So basically, the premise of the novel is that two teenagers during the Great Depression. I’ve been looking at a bunch of vintage-y names, but I’m not sure if they have the right feel to them yet. I need maybe four or so names.
Character [name]One[/name]:
- main girl
- has an abusive (maybe bipolar) boyfriend
- runs a boarding house with her mother in fictional [name]Rowan[/name], [name]MO[/name]
- falls in love with a homeless boy who comes to live at the house
- snobby at first towards character 2
Character 2:
- homeless boy
- falls in love with character one
Character 3:
- character one’s boyfriend
- possibly bipolar
- extremely jealous
Character 4:
- kind
- character one’s mother
Thanks you guys!
Your story sounds interesting, and I think that the names should ring true to the times, but maybe more obscure. I’m using the top names from the 1910s/1920s for the younger characters, and names from the 1890s/1900s for the mother.
Character [name]One[/name]: [name]Alice[/name], [name]Virginia[/name], [name]Florence[/name], [name]Louise[/name], [name]Mary[/name], [name]Ruth[/name], [name]Martha[/name], [name]Theresa[/name], [name]Genevieve[/name], [name]Mae[/name], [name]Mabel[/name]
Character Two: [name]Clifford[/name], [name]Chester[/name], [name]Edwin[/name], [name]Walter[/name], [name]Edgar[/name], [name]Louis[/name], [name]Arthur[/name], [name]William[/name]
Character Three: [name]Frederick[/name], [name]Howard[/name], [name]Hermann[/name], [name]Flynn[/name], [name]Morris[/name], [name]Wilbur[/name], [name]Cecil[/name], [name]Marvin[/name]
Character Four: [name]Pearl[/name], [name]Edith[/name], [name]Nellie[/name], [name]Frances[/name], [name]Beulah[/name], [name]Catherine[/name], [name]Georgia[/name], [name]Flora[/name], [name]Lucille[/name], [name]Ida[/name], [name]Rose[/name]
