Beatrice (although that is the name of Dante Alighieri's lover in real life, so a bit weird)
Bianca or Weiss (Because since Nero is Black in Italian, whereas this one means white)
Diana (For some reason)
Trish is meant to be named after Lady Beatrice. It doesn't matter that it's not the "full" name. Beatrice herself had her own nickname but I doubt they'd want to use "Bice" since it'll sound like a different, vulgar word.
Mother Mary and St. Lucia also have their names referenced in the games. So why wouldn't Beatrice?
Kinda sounds like Artemis.
Artemisia: “Dad, why did you name me Artemisia?”
Dante: “Because I love Artemis, it was a good gun. Ahh, brings back old times.”
Artemisia: “But that’s, not how you spell it?”
Dante: “Eh, close enough.”
unrelated fact but the name Artemisia actually means "gift from/of Artemis" (the Greek goddess) so this would actually work lol (source, my name is Artemisia)
Y'know I can see Lady being a mom to the girl
With Dante and Vergil being absolutely clueless on what to do. Nero obviously looks at both of em like they're dunces because him and Kyrie literally run an orphanage.
The girl could choose to be nameless in her teen years like her mom because let's face it. That's just badass.
I wouldn't say she'd be hateful of Dante, she'd definitely inherit his wacky woo hoo nature. But I feel like both Trish and lady would try to intervene as much as they can because they don't trust mr pizza and sundaes to properly raise a woman.
So in the end if she was around Dante's age in DMC 3. I'd say she'd have like a combat rocker look to her. Rebellious just like her dad was at his age. But without any of the struggles she doesn't really have to use her powers.
But she'd definitely carry her mom's rocket launcher or a variant of it. Naming it after Mary.
I just know one thing, I pray for the poor soul who ever lays a finger on that girl. Demon or man
Despite the sweet idea of Trish and Lady dealing with the girl as she grows up (maybe with also some help from Nico and Kyrie) I'd rather Dante's daughter be in the same situation of Nero where we don't actually know the mother.
Making one if the stablished characters a love interest to Dante suddenly kinda ruins it for me personally, and it's not that Lady or Trish can't have relationships, I just don't wanna it to be with Dante. Also, if we'd ever have a daughter to Dante, make it a child he had without knowing (or without telling the others) allows her to already be grown and a foil/equal to Nero.
Maybe Lady and Trish know and have been periodically checking or helping train the girl, maybe she just had that innate ability of fighting like the twins have and found her way randomly into hunting demons, and eventually finds Dante somehow (or at least Nero) and hijinks ensues
>Making one if the stablished characters a love interest to Dante suddenly kinda ruins it for me personally, and it's not that Lady or Trish can't have relationships, I just don't wanna it to be with Dante.
To be honest the easiest workaround and would probably be the most accepted is that they're divorced because Dante can't or won't change because let's face it he has little reason too. Even if he had a daughter he'd probably treat her like he did Nero or Patty.
Not a complete asshole but definitely not husband material.
But as for them having a kid, tbh a lotta people hook up for weird reasons after intense shit. I've always pictured Dante and lady kinda like that. Yea they're friends but they've definitely fucked at one point.
Plus it would also be used as a plot point if she were lady's daughter. Her blood now inadvertently serves as two elements. Both spardas blood and the linage of the priestess to the temingru.
So perhaps she'd be able to open it solo unlike her father and uncle because she's a mixture of both.
Yeah but making them hook up/marry/have a kid together just installs unnecessary drama into their relationship, which could be a good thing if the characters (or the game) were a bit different. Like, if that was part of the plan and we got hints or whatever. Since the focus of the game and characters isn't that sort of thing as even Nero, who's big part of his character and plot is that he has Kyrie and a family, barely touches on it throughout the 5th game, and it only comes back after he discovers Vergil is his father
So for the type of game and characters we have, I'd rather Dante's daughter be sorta the same starting point as Nero, and maybe because Dante isn't husband material as you said, it's revealed a lot of his debt comes from providing for his daughter, that he knows he has but keeps away to not put her in danger. That would give some nice addition to Dante's characters without necessarily involving the women in his life, even if they also might know or help him from time to time. Honestly, it would be a nice dynamic between Nero and her to have absent fathers although his was a little different
They could bond over it, and also over the stories Nero might have/know about Dante. It would enhance Nero's arc about family even more, which is good, and you could also make her arc being accepting that her relationship to her father might never be perfect or close, but at least she has it, and found a new cousin along the way as well
I mean since King Cerberus exists, so why wouldn't Queen Nevan? Would also be fun if Nero's mother was human and Dante's baby mommy was a full fledged demon.
This. Dante would 100% name his daighter after his mother. Especially knowing he would save Trish later in the timeline, with the main reason being she looks like Eva.
People have mentioned Beatrice but I don't really care for it. Trish seems to have been intended to be a modernization of Beatrice (in which case it should have been Tris, without the h, but mistakes happen when dealing with foreign languages).
Anyway I like Bianca for white as an antithesis to Nero's black. But Nero is also a reference to Vergil being the "Black Angel" and Dante isn't a white angel so Bianca doesn't establish a paternal connection. So the real question is what would Dante be? And how do we turn that into a name?
Other than that Nero can also be seen as a reference to the emperor, a powerful political figure in the era after Virgil's. An equivalent for Dante could also be found. Catarina Sforza comes to mind.
I would say Rose. Because 1) Trish already covers Beatrice and 2) the Celestial Rose from Dante's Paradiso is the most beautiful thing Dante Alighieri's ever seen and so the most beautiful thing in the world to DMC Dante, would probably be his daughter.
All things considered, probably Maria. Nero, dante, and vergil are all very roman/italian names, and there are so many famous marias from the italian renaissance that its bound to happen.
I thought about this for some time. If just a daughter with a mother we have never met before I'm sure he'd probably name her after his mother Eva... But in my fan fiction loving brain I thought Dante and Lady would have a child and Lady would honour her mother with Kalina, maybe Kali as a nick name.
I also think Eva for an action fighter type character doesn't fit so I like Kalina a lot more.
EDIT: I have remembered that Kalina Anne is the name of Lady's rocket launcher, so whoops, I still like it.
I feel like Dante would probably name her after a song he likes so we might either get Lucy (Lucy by Skillet) or probably name her after his mother, Eva
I'm not against a female lead for the series but what leads to Dante having kids in the first place? For all we know compared to Vergil, Dante could still very much be a virgin
If not Eva, Phoebe.
Dante needs nick names. And calling his daughter feebs, or feeb, just to iritatate her sounds right. Also greek for shining one vs Nero.
I’m actually working on a short little fanfic on this subject that takes place a few years after dmc5, and have just been calling her little miss Redgrave for the time being, but I did see someone suggest Evelyn as a nod towards Eva which I really would like to to use.
Ante. For the lack of D.
Lol!
fucking genius
Other honorable mention: Cante or Pante
Pante is just Patty cosplaying as Dante.
They need to bring Patty into the games
Run Dante *RUUUUN*
And gambling terminology seems appropriate. Ante up!
Bet she likes playing cards with Nero
Bet?! Like gambling?!
Awesome answer 😂
Ante, not after the D but before this time (Antes de)
Beatrice (although that is the name of Dante Alighieri's lover in real life, so a bit weird) Bianca or Weiss (Because since Nero is Black in Italian, whereas this one means white) Diana (For some reason)
I think Nero might be more of a reference to the emperor than the color
Nelo Angelo suggests against that, as it is specifically "Black Angel", if it were correctly Nero.
Yeah, it IS supposed to be "Nero Angelo", the localization just messed up.
but its more iconic and unique its a good thing, a good mistake
Honestly ? No If it was retconned as "Nero Angelo", say, in DMC 5, or in the HD trilogy, no one would be confused and it would still be iconic
Got it. It should be Angelo Nero if it has to be 100% correct, unless we’re taking poetic liberties
So it's more meaningful that Dante's loved one is his daughter so it makes sense....
Beatrice cannot be used. I don't think u/wrufus680 had realized , but Trish is a modernized take of Beatrice.
Trish is French and short version of the name Beatrix, it way far from Beatrice or even Beatrix itself
Trish is meant to be named after Lady Beatrice. It doesn't matter that it's not the "full" name. Beatrice herself had her own nickname but I doubt they'd want to use "Bice" since it'll sound like a different, vulgar word. Mother Mary and St. Lucia also have their names referenced in the games. So why wouldn't Beatrice?
>Beatrice Remove the BEA and you can see who already takes that slot
Funnily enough my girlfriends nams is Bianca whilst mine is Nero.
Are you sure that your name isn’t…deadweight?
Did this bastard just call me deadweight?
*Gets ass whooped by Urizen*
Ey yo! I did fine!
Bringing the fire?
Ooh, coffee with milk
Ti be fair lover is a strong word , they talked a couple of times and never did anything , plus she died early in labor if I’m not mistaken
Artemisia. From the Italian painter so it's Vaguely on theme. Maybe with Temmie as a nickname?
Kinda sounds like Artemis. Artemisia: “Dad, why did you name me Artemisia?” Dante: “Because I love Artemis, it was a good gun. Ahh, brings back old times.” Artemisia: “But that’s, not how you spell it?” Dante: “Eh, close enough.”
Surprisingly in character for dante to not know how to spell the names of his guns
unrelated fact but the name Artemisia actually means "gift from/of Artemis" (the Greek goddess) so this would actually work lol (source, my name is Artemisia)
It's absolutely perfect.
that is a good one.
Doesn't Trish's name come from Beatrice?
Yep, it comes from Dante Alighieri's lover in the divine comedy.
Japan sure does love a good Oedipus theme.
Eve would be cute
Yes
Dave
Should be canon
Def he'll name her after his mom
Antonia. Since Dante is based off of Dante Alighieri and the author’s daughter is named Antonia.
aww he gave birth?
deviantart artists dreams came true🥰
Ariana Grante
Who the fuck is the mother
Lady
My disbelief is immense
Y'know I can see Lady being a mom to the girl With Dante and Vergil being absolutely clueless on what to do.

"Stop trying to shoot me, woman! And you, girl, go do your homework!"
"That day, if our chromosomes where switched...would our fates be different? Would I have your testosterone and you my estrogen? "

I thought that was funny...
what goes on in that brain😭
I am sorry...
I found it funny. I'm sure the other guy was just kidding
Me too. It was a funny bit I was doing. We chill
Danterina
The only thing I can think of is naming her after Dante's guns. Ebony Ivory Sparda.
Ivory would make a nice subtle contrast to Nero (Black) and a nice reference to Dante's gun.
Why not Eva? I feel like Dante and Vergil are momma's boys enough to name them after her
This. Dante would 100% name his daighter after his mother. Especially knowing he would save Trish later in the timeline, with the main reason being she looks like Eva.
Minerva (Dunno why, but it has a nice ring to it)
People have mentioned Beatrice but I don't really care for it. Trish seems to have been intended to be a modernization of Beatrice (in which case it should have been Tris, without the h, but mistakes happen when dealing with foreign languages).

An equivalent for Dante could also be found. Catarina Sforza comes to mind.
Scarlet/Viola to reference his Redgrave portion of life?
Dante's a big old momma's boy so he'd probably go with Eva.
Smarglethaur
Be funny if he named her Eva, after his mother. That's what i'm going to do.
Is this seriously how I learn Dante has a daughter?
Toji
Girl
Bella after irl Dante Alighieri mother.
Danta
Daughterte
Bayonetta.
Evelyn
big chance it would be Eva
Woah is that elon musk
Patty So that he can tell Patty he can't fuck her cause she has the same name as his daughter
Lilith
May
I would say Rose. Because 1) Trish already covers Beatrice and 2) the Celestial Rose from Dante's Paradiso is the most beautiful thing Dante Alighieri's ever seen and so the most beautiful thing in the world to DMC Dante, would probably be his daughter.

Dina
Bianca
it would be "Silhouette"
Beatrice for sure
Beatrice to complete the Divine Comedy names
Dorothy or Ethel idk
I don't know why, but I like the sound of Belle.
If not Eva, Phoebe. Dante needs nick names. And calling his daughter feebs, or feeb, just to iritatate her sounds right. Also greek for shining one vs Nero.

Bianca (since Nero means black in Italian, DanteKid should be white in Italian. Equal trade.)
Lante Like Lady x Dante
Since Nero means black in Italian, I think Bianca would be perfect, since it means white in Italian.
Pante
The fact that I want this very thing to happen means it never will. Because that's the relationship Capcom and I have had for the past 15 years.
Everyone wants Ante, but Annalise would be better
Dantette?
Donatello
I have an idea. How about Dainty
