I am writing about a girl who works for a lingerie brand. I’ve already named her [name]Kelsey[/name], but I decided to include some other girls- her co-workers. As all models, they are skinny, long-haired and stunningly beautiful. I have got some name ideas for them but if you could tell me your opinion and suggestions, that would be great:)
So…:
[name]Mackenzie[/name] - blue-eyed shy blond, she is still very young(19-22) but talented. She needs a uncommon middle name, I thought maybe [name]Randall[/name]? Any ideas?
Amanika [Needs Last Name] - she is from Kenya [/name] and speaks Swahili at home. She is such a femme fatale and tries to flirt with main character’s SO.
[name]Georgia[/name]
[name]London[/name]
[name]Leighton[/name]
[name]Ayla[/name]/[name]Isla[/name]
[name]Skyla[/name]
[name]Tabitha[/name]
[name]Nova[/name]/[name]Neva[/name]
[name]Linnea[/name]
[name]Imogene[/name]
[name]Vivienne[/name]
[name]Bronwen[/name]
[name]Winifred[/name]
[name]Olive[/name]
[name]Blakely[/name]
[name]Lake[/name]/Lakelyn
And last names:[name]Livingston[/name], Hicks, [name]Beckett[/name], [name]Shannon[/name], [name]Perry[/name], Levine, [name]Sullivan[/name].
Any help would be wonderful. I also would like some ideas: which names make you think of models?(not already used). Thanks a lot and sorry for bad English.
[name]How[/name] much research have you done on modeling and lingerie models? The more you do, the easier it can be.
What kind of lingerie are they wearing? Is like Aerie? Or [name]Victoria[/name]'s [name]Secret[/name]?
[name]Young[/name] for a lingerie model is more like 16-17, definitely not 19-22. [name]Barbara[/name] Palvin who is the newest VS [name]Angel[/name] is 18, but she was modeling lingerie before that.
South Africans do not speak Swahili, unless they’re originally from a different country that does. Afrikaans is the language of S.A.
Model like names to me are: [name]London[/name], [name]Leighton[/name], [name]Isla[/name], [name]Nova[/name], [name]Bronwen[/name].
You could also try looking at the types of names in the modeling world already, the models I know of are named:
[name]Cara[/name], [name]Alessandra[/name], [name]Adriana[/name], [name]Karolina[/name], [name]Gemma[/name], [name]Lily[/name], [name]Kate[/name], [name]Candice[/name], [name]Chanel[/name], Selita, [name]Izabel[/name], [name]Barbara[/name], [name]Rosie[/name], [name]Erin[/name], [name]Behati[/name]. (Bolded ones are lingerie models)
[name]Mackenzie[/name] [name]Randall[/name] is a nice name. Not super striking but it could work
Amanika Bohlman? Huth?
[name]Ayla[/name]/[name]Isla[/name] - I like this one as a model name
[name]Nova[/name]/[name]Neva[/name] - [name]Nova[/name] could also work well
Others:
[name]Magdalena[/name], [name]Siri[/name], [name]Olga[/name], [name]Cassia[/name], [name]Gemma[/name], [name]Freja[/name], [name]Ines[/name], [name]Daria[/name], [name]Anja[/name], [name]Sasha[/name]
check out this site, lots of up and coming models with some discussion of them
I agree with all this. Also, 19-22 is old in the modelling world, and most of the girls are young teenagers from poor Eastern European countries.
I don’t pretend to know a lot about the modeling world, but I do believe lingerie modeling is slightly different in terms of age and preferred body type than haute couture modeling. For the latter, augusta is right-- they tend to start as 13-15yos and most come from [name]Russia[/name] and Eastern Europe. Lingerie models are a bit older and more voluptuous, so I think it’s perfectly plausible that the cohort would be in their late teens to mid twenties.
However, the names you selected sound like a local cheerleading squad rather than a cadre of glamorous international models. I would focus on the sorts of names that east93 listed-- feminine, Slavic/Italianate type names.
Middles for [name]Mackenzie[/name]:
[name]Starling[/name]
[name]Wren[/name]
[name]Magnolia[/name]
[name]River[/name]
[name]Rowan[/name]
[name]Ellis[/name]
[name]Ellery[/name]
[name]Waverly[/name]
Best model names:
[name]London[/name] [name]Beckett[/name]
[name]Leighton[/name] [name]Perry[/name]
[name]Isla[/name] [name]Livingston[/name]
[name]Tabitha[/name] Levine
[name]Nova[/name] [name]Sullivan[/name]
[name]Vivienne[/name] Hicks
Some of the names sound a little “average american” to me. [name]Sullivan[/name] and Hicks especially sound southern.
Lingerie models are usually in their twenties, and are not skinny, they need a nice shape and some fat (haha) on their bodies, they’re supposed to look appealing without clothes on. And they’re meant to look attractive to straight men as well. ([name]Tyra[/name] [name]Banks[/name], [name]Heidi[/name] Klum, [name]Adriana[/name] Lima and so on.)
Sorry if I was wrong, I am very far from model world:) And is 19 too old for lingerie model? I thought it was alright if she is already famous.
The lingerie brand is not like 100% VS, it specializes in photo shoots more than in fashion shows I think. And some of the girls also work for other brands(I don’t know if it’s possible?).
Thank you ladies for the suggestions, I am a new namer so I don’t know much about name history or styles. Your tips and suggestions were big help:)
And @blade: I am actually very familiar with Slavic names, I just didn’t knew if I should use them. Thanks!
Any other ideas? I now have a list of [name]Leighton[/name] [name]Perry[/name], [name]Isla[/name] [name]Beckett[/name], [name]Neva[/name] [needs last name], Amanika[needs Swahili last name], [name]Yana[/name]/[name]Dana[/name] Ostrovskaja, [name]Natalia[/name] “[name]Natasha[/name]” [name]Levina[/name], [name]Bianca[/name]/[name]Beatrice[/name]/[name]Viviana[/name]/[name]Giorgia[/name] [name]Salvatore/name, [name]Luna[/name] [name]Hernandez[/name]/Alvarez (Mexican/South [name]America[/name]), [name]Eleanora[/name] Weigel([name]German[/name]), Beatrissa/[name]Teodora[/name]/[name]Janina[/name] Adamski(Polish), [name]Schuyler[/name]/[name]Beatrix[/name] [name]Jenssen[/name]/[name]Linden/name. WDYT? [name]Do[/name] they sound good enough for models?
