[name]Hi[/name], berries.

I’ve started writing a novel and I have trouble naming 5 sisters, cousines of the main character.
All 5 girls look alike: tall with long straight hair, just different colors. Aged 26 to 17. Living in modern time in NYC.

Mum: [name]Faith[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] “[name]Cara[/name]”
Dad: [name]Blake[/name] [name]Edward[/name] Hasley

Girl 1. [name]Light[/name] brown hair. [name]Hazel[/name] eyes. I had [name]Kendall[/name] [name]Margaret[/name] nn [name]Maya[/name]. I like both names but hate the combo.
Girl 2. [name]Light[/name] brown hair. [name]Green[/name] eyes. [name]Charlene[/name]? nn [name]Charlie[/name]? [name]Carla[/name]? [name]Carline[/name]?
Girl 3. [name]Light[/name] red hair. [name]Blue[/name] eyes. I like [name]Julianne[/name] _____ nn [name]Jules[/name].
Girl 4. Blond hair. Dark blue eyes. I had [name]Ava[/name] [name]Harlow[/name] nn [name]Haven[/name] but my bff told me it was too “hollywood”.
Girl 5. Dark blond hair. Dark grey eyes.

Thanks for your help!

Girl 1: [name]How[/name] about [name]Margaret[/name], nn [name]Maya[/name]?
Girl 2: [name]Charlotte[/name], nn [name]Charlie[/name]?
Girl 3: [name]Julianne[/name] is nice, or [name]Juliet[/name].
Girl 4: [name]Eva[/name] or [name]Anna[/name].
Girl 5: [name]Claire[/name] or [name]Clara[/name]?

I love [name]Charlotte[/name] nn [name]Charlie[/name]. I keep that one.

I also keep [name]Margaret[/name] nn [name]Maya[/name] … until i find something better. I quite like it but it doesn’t fit perfectly with the character.
I don’t like [name]Claire[/name], [name]Clara[/name] nor [name]Eva[/name]. A character is already named [name]Anna[/name].

I come up with [name]Brady[/name] or [name]Elliot[/name]. Would those name work for a girl?
What name would work with the nn [name]Brady[/name]. I don’t like [name]Brenda[/name] and [name]Brenna[/name].

Thanks kyemsma!

[name]How[/name] about [name]Magnolia[/name], nn [name]Maya[/name]? I think [name]Elliot[/name] works for a girl. As for [name]Brady[/name], the first name to come to mind was [name]Barbara[/name], nn [name]Brady[/name], but I’m not sure about that one!

Can they all go together?
In my friends book we have

  1. [name]RoseMarie[/name] nn [name]Maria[/name]
  2. [name]Hana[/name]'Bele nn [name]Hana[/name]
  3. Kaieleen nn [name]Kae[/name]
  4. Nycole nn [name]Nicky[/name]
  5. [name]Connie[/name]

You can try

  1. [name]Mya[/name]
  2. [name]Aurie[/name]'ana
  3. [name]Eve[/name]
  4. [name]Claire[/name]
  5. [name]Hannah[/name]

[name]Do[/name] they all need full names and nns? You could just call them [name]Maya[/name], [name]Charlie[/name], [name]Jules[/name], [name]Haven[/name], and [name]Elliot[/name] (or [name]Brady[/name]) as their given names if you wanted. They are from NY so it wouldn’t be way out there or anything.

If you really needed an explanation for [name]Elliot[/name] or [name]Brady[/name] it could be a family name (mom’s or a grandmother’s maiden).

Girl 1. [name]Light[/name] brown hair. [name]Hazel[/name] eyes. I had [name]Kendall[/name] [name]Margaret[/name] nn [name]Maya[/name]. I like both names but hate the combo.
Girl 2. [name]Light[/name] brown hair. [name]Green[/name] eyes. [name]Charlene[/name]? nn [name]Charlie[/name]? [name]Carla[/name]? [name]Carline[/name]?
Girl 3. [name]Light[/name] red hair. [name]Blue[/name] eyes. I like [name]Julianne[/name] _____ nn [name]Jules[/name].
Girl 4. Blond hair. Dark blue eyes. I had [name]Ava[/name] [name]Harlow[/name] nn [name]Haven[/name] but my bff told me it was too “hollywood”.
Girl 5. Dark blond hair. Dark grey eyes.

If they are minor characters, I think it would be pretty fun to forego traditional names and allow your character to make up names for them using the only thing that easily makes them distinguisable. Their hair color and personalitys… so if #1 is boring, she’d be Cardboard, #2 is smart, she’s Acorn. #3 is sweet, she’s [name]Apple[/name] #4 is happy, she’s Popcorn, #5 is moody, she’s Tarnish.

[name]Just[/name] an idea.

I need both fn and nn, because the main character is moving in with her aunt and family after a family tragedy. She has trouble feeling allright in the family. As better as she fits in her new life, she’s naming her cousins with their nn and no more with their fn.

I’ve chosen:
Girl 1. [name]Light[/name] brown hair. [name]Hazel[/name] eyes. [name]Mariska[/name] nn [name]Maya[/name]
Girl 2. [name]Light[/name] brown hair. [name]Green[/name] eyes. [name]Charlotte[/name] nn [name]Charlie[/name]
Girl 3. [name]Light[/name] red hair. [name]Blue[/name] eyes. [name]Julianne[/name] nn [name]Jules[/name]
Girl 4. Blond hair. Dark blue eyes. [name]Branwen[/name] nn [name]Brady[/name] (grandmother [name]Anwen[/name] and grandfether [name]Brady[/name] :wink: )
Girl 5. Dark blond hair. Dark grey eyes. [name]Elliot[/name] nn [name]Elle[/name]
