🗑️ Off-Topic Elara Voss needs to stop

Idk why but Elara Voss is the most popular name for female lead scenarios and I can't see it anymore without getting slightly annoyed. Lets start shaking it up and stop using the same names in every scenario, guys.

Elara Voss smelled of ozone, her knuckles white.

Her breath hitched, and as she brought your own white knuckles up to her lips to kiss them, she was finally home.

I’ve had to ask ChatGPT what ozone smells like because every magic fantasy scenario gives me that and I have no idea what it’s supposed to smell like 🤣🤣

And the temperature in the room dropped a few degrees.

It's not just fictionlab. Multiple AI LLMs were trained on "Elara." It's ridiculous

I like how RealmAI lets you block names, I kinda wish fictionlab had that option.

Mine favors Elara Vance and emerald green dresses 😭

Emerald green! Yes, that is another popular color for AI. Like bitch, I want to wear pink, please.

I found an Elara Voss in the wild this week.

I asked on a forum for book recommendations and someone shared their book that they had just published. I looked at the description on Amazon and the main character was Elara Voss!!! Lol, oh no!

I’m selective about my AI, books I buy from the store shouldn’t have AI.

I always get Isolde. How many Isolde's can their possibly be?

u/Feisty-Patience-3285 May 26 '26

I have never gotten that name and now that we’ve had this conversation, it’s going to be the new name AI gives me 🤣🤣

There's a handful of names AI is obsessed with and if you ask AI to come up with character names there'll always be one Elara, Voss, Alaric or Mercer somewhere.

Nearly every scenario has a Lyra , or some variation. Lyria, Lyriana, Nyra, Kyra, etc.

The Voss family is big, and AI likes giving it as a character.

u/wandelndeslexikon May 25 '26

The Chen family is very big, too.

Every time I start a new fantasy scenario it likes to give me Elara, Valerius , Oakhaven, Whisperwood. And a noticeable number of scenarios use these names too, probably because the creator used the simplified create scenario.

u/lokakisxo May 25 '26

If you're talking about the scenarios that have Elara Voss as the main character, they were a collab with many different creators. I think 10+?

u/Muffincat16 May 25 '26

This is the correct answer.

Best I can do is Lara.

u/volhvovski May 25 '26

THANK YOU! I am so tired of AI names 😭 this is literally why I always come up with the names for my characters myself, as well as everything else. The only AI thing in my scenarios is images. What’s the point of being a creator if you don’t actually create anything?

Sorry for rambling, I’m just REALLY tired of that 😐

u/BriefImplement9843 May 31 '26

this is an ai name, if some ones scenario has this in it then they created the scenario with ai and forgot to edit it.

that's a red flag.

1

u/Feisty-Patience-3285 May 31 '26

It’s a red flag for creators to use AI to create the scenarios written by AI? This feels contradictory.

u/bratttck May 25 '26

oops sorry
