Peter (from Peter and...)
Jack (Wolfman Jack)
Larry (Talbot)
Lon (Chaney)

Good list by Musti. Was thinking on many of those myself.

How about Whitley after Whitley Strieber, author of the book Wolfen, about Werewolves living in New York.

David Kessler, the Werewolf played by David Naughton in the movie American Werewolf in London.

Various characters in The Howling movie series.

Or in the Resident Evil movie series.

Eric Cord, or Nicholas Remy in the tv series Werewolf.

Oh yeah - Eddie Munster was a boy werewolf!

Which brings to mind, Michael J. Fox's Teen Wolf, Scott Howard.

The list is endless, Tam....

D

Maugrim from the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. (male)

Wolf Larsen from a novel by Jack London entitled: The Sea Wolf.

Good one!

Or White or Fang, from the great book and movie White Fang, also by Jack London.

Wolfdog actor: Jeb - What a beautiful animal! Great movie...

Ah, there ya go - Wolfdog, or even Wolfgang!

For that matter, the name Jack or London.

Or any two names like those but as siblings, or some such, as with the famous siblings Celine and Dion Tam - named after their parents favorite singer: Celine Dion.

And then there are the characters in that werewolf movie Wolf, starring Jack Nicholson and Michelle Pfeiffer, and James Spader.

The list is endless...

Rom. 5:6-8.

Also wolf in the fold...wolf disguised as sheep...ravening wolf...probably too dark for her needs but a real life lesson.

 

[Tambora]

Thanks everyone.
Very helpful.

The names are for people, not actual wolf animals.
So names like White Fang are out.
And she wanted some names that were unusual and sorta mythical sounding.
Ava liked the Lupus and Fenris, but not the common names like Lon and Larry (although she might use Chaney).

Her story is set in a Medieval times theme.

She has really enjoyed getting the help.
It has given her many choices to consider.

Lycan is another one but that seems used a lot by those basement dwelling goth hipsters with wispy mustaches who like to dress up like ranger trolls and vampire elves.

(Edit) Nevermind. Used!

There's always Lobo.

 

[musterion]

Nevermind. Used!

I bet you're a lycan cosplay nerd.

Ooh, scary.

I'm more the ungainly Ogre type.

How about a dog named Silver who is very protective of her heroine?

Silver being what werewolves are taken out with.

Rom. 5:6-8.

She had already thought about the silver angle and decided on using the name Sterling.
