Name for a mother?

I’m currently writing a story (tbh, I’ve been writing this story for almost seven years now) and I have always been fumbling with a particular character’s name.

In the novel, right from the beginning you know she’s passed. She’s the protagonists mother. She’s [name_m]French[/name_m], her parents were very proper people so perhaps a regal like name? However she’s very bohemian like herself so maybe a wacky/quirky nn? The protagonists name is [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], if that helps.

[name_f]Do[/name_f] character visual help? If so here is a run-down;

  • [name_u]Red[/name_u] hair
  • Chubby face
  • Constantly smiling
  • [name_u]Green[/name_u] eyes
  • She has a very loose, colourful and patch work of Boho style.

Thank you in advance!

xoxo, [name_f]Farrah[/name_f]

What names have you tried in the past?

Oh, sorry! I completely forgot to add them into the original post. The names I used before are [name_f]Bridgitte[/name_f] and [name_f]Arlette[/name_f].

[name_f]My[/name_f] first thought was [name_f]Sylvie[/name_f]. Or maybe [name_f]Esme[/name_f], [name_f]Fleur[/name_f], [name_f]Mathilde[/name_f] or [name_f]Margot[/name_f]?

[name_f]Regal[/name_f] sounding (sometimes) [name_m]French[/name_m] names:

[name_f]Claudette[/name_f]
[name_f]Anoushka[/name_f]
[name_f]Adrienne[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleonore[/name_f]
[name_f]Celestine[/name_f]
[name_f]Delphine[/name_f]

I really love [name_f]Delphine[/name_f]! Ancient history has a soft spot in my heart, especially Greek. However, the main male protagonist names starts with D and I’m really trying to stay away from same lettered/similar names for important characters.

Lol ok. In future could you use the forms in the ‘help’ section tacked to the top of the forum? It might help avoid issues like this.

I’m on my phone and I can’t find a help button, however, I’ll do that when I can get to a computer.

Oh, no, I found it! I’ll just read through it now :slight_smile:
