Billionaire Romance Character Names

Did you know that one of the more popular subcategories of romance novels is the billionaire romance novel? It makes sense, though, doesn’t it? It’s often a throwback to the beloved Cinderella stories where a poor heroine is plucked out of poverty by the love of a prince, or in this case, a rich heir; or it is a play on the screwball comedies of the 1930s and 1940s, full of aspiration and inspiration and opulence. At the end of the day, romance stories are escapism. Why not find true love and financial stability at the same time?

For some, the traditional telling of this kind of story in 2020 feels outdated and unoriginal. Fortunately, contemporary retellings are often a lot more interesting and complex: Cinderella finds her own success and needs no saving, or Cinderella is a Cinderfella; the billionaire is more than money and a chiseled chin. You still get your fantasy happy ending, but you get a lot more with it.

This fantasy and wish-fulfillment element is often reflected in the characters, too. Sometimes they are stand-ins for a character trait. (“Billionaire Blade Cullen was known for being cutthroat in the boardroom and even more dangerous in the bedroom…”) Their names are often trendy, closely reflecting names that are popular now and not fitting the character’s age in the story. You’re more likely to meet a Larry than a Steele in real life, but you’re more likely to meet a Steele in a romance than you are a Larry.

The names in this genre are also usually easy to say. I’ve often joked that the way to get a great romance character hero name is to combine a weather phenomenon with the name of a county in Georgia. Raine Montgomery! Storm Fulton! Hail Cobb! It weirdly works, doesn’t it?

And tonally, the billionaire romance is going to feature names different from say, a contemporary romance, a regency romance, or paranormal one. If you’re searching or struggling to find that perfect romance character name, we have some ideas for your billionaire protagonist. And, we get into archetypes in a way that a character name generator cannot.

So whether you are looking for a name for a no-nonsense heiress or the hardworking boy next door, we’ve got ideas. Check out our list below of billionaire romance character names, for your sweet ingenues or sexy heroes, and see if any make you see stars…or dollar signs!
