Thank you for all the excellent help naming [name_f]Miriam[/name_f]! I didn’t expect that thread to get so big, but it was an enormous help! Now I have one other request, to name her male counterpart.
Genre of [name_u]Story[/name_u]: [name_u]Drama[/name_u]
Time Period/Location: Modern day [name_u]America[/name_u]
Brief Plot: Woman, [name_f]Miriam[/name_f]- raised in a [name_m]Christian[/name_m] cult emphasizing patriarchy, homeschooling, isolation, and childbearing- marries a young man with a similar background and the two of them begin their own families and become exposed to new ideas, leading to a radicalization of their worldview and lifestyle, recognizing the true damage of their religious upbringings.
Character Description: [name_m]Young[/name_m] man around 19/20, raised under the teachings of a conservative [name_m]Christian[/name_m] cult. Experiences emotional, physical, and spiritual abuse. A carpenter by trade and student as a [name_m]Christian[/name_m] college, interested in science and philosophy. Kind-hearted and empathetic, struggles with the concept of being “[name_m]King[/name_m]” of the household. He is insecure and damaged from a childhood of abuse.
Immediate Family: Mother named [name_f]Dawn[/name_f], lots of siblings.
[name_m]Don[/name_m]’t Suggest These Names: Anything starting with an M or a J (M is a scheme in [name_f]Miriam[/name_f]'s family, and I’m avoiding having lots of J names because it’s too Duggar), preferably Biblical name, nickname potential is a plus.
