Oh my gosh, I totally forgot to update on here with the last character names that I did!

(I will have more to name in the prequel to this story, which I’m starting on right away, but I haven’t gotten there yet.)

The last two characters that I named (twin sisters):

[name_f]Hera[/name_f] [name_f]Calanthe[/name_f] [name_f]Prideaux[/name_f] & [name_f]Evolet[/name_f] Merinda [name_f]Prideaux[/name_f]

(Their names were changed when they were 2, and used to be: Ariselie [name_f]Soleil[/name_f] [name_f]Prideaux[/name_f] & Aveyard [name_f]Lucine[/name_f] [name_f]Prideaux[/name_f])

Also,

I guess I never mentioned the mother/wife in this family, but I had her named Nari [name_m]Tan[/name_m] and changed it to [name_m]Ran[/name_m] Myong just because I feel like it fits her character and the setting better.

And, the rest of the [name_f]Prideaux[/name_f] family (the twins mentioned above) bc I’ve apparently never mentioned them either:

[name_u]Orion[/name_u] [name_m]Cassander[/name_m] [name_f]Prideaux[/name_f]
Alizae [name_u]Embry[/name_u] [name_f]Prideaux[/name_f]
[name_m]Uriah[/name_m] [name_f]Liberty[/name_f] [name_f]Prideaux[/name_f]

yes, I did use [name_f]Liberty[/name_f] on a boy, thank you

Not really any new characters, but I did do a mass renaming ceremony (mwah ha ha!!) in which I made the following amendments:
[name_f]Anya[/name_f]-- [name_f]Natasha[/name_f]
[name_u]Glen[/name_u]-- [name_u]Keaton[/name_u]
[name_u]Dexter[/name_u]-- [name_m]Boone[/name_m]

Karla and [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] [name_m]Ames[/name_m] (names will be changed!)
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f]
[name_f]Sandra[/name_f] [name_u]Sutton[/name_u]
[name_m]Chadwick[/name_m] and [name_m]Stanford[/name_m] were flipped.
There’s two characters mentioned solely by their last names: Villanueva and [name_m]Stevenson[/name_m].

Sam and [name_u]Carter[/name_u] can’t decide what names they want to be changed to.

While I’ve been gone:

Changed his first name to [name_m]Roarke[/name_m] just cause it felt more him to me. Kept his middle and surname the same.

In the prequel of this story that all of these characters belong to, I so far have Mayflower [name_m]Novak[/name_m] (no middle name yet) and Tibeldie (no middle or surname yet).

In another story that I started the main idea of, I have a family:

[name_m]Ethan[/name_m] [name_u]Bryce[/name_u] [name_m]Benson[/name_m]
[name_f]Mia[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] {Howser} [name_m]Benson[/name_m]

[name_u]March[/name_u] Rivera [name_m]Benson[/name_m]
[name_m]Alonso[/name_m] [name_u]Koda[/name_u] [name_m]Benson[/name_m]
[name_f]Diantha[/name_f] Lovelle [name_m]Benson[/name_m] “[name_f]Annie[/name_f]”
[name_f]Lilium[/name_f] [name_f]Delphine[/name_f] [name_m]Benson[/name_m] “[name_f]Lily[/name_f]” ([name_f]Annie[/name_f]’s twin)

(Honestly, with the sibset, I just wanted a reason to use [name_u]March[/name_u])

Another story that I started the main idea of, there are 4 main characters that only have first names right now because the idea is that I don’t know much more about them than the reader does so I haven’t done much digging yet. Anyway, 4 main characters:

[name_m]Frank[/name_m]
[name_u]Ryan[/name_u] (b)
[name_m]Trey[/name_m] [name_m]Angelo[/name_m] (double first name, insists on going by this and never just [name_m]Trey[/name_m])
Danessa

[name_m]Frank[/name_m] & [name_u]Ryan[/name_u] aren’t names I’d normally use for characters but they make perfect sense for them.

[name_m]Can[/name_m] you tell that I’m not capable of just sticking to one story? :see_no_evil: It really is a problem

Okay, here’s a rough draft, I guess, of a few characters names from my new story I’m working on (set in [name_u]Germany[/name_u] during WWII)

Alice Baumann (née [name_m]Albrecht[/name_m])
[name_m]Gad[/name_m] Baumann
[name_m]Otto[/name_m] Baumann (their son)
[name_f]Sabine[/name_f] (not sure what her last name would’ve been historically speaking) ([name_f]Alice[/name_f]’s daughter)
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] Vogt
[name_m]Heinrich[/name_m] Vogt
[name_m]Karl[/name_m] [name_m]Dietrich[/name_m]
