[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone! I’m looking for first names for characters in my novel. The main character is [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] (goes by “Emmie”) and 14-15, and I need names for an older sister who’s adventurous and funny (age 17) and an older brother (age 17), and also a female friend who’s brave but caring (age 15). It’s realistic fiction, so I’d like the names to be semi-typical or something you’d find in real life, but you can be creative. I also don’t have any last names yet — I’ll think of some once I’ve got all the first names down. Thanks so much in advance!
I’m assuming the older siblings are twins, so I’m going to try to make sure those names sound super good together. So, them first:
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] (Charlie or Lottie) and [name_m]Oliver[/name_m] (Ollie)
[name_f]Clarisse[/name_f] (Clare) and [name_u]Maxwell[/name_u] (Max)
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] (Matty, [name_f]Tilly[/name_f], or Tilda) and [name_m]Frederick[/name_m] (Fred, [name_u]Freddy[/name_u], Freddie)
[name_f]Lucille[/name_f] (Lucy, [name_u]Lux[/name_u], or Luz) and [name_m]Edmund[/name_m] (Eddy)
For the friend:
[name_f]Kendra[/name_f]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_u]Remy[/name_u]
[name_f]Renee[/name_f]
[name_f]Marina[/name_f]
(These are just some suggestions and, if you like a name, you can use it for any character. The sibling names could certainly be mixed up, a name for the friend could be used for the sister and vice versa, etc.)
