They are all in theirs 20s and its set in [name_m]New[/name_m] [name_m]York[/name_m] sometime before the great depression
Alright, taking into account their ages and timeframe, here’s some names that could be fitting for a group of this category:
Potential girl names:
-Elizabeth (possible nicknames include ‘Eliza’, ‘Beth’, ‘Betty’, ‘Lizzy’, etc.)
-Helen.
-Emma.

-Clara.
-Alice.

-Sylvester.
-Cornelius.
-Jasper.
-Aaron.
-Clayton (nickname is ‘Clay’).
Given that this was the 1920s, gender-neutral names were obviously a lot less common, but here’s a few names I was able to dig up from that time period that are historically unisex or are considered unisex by modern standards:
-Glen/Glenn.
-Sydney.
-Frankie.
-Jesse/Jessie.
-Francis.
-Leslie.
-Fern.
-Virgie.
Potential surnames for any of the characters:
-Mortimer (translates to “dead sea”, so pretty good for a murder mystery).
-Montgomery.
-McCormick.
-McConnell.
-Nightingale.
-Jamison.
-Williams.
-Smith.
-Maguire/McGuire.
-Taylor.
-Anderson.
-Wilson.
-Campbell.
-Mitchell.
-Evans.
-Edwards.
-Murphy.
-Patterson.
-Richardson.
-Hamilton.
-Harrison.
-Kennedy.
-Webb/Webber.
-Webster.
-Hoffman.
That’s all I got for now! Hope this list helps you at all!
