[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone,
I’m currently working on a story about two teenage friends in Oklahoma, over the course of one day in their lives. They’ve grown up with each other, and while it wasn’t my original intent to imply romance, there’s some of that going on too. The timeframe is ambiguous, i.e. cell phones and other tech things aren’t mentioned, but it’s known that it’s set in a modern era.
Neither of my main characters have last names at this point, but I think that will come once I have set first and middle names. I came up with [name_m]Mark[/name_m] [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] for the male character (yes, kind of a nod to [name_m]Mark[/name_m] [name_m]Twain[/name_m]), but I have no idea what to name my female character. The female character is mixed race (White/Native American) and a little fiery and tough but altogether very sweet and loving. I want something as simple as [name_m]Mark[/name_m] [name_m]Samuel[/name_m] is for her, but I feel like female names are notoriously harder for me to figure out.
I was originally thinking of [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] for her, but I’m not sure if it’s too strong of a name or not. I also like [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]. Any ideas?
Some simple names for a fiery but sweet girl… hmm. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you want something more feminine or unisex?

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps!
Simple like [name_m]Mark[/name_m]…timeless…fiery but sweet…
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] - was my first thought
[name_f]Lucy[/name_f] - is a bit more fiery
[name_f]Clara[/name_f] - slight nod toward [name_m]Clemens[/name_m]
[name_f]Wendy[/name_f] - has a very fresh and childlike flair to me
[name_f]Rosie[/name_f] - sweet but spunky
Thank you guys so much! Those suggestions are helpful, and I’ll have to think about them!
I’m thinking about using Givens for her last name, so anything y’all think would fit with that name would be great.
[name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_u]Aubrey[/name_u]
[name_f]Bridget[/name_f]
[name_f]Savanna[/name_f]
[name_f]Elise[/name_f]
[name_u]Haley[/name_u]
[name_f]Natalie[/name_f]
[name_f]Jenna[/name_f]
[name_f]Danielle[/name_f]
[name_f]Lizzy[/name_f]
[name_f]Libby[/name_f]
[name_f]Cleo[/name_f]
[name_f]Mckenna[/name_f]
[name_u]Britton[/name_u]
I think all these names go well with the last name Givens.
You mention she’s native American, what about Aponi? It means butterfly, I think.
