https://nameberry.com/nametalk/threads/121386-Naming-top-models - original post, now thinking further.
All the girls work for a lingerie/swimsuit brand like [name]Victoria[/name] [name]Secret[/name], come from different countries, age 17-20(some are older and already famous). The telling will include quotations/pieces from their diares/blogs, so I need that loads of charcters.
I now have a list of(* means the model is already well-known and needs absolutely stunning name)
[name]Leighton[/name] [name]Perry[/name]/other last name *
[name]Isla[/name] [name]Beckett[/name]
[name]Neva[/name] Moretti/other last name
Amanika [needs Swahili last name] ([name]Kenyan[/name])*
[name]Yana[/name]/[name]Dana[/name] Ostrovskaja (Russian)
[name]Sofia[/name]/[name]Larissa[/name] “[name]Lara[/name]”/[name]Angelina[/name] “Gelya” [name]Levina/name
[name]Bianca[/name]/[name]Beatrice[/name]/[name]Viviana[/name]/[name]Giorgia[/name] [name]Salvatore[/name]/[name]Di[/name] [name]Lorenzo[/name]/(Italian)*
Talis/[name]Tahlia[/name] Silversmith(American)
[name]Alexis[/name] [name]Livingston[/name]/[name]Tyler[/name]/[name]Whitley/name
[name]Luna[/name] [name]Hernandez[/name]/Alvarez (Mexican/South American)
[name]Eleanora[/name] Weigel/ other last name([name]German[/name])
[name]Bronwen[/name]/[name]Gwendolen[/name]/[name]Arianwen[/name] “Rhi” Swancott/Rheese(Welsh)
Beatrissa/[name]Teodora[/name]/[name]Janina[/name] Adamski(Polish)*
[name]Schuyler[/name]/[name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Jenssen[/name]/[name]Linden/name*
[name]Carmela[/name]/[name]Aviela[/name]/[name]Noa[/name] [name]Jordan/name
WDYT? [name]Do[/name] they sound good and enough for models or should I keep searching for more unique ones?(well, I think they are people too…And may have some common names). Any advice would be great, sorry I am so long.
P.S. Please excuse my bad English:)
I like a lot of the name a lot, except for Silversmith.
I feel like the ethnicites are bit too varying though.
From my count, there are 15 models altogether:
2 American
3 Unknown
1 [name]Kenyan[/name]
2 Russian
1 Italian
1 South American
1 [name]German[/name]
1 Welsh
1 Polish
1 Dutch
1 Israeli
So at least 11 different ethnic backgrouds. It feels like a lot for a book. I think it’d be better if there were fewer. For example, instead of Welsh, Polish, Dutch and [name]German[/name], just pick one from that group and add the other 3 to a different ethnic group. Also, it’d be smart to include a few Brazilians in the mix, many of the top models in the world are Brazilian. I think it’d give a more realistically accurate feel. 
Thank you, east93:)
What if instead of Mexican model include Brazilian? I thought about it, but still not sure, maybe Brazilia is associated with [name]Gisele[/name] Budchen(sp?) in modeling world too much?
Anyway, I think I won’t write much about their ethic backgrounds, so nobody(except me!:)) will know it unless they are familiar with name’s and last name’s history/background.
At least, I feel like I’d like to keep Russian and American girls’ names - I really love them:)
I think switching out the Mexican for the Brazilian is a good option. [name]Adriana[/name] Lima, [name]Alessandra[/name] [name]Ambrosio[/name], [name]Izabel[/name] Goulart are other very popular Brazilian models, so the ethnicity isn’t tied to just [name]Gisele[/name].
Ahhh, okay, that makes it all much simpler then! I think Russian and American is fine, there’s a good mix there. 
Here are some of my ideas:
I now have a list of(* means the model is already well-known and needs absolutely stunning name)
[name]Leighton[/name] (It’d change her name to [name]Pierre[/name] or Duval)
[name]Isla[/name] [name]Beckett[/name]
[name]Neva[/name] Castellano
Amanika Oyoo
[name]Yana[/name] Ostrovskaja ([name]Dana[/name] isn’t a popular name in [name]Russia[/name], use [name]Yana[/name] or [name]Daria[/name], Ostrovskaja isn’t that an easy surname better use Fadeev/Safronov)
[name]Sofia[/name]/[name]Larissa[/name] “[name]Lara[/name]”/[name]Angelina[/name] “Gelya” [name]Levina[/name] (I like the [name]Lara[/name] [name]Levina[/name] combination)
[name]Bianca[/name]/[name]Beatrice[/name]/[name]Viviana[/name]/[name]Giorgia[/name] [name]Salvatore[/name]/[name]Di[/name] [name]Lorenzo[/name]/([name]Bianca[/name] Balti is a very popular italian model so don’t use [name]Bianca[/name], the other names are fine)*
Talis/[name]Tahlia[/name] Silversmith(American) - it’s fine
[name]Alexis[/name] [name]Livingston[/name]/[name]Tyler[/name]/[name]Whitley/name - [name]Tyler[/name] is a bit of too simple last name, not noticible, [name]Rosie[/name] [name]Huntington[/name] [name]Whitley[/name] is too famous.
[name]Luna[/name] [name]Hernandez[/name]/Alvarez (Mexican/South American) - if you decide to make her brazilian, change her last name
[name]Eleanora[/name] Weigel/ other last name([name]German[/name]) - that one’s fine
[name]Bronwen[/name]/[name]Gwendolen[/name]/[name]Arianwen[/name] “Rhi” Swancott/Rheese(Welsh) - I like [name]Gwendolen[/name] and Aranwen
Beatrissa/[name]Teodora[/name]/[name]Janina[/name] Adamski(Polish)* - i’d use seomething less popular like [name]Bozena[/name]
[name]Schuyler[/name]/[name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Jenssen[/name]/[name]Linden/name* - hmmmm… doesn’t sound dutch to me
[name]Carmela[/name]/[name]Aviela[/name]/[name]Noa[/name] [name]Jordan/name - all three names are okay
Thank you! I will use your tips:) Now I need to look for some other Dutch and Polish names.
The only name I would like to stay without changes is [name]Dana[/name] Ostrovskaja, because I actually lived in [name]Russia[/name] and knew a few girls with the name [name]Dana[/name](I think it’s so beautiful:) and Ostrovskaja sounds so “rich”.
And what are some beautiful Brazilian last names? I can’t think of any:(
I like:
[name]Leighton[/name] [name]Perry[/name]
[name]Isla[/name] [name]Beckett[/name]
[name]Neva[/name] Moretti
Amanika ???
[name]Dana[/name] Ostrovskaja
[name]Larissa[/name] [name]Levina[/name]
[name]Giorgia[/name] [name]Di[/name] [name]Lorenzo[/name]
Talis Silversmith
[name]Alexis[/name] [name]Livingston[/name]
[name]Luna[/name] ???
[name]Eleanora[/name] Weigel
[name]Gwendolen[/name] Swancott
[name]Teodora[/name] Adamski
[name]Schuyler[/name] [name]Linden[/name]
[name]Aviela[/name] [name]Jordan[/name]
I’m not sure on last names for Amanika or [name]Luna[/name] because I don’t know any Swahili or Brazilian last names.
Thank you:)
Any other ideas? Please help me further:)
