Character Names Needed!

Hello! So, I’m writing a story centered on a group of teens around 13-15 years old. I have a few names for them already, but I’d like some more options. I need suggestions for first and last names that come to mind, please. :slight_smile:

Alright, so here’s the first twelve characters, as I’m still developing descriptions for the others:

Character One: She has thick, wavy honey blonde hair that falls down to her elbows. Her skin is lightly tanned with a few freckles on the bridge of her nose, and her round eyes are a vibrant shade of jade green. She is short and slim, and often dresses in athletic clothing, favoring pink and grey. She is extremely intelligent and outgoing, both a popular and straight-A student.
First Names Considered: Macy, Addison, Kara, Isabella “Bella”, Beatrice
Surnames Considered: Baker

Character Two: She has thick medium brown hair that falls down to her waist in tousled curls. Her skin is pale and sprinkled with freckles, and her murky grey-green eyes are shielded by a pair of rectangular glasses. She is tall and chubby, and often dresses in jeans and t-shirts, preferring to not draw attention to herself by covering her arms with a jacket and often wearing black and navy blue. She is a withdrawn and socially awkward wallflower, a bit of a slacker who seems to be constantly on edge.
First Names Considered: Willow, Pandora, Maeve, Farrah, Beatrice
Surnames Considered: Butler, Delaney

Character Three: She has long, wavy light brown hair in a braid that falls down to her waist. Her skin is lightly tanned, with rosy, freckled cheeks.

And here’s the second batch:

Character Thirteen: He has messy brown hair that curls around his ears and sticks up a bit in the front. His skin is slightly tanned, and his arched, unruly eyebrows follow the slight curve of his almond-shaped eyes, which are the same colour as his hair. He has pink lips and a narrow nose with a slight bump on the bridge, and he has a distinct, loud laugh that sounds kind of like he’s choking, but it’s still endearing. He’s very tall and a bit thick in build, though not overly chubby and is quite athletically capable. He often dresses in thick, baggy hoodies with baggy graphic t-shirts (often with a science theme) and baggier jeans. He’s outgoing and witty with a sarcastic sense of humour, and is very intelligent (mainly skilled at [name_m]Math[/name_m] and [name_m]Science[/name_m])- he gets along with pretty much everybody.

Character Fourteen: He has medium length straight light brown hair, with fair skin and eyes the same shade as his hair. He has a round face that retains some it’s baby fat, with faintly flushed cheeks and dimples. He is tall and often wears jeans tucked into t-shirts. He is generally a nice guy, though the scapegoat amongst his friends- he strives to fit in with the other guys and acts rough and tough with them, but he gets kicked around way more and is constantly being made fun of by his so-called friends. He’s popular yet unpopular.

Character Fifteen:
He has short blonde hair and a pale, freckled face with rosy cheeks. His nose is small and pointed, and he has a small and thin frame, though is very quick on his feet and quite the athlete. He often dresses in t-shirts and shorts, and though he is very popular tends to be made fun of for his height quite a bit. He is very skilled academically, being both a mathlete and an athlete.

Character Sixteen: He has short chestnut brown hair and tanned skin with rosy, freckled cheeks and a grin that makes you feel as happy as he does. His almond-shaped eyes are the same colour as his hair, and like Character Fifteen is short and wiry, and often dresses in t-shirts and shorts. He is a skilled athlete, though not renowned for being so, and is nice to pretty much everybody. His sisters are Characters Six, [name_u]Seven[/name_u], Eight, and Nine.

Character Seventeen: He has thick, straight hair that is somewhat short, and a very dark shade of brown. He has deeply tanned skin and rosy cheeks, and his almond-shaped eyes are as dark a shade as his hair, and framed by thick eyebrows. He is just under average height, with a lean and athletic frame. He often wears shorts and t-shirts, and expensive runners. Looking at him you’d think he was a total bully, and he is in with that crowd, though he is studious and gets surprisingly good grades (and is hard on himself when he doesn’t) and has never been super mean to anybody. For the most part he just enjoys teasing people, though sometimes can go a bit too far, and has a bit of a perverse sense of humour, though once you get to know him he is genuinely a nice guy… probably.

Character Eighteen:
He has somewhat short, straight strawberry blonde hair, with fair skin that is very flushed and very freckled. His narrow eyes are a dull shade of blue, and he is medium height (though on the short side) and slim. He often wears t-shirts and jeans, and is mildly popular. He is a nice guy, likes to joke around with his friends and is pretty much average.

Character Nineteen: He has medium-length straight blonde hair and slightly fair skin. His eyes are a dull shade of blue, and he has a narrow nose. He is a bit on the tall side with a slim, athletic build, and often wears t-shirts with jeans or shorts and a Monster hoodie. He tends to hang out with the mean sort of crowd, but he and his best friend Character Seventeen aren’t actively all that mean, they just tend to tease people a lot. He’s funny and outgoing, though not nearly as academically skilled as Character Seventeen.

Character Twenty: He has medium-length straight dark brown hair and tanned skin with brown eyes. He is almost always seen grinning at something or other, and is on the short side and mildly chubby, though his friends commonly call him fat- this is mainly an attempt to downsize his huge ego, though he may be more self-conscious than people suspect. He often wears shorts and t-shirts and expensive runners, and his outfits often have at least one Monster logo. He is funny and outgoing, and not all that bright (which he is constantly teased for by his friends, which is somehow everybody) with a perverse sense of humour, like most teenage boys. He is very popular and friends with Character Seventeen and Character Twenty, and is in with that “mean” short of crowd. He is often teased for being rather oblivious, and for being “fat”. He is the kind of guy who seems like he’s a really good person and who you feel sorry for (about him being teased), but he honestly is rather offensive and not very trustworthy.

Ooh boys yay. I’ll try these too.

Character Thirteen:
[name_u]Arden[/name_u] [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u]

Character Fourteen:
Wyland [name_m]Harris[/name_m]

Character Twenty:

Character Twenty-One:
[name_m]Kenton[/name_m] [name_u]Brady[/name_u]

Whoa, thanks again! I like Wyland [name_m]Harris[/name_m], [name_m]Tobias[/name_m] [name_m]Marshall[/name_m], [name_m]Ethan[/name_m] [name_m]Conrad[/name_m], [name_u]Lyle[/name_u] Westchester and [name_m]Alexander[/name_m] [name_m]Robinson[/name_m] (though I think I’ll do a variant of [name_m]Alexander[/name_m]). I like [name_u]Brady[/name_u] for a surname and I think I’ll do another [name_m]Ken[/name_m]- name for him, and I like [name_m]Bishop[/name_m] and [name_u]Cassidy[/name_u]. Thanks again! :slight_smile:

[name_f]Glad[/name_f] I could help. Good luck on your story

I don’t know if you realized it, but all the girls names named thus far use 2 or 3 syllables. Since you have a large cast, be sure to have one or two of the girls get simple one-syllable names like [name_f]Claire[/name_f], [name_f]Paige[/name_f], [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] or [name_f]Rose[/name_f] (all top 200 names in the US this past year, but not in the top 40). This will help readers keep the characters sorted. I highly recommend “[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]” for your freckled Character #2. (FYI: I especially like it with a Mc or [name_m]Mac[/name_m] name like [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]McKenna[/name_f] or [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_u]MacKay[/name_u], but [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_u]Delaney[/name_u] is nice too). Also, consider putting the two “J” names in the [name_m]Marshall[/name_m] family: [name_f]Jayda[/name_f], [name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f], and [name_f]Hayley[/name_f] or [name_f]Hailey[/name_f] (not spelled [name_f]Haylie[/name_f] since another character is [name_u]Rylie[/name_u], and fits better in a family with [name_f]Jayda[/name_f] and [name_f]Jocelyn[/name_f]). Alternatively, [name_u]Ashtyn[/name_u], [name_u]Peyton[/name_u], and [name_u]Rylie[/name_u] could also easily be sisters since they all have essentially unisex names and [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] would make a good 4th sister.

Be aware: if [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] talks a lot, that will result in a lot of “[name_f]Sadie[/name_f] said” sentences. For most character names the word “said” is invisible, but not for [name_f]Sadie[/name_f], a name that uses all the letters in the word “said”.

@agirlcandream: Thank you!

@Carlic: I didn’t realize that, thanks! :slight_smile: I like [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]McKenna[/name_f], it has a nice ring to it. I think I’m going to name the [name_m]Marshall[/name_m] kids [name_f]Portia[/name_f], [name_f]Georgia[/name_f], [name_u]Sierra[/name_u], [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], and [name_m]Tobias[/name_m]. I think [name_u]Rylie[/name_u] will have an older sister named [name_u]Quinn[/name_u] who’ll be a side character, and I’ll do some one-syllable names for some other characters. And [name_f]Sadie[/name_f]'s a very quiet character, though I’ll be careful when she does speak. Thank you again, you were super helpful!

1: from your list I like [name_f]Kara[/name_f] (I like [name_f]Cara[/name_f] better though) suggestions: [name_u]Piper[/name_u], [name_f]Grace[/name_f], [name_f]Eleni[/name_f], [name_f]Elsie[/name_f]
2: [name_f]Pandora[/name_f] seems a bit out there compared to the other suggestions so I would go with something subtler and [name_f]Willow[/name_f] seems sort of cliche for a shy girl I like [name_f]Farrah[/name_f] the best out of yours suggestion: [name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
3: if you go with [name_f]Kara[/name_f]/[name_f]Cara[/name_f] don’t pick [name_f]Cora[/name_f] although that and [name_f]Isla[/name_f] are my favorite out of these. Suggestions: [name_u]Morgan[/name_u], [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f], [name_f]Mariana[/name_f]
4: (sounds like me :slight_smile: ) out of yours I like [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] but I would suggest using the nn [name_f]Eve[/name_f]/[name_f]Eva[/name_f]/[name_f]Evie[/name_f]
5: suggestions: [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Serena[/name_f]
6: I feel like [name_f]Bella[/name_f] really fits her but I suggest [name_u]Aubrey[/name_u]/[name_f]Audrey[/name_f]
7: Suggestions: [name_f]Lara[/name_f] (see [name_f]Cora[/name_f]) and [name_f]Monica[/name_f]
8: I like [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and [name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] with nn [name_f]Anya[/name_f]/[name_f]Anna[/name_f]/[name_f]Annie[/name_f] maybe?
9: if you like [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] I suggest [name_u]Georgie[/name_u] but she seems like a [name_f]Jessica[/name_f] nn [name_u]Jesse[/name_u]/[name_f]Jessa[/name_f]
10: [name_f]Laurel[/name_f]. I know a [name_f]Laurel[/name_f] just like that.
11: I know a [name_f]Natalia[/name_f] like this but [name_f]Briana[/name_f] suits her.
12: I know a [name_f]Jillian[/name_f] and [name_f]Micaela[/name_f] like this (I think I spelled that right)

Not sure if you still needed it but I had fun trying to do this anyways :slight_smile:

He often wears shorts and t-shirts and expensive runners, and his outfits often have at least one Monster logo. He is funny and outgoing, and not all that bright (which he is constantly teased for by his friends, which is somehow everybody) with a perverse sense of humour, like most teenage boys. He is very popular and friends with Character Seventeen and Character Twenty, and is in with that “mean” short of crowd. He is often teased for being rather oblivious, and for being “fat”. He is the kind of guy who seems like he’s a really good person and who you feel sorry for (about him being teased), but he honestly is rather offensive and not very trustworthy. (Character 20)

You’re welcome! [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]McShane[/name_f] is so sweet for your freckled girl. I love how the 5 [name_m]Marshall[/name_m] kid names all sound similar enough in terms of cadence, and ending with “ia” or “ra”; the boy ending with “as”. That’s a nice grouping.

I’m glad [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] is being used for a quiet character, that when she does speak, you write: [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] spoke up. “That isn’t true!”
Or you use an action: [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] rolled her eyes. “I thought so.” Action #2: [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] nudged [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]. “Can I have a peek?”

Question: Is the double d of Astridd a typo? Anyway, the name sticks out from the other girls and doesn’t convey her athletic and jokester persona. Astrid isn’t used much outside Scandinavia, so it sounds like someone who travels or likes books set in other parts of the world, not a girl athlete on a softball or basketball team. (It also stirs up someone who is very fair-skinned). Besides, you have THREE boy characters whose first names start with “A”, including the unusually-named Alastor “Ace” (a name that seems to suit him). I assume first names will prevail, so you’re writing about Astrid, Adrian, Alastor/Ace and Adam. See what I mean? I recommend changing Astrid to Quinn, Rylie, or some other spunky name that starts with another letter of the alphabet.

Sorry, I hadn’t seen your post! I like [name_u]Piper[/name_u] and [name_f]Grace[/name_f] for Character 1, and I’d like [name_f]Hazel[/name_f] for a middle name for Character 2! I also like [name_f]Briana[/name_f] for Character 11, I’ll make that her middle name as well.

@carlic: Thanks! I’m stuck on either [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] McShane or [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] [name_f]McKenna[/name_f]. And I was hoping those two groups would sound nice together. :slight_smile: And [name_f]Sadie[/name_f] always struck me as a name for a shy kind of person, I find it suits her.
It was a typo! I’ll go fix it, I don’t know why I didn’t notice it before. Hmm, you’re right, I think I’ll go with Rylie. And I’m unsure what to do about the ‘A’ boys, their names fit them well but they do interact a fair bit in the story.
@melancholymusic: Whoops, I hadn’t seen your other post, either- my internet’s super slow today so that might be it, I nearly smashed my screen in frustration before because I could hardly type without it buffering. I like [name_u]Rowan[/name_u] as a middle name for [name_m]Tobias[/name_m], and I really like [name_u]Finn[/name_u] for 19! And E names do sound good for 20, I think I’ll make Stevens his last name and [name_m]Eric[/name_m] or [name_u]Elliott[/name_u] his first. Thanks for your suggestions again, I’ll probably end up using most of them for middle names!
