I'm busy trying to make a story that involves 4 deities, and I'm building a bank of possible names for them. One's called Schism, but I have no clue on the next three, they have to be meaningful and unique, but also plausible. So yeah, I guess what I'm asking for is if anyone's got any good ideas, they'll be greatly appreciated. I'll write what I've already got:

Zanzibar
Ochre
Orchid
Nirvana
Horizon
Charity

We can't offer truely informative advice without knowing more about the universe, tone, people, power of the dieties, etc. Any specific trends in naming, like how Star Wars has a lot of "Obi-Wan" "Han Solo," and the likes?

You've also asked for "Meaningful and unique, but plausible."
What about the names you currently have that make them have these attributes? What are the dieties like?

The characteristics of a deity do effect its name. So yeah, need more info. Like, do you want names that sort of sound like they could come from this world, or names that you'd only expect to find in fantasy?

Racial Gods? National Gods? Elemental, chaos, apocalyptic, holy, evil, gay, mortal, immortal...

What kind of deities are we talking here?

Zanzibar is a place.
Orchid is... an orchid, with oranges.
Nirvana is taken and it'll be too obvious to use it.
Horizon & Charity just feel wrong.

Mate, tell me the background for it. If you're having trouble use Norse/Hindu/Chinese Mythology for names depending on the deity and on the background.
Good luck with your fantasy.
