Need fresh ideas for the characters names for novel I am writing

I would love some fresh ideas for character’s names for the current novel I am writing. I am already set on the names for the male love interests.

Main Character (33): She is tall, has blonde hair and blue eyes. She dreams of being a novelist but is also a perfectionist and extremely critical of her work. She has a lot of self-doubt. She was brought up in a dysfunctional family, although she is very close to her grandmother. Her relationship with her mother is precarious. She met [name_u]Andy[/name_u], her best friend 8 years ago at a concert she attended with her boyfriend at the time. She is in love with him. But he doesn’t want to take their relationship to a romantic level.

Main character’s best female friend: She is also blonde with blue eyes. People always think she and the main character are sisters. She is the owner of a successful restaurant. She is flirty, has had many relationships but never to the point of something serious. She is very competitive and out-spoken.

Mother to the main character: Is an alcoholic that has spent time in rehab. She lies to her kids to cover up her relapse. She is the only child of a very rich entrepreneur, but her parents have nothing to do with her because of the man she married. She is very judgmental and condescending. She is paranoid that her husband is having an affair and she is obsessed with taking diet pills to retain her figure.

Father to the main character: He has long brown, wavy hair that he wears tied up. He is a prepper and is building a bunker in the basement of his house. He reads survivalist books and watches The Walking Dead TV series as if it’s a documentary. He has convinced his female neighbor to put a panic room in her house and is spending a lot if time over there. His daughter (the main character) is worried about his sanity.)

Older brother (35): Is a movie stunt double. He only dates models. His mother makes it clear she disapproves.

Younger sister (26): She has bright pink hair that falls down to her jaw line on one side. The other side is shaved. She was kicked out of home when she was 16 and hasn’t spoken to her parents since. She has just returned to her home town after living in [name_u]London[/name_u] for a few years after she split from her long term partner.

Male friend of main character: Has always been close to main character since they were young. He has dark unkempt hair. He is tall and broad shouldered. He has a son called [name_m]Brody[/name_m] (which is a name I’m not 100% sure about) and is an advertising executive. He is very good friends with [name_u]Andy[/name_u] and also becomes good mates with the main characters new love interest.

[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps! Good luck! :slight_smile:

Thank you!

I would use the name [name_f]Amy[/name_f] if it wasn’t my name. I like [name_f]Erin[/name_f] but I have used that name for a character in another book. I also like [name_f]Natalie[/name_f].

At the moment the f/friend is [name_f]Anna[/name_f], if I change it I will still use ‘[name_f]Anna[/name_f]’ for another character.
I like [name_m]Jackson[/name_m] for the older brother. And I like [name_u]Ashley[/name_u] for the sister but I’m trying to stay away from too many ‘A’ names. (The male lead is [name_u]Andy[/name_u]). [name_f]Lacey[/name_f] fits though.
[name_u]Ryan[/name_u] is the other love interest. At the moment the m/friends name is [name_u]Chris[/name_u] but I’m not sold.

[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_u]Jace[/name_u] for the male friend, and [name_f]Aria[/name_f] for the main? [name_f]Jillian[/name_f] is good for the friend, and the sister can be [name_f]Kiera[/name_f]. Mom can be [name_f]Johanna[/name_f], dad can be [name_m]Austin[/name_m], brother can be [name_m]Asher[/name_m]. [name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps!

Thanks. I have some new ideas. [name_f]Jillian[/name_f] is a family name so I cant use it. I love the name [name_m]Austin[/name_m] but I cant see it on a 57 yr old man. LOL. I have used [name_f]Joanna[/name_f] for the wife/mother of another book. :slight_smile:
