I need help coming up with a name for my character’s wife in my story. She was born in 1988 and is a gold-digger. She works as a jeweler and is very cold-hearted. I was going to name her [name]Tiffany[/name] but I thought that was too cliche. Her middle name is [name]Delphine[/name] and her surname is Wilcox. Her Husband is named [name]John[/name] [name]Felix[/name] Wilcox. I’d appreciate your help.

In 1980-s, many names were used so you don’t have to go with [name]Tiffany[/name] or [name]Chelsea[/name]. What about…
[name]Sarah[/name]
[name]Elisabeth[/name]
[name]Taylor[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name]
[name]Catherine[/name]
[name]Caitlin[/name]
[name]Ashlyn[/name]
[name]Cecelia[/name]
[name]Rae[/name]
[name]Alice[/name]
[name]Alison[/name]
[name]Lauren[/name]
[name]Leigh[/name]
[name]Alexis[/name]
[name]Robin[/name]
[name]Gemma[/name]
[name]Olivia[/name]

[name]Melissa[/name] was the first name I thought of. But other names that are very 80’s to me are [name]Michelle[/name], [name]Jessica[/name], [name]Jennifer[/name], [name]Sarah[/name], [name]Heather[/name], [name]Britney[/name], [name]Alexis[/name]

The first name that came to mind was [name]Ashley[/name].
I cannot imagine that too many girls born in '88 have the middle name [name]Delphine[/name]…

[name]Ashley[/name]
[name]Heather[/name]
[name]Brittany[/name]
[name]Samantha[/name]
[name]Lauren[/name]
[name]Casey[/name]
[name]Amber[/name]
[name]Erica[/name]
[name]Jessica[/name]
[name]Amanda[/name]
[name]Christina[/name]
[name]Sarah[/name]
[name]Emily[/name]
[name]Melissa[/name]

I don’t think either of their middle names seem very realistic.
