I need a name for a female character of mine! Her name was originally [name]Emmy[/name], but recently I’ve made a close friend with that name, so it’s hard to imagine it on anyone else. I don’t think the name fits her very well anyway.
Physical description: Slim and short, long brown hair that’s almost always tied back in a ponytail, blue eyes.
She seems like a stereotypical smart, shy girl. She works in the library at a boarding/military school (hard to explain, just go with me) and has a crush on one of the main characters (though he’s a little naive so he has no idea). She won’t play much of a role outside of that until much later on in the story, when the characters find out that she’s actually part of a very secret undercover branch of their organization. It’s then revealed that she’s incredibly intelligent, a good fighter as well, and her job is mostly to trick people into believing she’s someone that she’s not to gain vital information. A spy, of sorts. She’ll never exactly be a ‘main’ character, but she’s very important later on, and she’s romantically involved with one of the main characters during a crucial part in plot.
I’d like to avoid names that start with the letter ‘z.’ Thanks!
[name]Love[/name] the strong character names. [name]Unique[/name], not overdone, but definitely not someone you forget. I’d go with…
[name]Amelia[/name]/[name]Milly[/name]/[name]Mia[/name]
[name]Josephine[/name]/[name]Josie[/name]/[name]Jo[/name] (tough-sounding as [name]Jo[/name], hard to forget)
[name]Sadie[/name] (grittier, country sounding)
[name]Arbor[/name] (unique, less feminine, more tough sounding)
[name]Hazel[/name] (memorable)
[name]Harley[/name] (tough)
[name]Gabrielle[/name]/[name]Gabby[/name] (feminine with a tough nickname)
[name]Jordan[/name]
[name]Jessa[/name]
[name]Ellis[/name]
[name]Maddy[/name] (with a Y, it’s always more memorable)

Thanks everyone! I really love the suggestions of [name]Ruth[/name], [name]Amelia[/name], [name]Jessa[/name], [name]Claire[/name], [name]Cora[/name], and [name]Libby[/name] most of all. I still haven’t settled on a name, but thanks for all the input and giving me a chance to try some names I wouldn’t come up with on my own! I’m still open to suggestions if others have them.
