Desperate!

i need help.
so I have a story that im working on, set in the middle of NY. high school. this(male) character is thrown out of their comfort zone and into their junior year of high school, where he meets some of the best friends he’ll ever had. he pretends to be okay, but his life is unraveling at the seams behind his friend’s backs. His friends are [name_u]Jesse[/name_u] and [name_f]Alison[/name_f], nn [name_u]Ali[/name_u]. The character ends up falling for [name_u]Jesse[/name_u] secretly. [name_m]Scorpio[/name_m].
I was thinking [name_m]Brendon[/name_m] maybe? But i’m stuck. plz help!
wasn’t biting in the writing board. you guys tend to help tons.

(out of curiosity what gender is his friend [name_u]Jesse[/name_u]? Sorry, it’s just… the name is unisex and I don’t want to assume. For what it’s worth, the plot you’ve given makes [name_u]Jesse[/name_u] sound like a boy, but… Anyway, that’s irrelevant I guess)

Anyway, [name_m]Brendon[/name_m] and [name_m]Scorpio[/name_m] are both interesting. I prefer [name_m]Scorpio[/name_m], but if I were you I’d go with [name_m]Brendon[/name_m] though because it fits better with [name_u]Jesse[/name_u] and [name_f]Alison[/name_f]. I like my characters to have names that go seamlessly together so they feel like they’re from the same world.

Other suggestions:
[name_u]Nico[/name_u]

oh sorry. [name_u]Jesse[/name_u]'s a guy. I like writing realistic characters. i wasn’t suggesting scorpio as a name; it’s said character’s zodiac sign. should’ve made that clearer. thx for the suggestions!

Yep. I thought so (about the gender) but I just wanted to clarify. And oh! I see the period now after [name_m]Scorpio[/name_m]. That makes so much more sense!
