hi.
i’ve returned to a previous story, so yeah.
it’s the future, after we’ve screwed up the atmosphere so bad the radiation from the sun destroys our planet. most people migrated to mars, but some stayed behind and Wandered.
My character is a Wanderer, around nineteen, and has two companions. [name_m]Ichabod[/name_m] and [name_f]Bathsheba[/name_f]. [name_m]Ichabod[/name_m] is a dog and [name_f]Bathsheba[/name_f] a cat. Her love interest is [name_m]Abraham[/name_m], nn [name_m]Abe[/name_m]. I was going to use [name_f]Saskia[/name_f], but it doesn’t feel right anymore. Any ideas?
ps. I love using ironically vintage/old fashioned/bibical names for futuristic characters because it’s fun and fits, amirite?
edit:
i wasn’t getting anythin on the writing board so here goes.
This might not be much help, but [name_f]Saffron[/name_f] to me has a nice image and reminds me of [name_f]Saskia[/name_f]. Or, this is a bit of a stretch, but [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f]? [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] has a very vintage sound, and the science fiction setting gives the name a new angle. And [name_f]Alaska[/name_f] doesn’t strike me as an old-fashioned name, but it does have a similar sound to [name_f]Saskia[/name_f] as well.
vintage, old fashioned and biblical - how about [name_f]Martha[/name_f]? [name_f]Ruth[/name_f]? [name_f]Rachel[/name_f]? Or just plain [name_f]Mary[/name_f]?
dipper’s suggestion [name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] is also great!
