[name_m]Hi[/name_m], in my book there’s the main character and her three best friends. And I cannot think of a single name for any of them! So the main character is trying to be a good person despite their school position as the most popular girls in school, juniors, she is funny, adventurous and a little flirty. Her next best friend has blonde hair with brown eyes, she is adventurous and fun loving and a little reckless. Another bestie has black hair and blue eyes and is pale. The last one has brown hair and brown eyes. Sorry I didn’t describe everyone I didn’t want this too be TOO long, but a lot of options would be greatly appreciated

It would kind of help for the rest of the descriptions to be there, right now I’m just thinking the brunette could be [name_f]Anya[/name_f], but that’s just because I look like her and I’m [name_f]Anya[/name_f], and the black hair blue eye might be [name_f]Catrina[/name_f], but that’s just a name I though of from the looks. But, for the main character maybe [name_f]Via[/name_f] or [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], for the adventurous friend maybe [name_u]Cass[/name_u]. Sorry I only had one each, but I need to go to sleep. I’ll think some more tomorrow
I chose all of the names based on the characteristics you gave your characters. If they weren’t given a personality, I found names based on potential ethnicities that would make their appearance. For the most part, I went with names that could be shortened with nicknames, just for more flexibility.
I hope this is helpful!! Sorry for the wait (and for how long this post is)
“So the main character is trying to be a good person despite their school position as the most popular girls in school, juniors, she is funny, adventurous and a little flirty.”
I learned in a course on narratology that a character’s power partially comes from the length of & number of syllables in their name. Since she’s the main character and has somewhat of a dominant personality (since quiet girls are not often the popular ones), I thought I’d take that tip and see what names come from that. I tried to go for names that could work for either really nice or really catty girls (not that the main character is catty! I believe she is nice, but she is trying to be nice, so that tells me that she might have some meaner tendencies, even if she doesn’t want to be that kind of person. I believe she is genuinely good because she wants to be a nice person, if that makes sense)

“Her next best friend has blonde hair with brown eyes, she is adventurous and fun loving and a little reckless.”
I drew inspiration from Scandinavian and Germanic names. She reminds me of someone like Heidi Klum, like gorgeous blonde, fun personality, old-school supermodel.

“Another bestie has black hair and blue eyes and is pale.”
I went for a sort of Irish/Celtic route for her, because those are Celtic traits.

“The last one has brown hair and brown eyes.”
She’s very ethnically ambiguous to me. She could be African, or South Asian, or Middle Eastern, or Mediterranean. Lots of fun finding names for her, there’s so much room for creativity That being said, I didn’t try to go too “ethnic” with her name.
