Help naming main character.

Hello all. I’m new to nameberry and need some input on naming my main character.

Character Description: Main character is a 17 year old male. He is about 5’10" tall with an average build and he has light brown hair and dark brown eyes. He works on his family’s orchard, so he is often very tan from working out in the sun. Personality-wise he is a hard worker and doesn’t stray from his responsibilities. He is obedient and always does as he is told. Also, he keeps to himself and is very reserved.

Who named the character: His parents, both deceased. Not very relevant.

Immediate Family (if relevant): He lives with his older sister who I’ve chosen the name [name_f]Fiona[/name_f]. So something that goes well with this name, although she is not a major character.

Already Considered (if relevant): Nothing

[name_m]Don[/name_m]’t Suggest These Names: Anything currently very trendy or very common (i.e. [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], [name_m]Theodore[/name_m], [name_m]Matthew[/name_m], [name_u]Michael[/name_u], etc). I’m not looking for a classic name for this particular character. The story takes place in the future, so something that is unusual, but not too extreme. I love naming characters but I’m very picky.

Anything else?: (Any other relevant information) I’m sorry I don’t have much of the plot figured out yet. I’m trying to develop characters first.

[name_u]Quinn[/name_u]
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_u]Kieran[/name_u]
[name_m]Noaz[/name_m]
[name_u]Finley[/name_u]
[name_m]Knox[/name_m]

[name_m]Brandon[/name_m], [name_u]Cameron[/name_u], [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], [name_m]Ansel[/name_m], [name_m]Benedict[/name_m]

[name_m]Baron[/name_m], [name_m]Donovan[/name_m], [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], [name_m]Zane[/name_m]

I’m guessing this is set in [name_u]America[/name_u]…?

shrugs

[name_m]Axel[/name_m]
[name_m]Malcolm[/name_m]
[name_m]Silas[/name_m]
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m]
[name_m]Quentin[/name_m]
[name_m]Julian[/name_m]
[name_m]Marcel[/name_m]
[name_m]Mack[/name_m]
[name_m]Kurt[/name_m]

I’m not sure where yet, but most definitely not [name_u]America[/name_u].

Thank you all for the suggestions. I have more to consider now.

It kind of matters, as the language spoken and the culture of the setting - made up or not - are going to affect what all the inhabitants are named.

I think maybe decide this first and then we’ll have a better idea of how to help you. :slight_smile:
