The genre is urban fantasy, I suppose. The time is the present. The characters would have been born in 1998 or 1999 or so. They live in western [name_m]Washington[/name_m].
Character One is a girl. She’s small, both in height and in build. I’ve considered the names [name_f]Arabelle[/name_f] and [name_f]Ariane[/name_f] for her, and have no last name. Her mother’s parents are Norwegian, and both sides of her father’s family have been in the US for over two hundred years. She’s an only child. Character One loves to read and write and plans on being a journalist. She’s often quite sassy, and is easily irritated. She loves to run, and is in track and cross-country. I’m looking for a somewhat elaborate, classic name that isn’t very common, but is still known.
Character Two is a boy, and the friend of Character One. He’s of average height and build, and is something of a nerd. He loves video games, and takes many advanced classes in school. His family is very, very Catholic, and he’s the youngest of five siblings. I’ve considered the names [name_m]Felix[/name_m], [name_m]Jacob[/name_m], [name_u]Noah[/name_u], and [name_m]Benjamin[/name_m] nn [name_m]Ben[/name_m]. He’s more patient than Character One, and plans on going into engineering or something like that. I’m looking for a common, classic name.
