A whole bunch of characters need names

Writers' Corner

Alright, so this story calls for fairly uncommon names but that doesn’t mean I won’t consider things that are more mainstream. Meaning is everything.

The Family of the Main Character:
Surname of Family: [name_m]Moody[/name_m] (Alliteration is fine.)

Mother: A widowed, independent and firey woman raising too many kids for her own good.
Name I’ve considered: [name_f]Merrigan[/name_f], [name_f]Morrigan[/name_f], something like that. Her surname before marriage was [name_m]Teague[/name_m].

Father: Deceased before story has started, died in a work related incident. Was… a bit of an eccentric.

Oldest [name_m]Son[/name_m]: 25 years old. Has moved out and made a life for himself before story starts. Seems to take after his mother when it comes to attitude.

Oldest Daughter: 23 years old, very protective of her siblings. Refuses to move out until she has found the right man to marry.
Name I’ve considered: [name_f]Aminta[/name_f], nickname [name_f]Minty[/name_f] or [name_f]Minta[/name_f].

Daughter #2: 21 years old. Quiet and rather shy, black sheep of the family.

Daughter #3: 19 years old. An artist with a brilliant mind. However she can’t help but feel superior to her siblings, might be called a hipster if that was a thing when this took place.

Youngest Daughter: 17 years old. Main character, not particularly bright. Very kind and outgoing.

Youngest [name_m]Son[/name_m]: 14 years old. Takes after his father quite a bit

Other Characters:

Best [name_m]Friend[/name_m]: Male, kind of a jerk.

Best [name_m]Friend[/name_m]'s Mother: Doesn’t quite understand how much of a jerk her son is. Quiet lady, also friend to the other mother.
Name I’ve considered: [name_f]Agatha[/name_f].

Important person they meet along the way whose role I can’t really pinpoint but oh well: Male, a surprisingly young and stuttering fisherman who is a bit of a pushover and honestly doesn’t know what he’s doing anymore.

Sorry if this is too much, you don’t have to suggest for all of them, but I’m just looking for some help as I am stuck on the naming.

The Moodys:
[name_f]Merrigan[/name_f] or [name_u]Meredith[/name_u]
[name_m]Silas[/name_m] or [name_m]Cyrus[/name_m]
[name_m]Asher[/name_m]
[name_f]Amity[/name_f] or [name_f]Amabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Melanie[/name_f] (having a name that isn’t an A would make her feel left out and it means black. She could be named after someone.)
[name_f]Astrid[/name_f]
[name_f]Anwen[/name_f]
[name_u]Aidan[/name_u]

The Friends:
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m]
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] or [name_f]Clarice[/name_f]

Fisherman:
[name_m]Hugo[/name_m]

HTH :slight_smile:

I think the mother’s name should be an off-shoot of [name_f]Mary[/name_f]. It’s very motherly. I picture her being nickname Mer.

I really like the whole A thing, which I hadn’t thought of before. The names you suggested are all very lovely. I’m not really feeling [name_m]Hugo[/name_m], but I am heavily considering everything else. Thanks!

That sure is a lot of names, Thank you so much for taking the time to put them all down. I now have two names officially decided, the rest are still open for suggestion.

Mother: [name_f]Merrigan[/name_f]
Youngest Daughter: [name_f]Moira[/name_f]

Yes, I know they are alliterative but I would like to avoid M names for the rest of them, as I have decided I do not wish for all of them to be like this. However, [name_f]Merrigan[/name_f] and [name_f]Moira[/name_f] [name_m]Moody[/name_m] have been decided. For now, at least. I’m a fickle person when it comes to names and honestly it could change any time.

It’s a cool idea, but it might get confusing for the reader.

8

Yes, I’ve decided to drop the idea.

Thanks! I had fun with that!
Yeah, [name_m]Hugo[/name_m] was kind of random. I was trying to think of something a bit exotic.
Maybe [name_u]Theo[/name_u], [name_m]Marco[/name_m], [name_m]Carlos[/name_m], [name_m]Edwin[/name_m] or [name_m]Isaiah[/name_m]?
