What do you think of this name?

I'm currently writing a story and I have this one character that's named Terra Vega. Her middle name is Amerie (like A-marie) I've been very confident about her name for awhile, but I'm starting to feel a bit insecure. What do you think of it? Is it good, bad, or just terrible? And if you think it's terrible, please be my guest and come up with a better one..

(F.Y.I I'm well aware it's sounds a lot like Tori Vega from the Nick TV show, but the Vega last name did not come from the show. I came up with it out of the blue with no knowledge of it being another character's name.)

Just make sure the name fits the story. It sounds like a name of a fantasy book character, or a science fiction/futuristic character. If that is the kind of story you are writing, then I think that name should be fine.

However, if you are writing a story about a regular teenager in high school, then this is not a good name - it would be too unrealistic. Do you know what I mean?

It sounds really nice, but the very first thing I thought of when I read the name was Tori Vega from the nick show ): I think its just a bit to similar. I'd give it a more unique name that won't get readers side tracked thinking about something else, but other then that, I like it! I think you should keep the middle name too, I've never seen it before lol

I like it :) but honestly I just thought of the nick show! I think that they're a bit too similar. And when that happens, people start to associate the nick character with your character. So I think that if you want your character to stand out and have a strong name, you should give her a boy's name, like Braxton. She'll stand out for sure :)

I like Terra Vega, I don't think Amerie flows well tho'. With tha "a" at the end of Terra and the "A" at the beginning of Amerie leads to a double "a". It just doesn't roll off the tongue.

I don't know the type of person you character is but you chose two earthy names for her. Terra is another name for Earth and Vega means meadow dweller.
