[name_m]Hi[/name_m]!
I´m planning to write a story and I need help to choose a name since I´m horrible with names (I make HUGE lists of names and I always find myself searching for help later xd)

The story is going to be set in Spain in actual times so I would like names that they aren´t really flashy (with flashy I mean very atypical, like english names) but they still have “something”. I like names that sound a bit vintage (unless they are something like “[name_f]Dolores[/name_f]” that literally means pains/sorrows or “[name_f]Socorro[/name_f]” that means help.)

The character´s personality and a bit of her story
She is a 14 years old girl apparently normal until she discovers something about herself. She is quite stubborn, pretty hot headed and really direct. Despite that, She is loyal, sincere, warm and works hard for what she wants.

This is my list:
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Alexa[/name_f]
[name_f]Angelica[/name_f]
[name_f]Beretta[/name_f] (I´m not really sure about this one)
[name_f]Aura[/name_f]
[name_f]Cala[/name_f]
[name_f]Celia[/name_f]
[name_f]Camelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]
Débora
[name_f]Delia[/name_f]
[name_f]Eloisa[/name_f]
[name_f]Eva[/name_f]
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f]
[name_f]Julia[/name_f]
[name_f]Laila[/name_f]
[name_f]Lucina[/name_f]
[name_f]Marina[/name_f]
[name_f]Nadia[/name_f]
Nahiara
[name_f]Noelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Phebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Olivia[/name_f]
[name_f]Petra[/name_f]
[name_f]Teresa[/name_f]
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f]

I hope that I didn´t make any spelling mistakes, english isn´t my mother tongue.
Thanks for yor help

I think that, from your list, these would suit her best:
[name_f]Alexa[/name_f]
[name_f]Cala[/name_f]
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]/[name_f]Delia[/name_f]
[name_f]Marina[/name_f]
[name_f]Petra[/name_f]
[name_f]Teresa[/name_f]
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f]

My favorites are [name_f]Alexa[/name_f] and [name_f]Marina[/name_f].

(I also like @mcarolina’s suggestion of [name_f]Martina[/name_f].)

I like short names, like [name_f]Mira[/name_f], [name_f]Rin[/name_f]/Ryn, [name_f]Tara[/name_f]

Names that I like from your list:
[name_f]Alexa[/name_f]
[name_f]Eva[/name_f]
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f]
[name_f]Julia[/name_f]
[name_f]Layla[/name_f]
[name_f]Nadia[/name_f]
[name_f]Olivia[/name_f]
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f]

I love the name Ameli but in this case I think it doesn’t quite fit your character description.

I’d go with [name_f]Pheobe[/name_f] or [name_f]Cala[/name_f], but I prefer the [name_f]Calla[/name_f] spelling myself.

I actually really like [name_f]Teresa[/name_f] and [name_f]Marina[/name_f].
