So I've recently fallen in love with the Warlock class because I find the narrative possibilities to be insanely compelling. After bouncing around a few backstories and origins, I think I'd like to try running a Warlock whose pact was made for them by their family. Now the Warlock is in their late childhood years and has been with their patron (a Fiend--still have to make decisions in that realm, but certainly a fiend) for quite some time. Essentially, this Warlock is like the weird, adopted child of their patron (they don't hang around of course, but they've been provided for with magic and for all intents and purposes see their patron as their guardian as opposed to their actual family). In their young age, my Warlock is out in the world growing their skills, hence where they'll meet the other PCs. Once they're older and more capable, their patron aims to begin asking for favors.
I've been trying to search for names I like for the character. I kind of imagine that the patron, in their "adoption" of the Warlock, gave them a name to mark them. Because of that, I am into the idea that the name might not be a perfect name, the patron doesn't exactly understand the conventions of "naming" so much as labeling this particular Warlock as theirs.
Unsure if that really makes much sense, but would love the help in figuring out some name ideas if anyone would like to give some assistance!

I'm thinking more along the lines of the Patron calling her Child or Daughter and the word is warped in some way. She understands it as her name but it's the Patron mispronouncing a word.
Darta or Chialld something along that line. I'm thinking it sounds like a a Jamaican accent...

Um... Lillith?
But she goes by Lily of course.
DICE FALL, EVERYONE ROCKS!
Maybe the patron has a sense of humour Bast Ardchild?
From Within Chaos Comes Order!
Possession.
Doesn't really roll off the tongue well, or abbreviate... Maybe Essie, if your PC is a girl? Not sure about race, either.
Sue....(only if it is a guy though).
