Name for Best Friend Character

Writers' Corner
1

Hello everybody!

I’m new to Nameberry, and I’m an amateur writer. Currently, I’m thinking up details for a new work-in-progress. So far, I’ve got the main character’s name, the villain’s name, the general plot, and setting. The story takes place in an alternate reality of [name_u]California[/name_u], where aliens and intergalactic travel are completely common/normal. However, I cannot think of a good first name for the main character’s best friend. Here are some traits-

Last name - Diamandis
Age - 17
Appearance - light brown skin, dark hair in dreadlocks, always smiling, very pretty
Personality - Sweet, friendly, kind, funny

So far I’ve come up with somewhat similar names (they all start with N), like [name_f]Nia[/name_f], [name_f]Nadia[/name_f], [name_f]Natasha[/name_f], and [name_f]Natalia[/name_f]. But I can’t really choose between those, and I also don’t love any of them. Any ideas for a potential name for this character? :slight_smile:

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] there!

[name_m]How[/name_m] about:

Nadara
[name_f]Naia[/name_f]
[name_f]Nera[/name_f]

Or, if you’re open to names that don’t begin with N:

[name_f]Lyra[/name_f]
[name_f]Tessa[/name_f]
[name_f]Livia[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelie[/name_f]
[name_f]Emilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Avani[/name_f]
[name_f]Alisa[/name_f]
[name_f]Kaia[/name_f]
[name_f]Eula[/name_f]
[name_f]Georgia[/name_f]
Serefina
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f]

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helped!

Out of your options, I think [name_f]Nia[/name_f] fits best :slight_smile:
