Deleted. Not getting much traffic through here and I don’t want the plot for my story just sitting out online. Thanks for the help
Any help? Anyone?
Are you looking for traditional names, or more whismy/eclectic names? I’ll just go with my gut and you can let me know if I’m nearing what you were thinking of…
For the mom: [name]Cornelia[/name]. She really, really, sounds like a [name]Cornelia[/name]. Other ideas: [name]Nell[/name], Meirda, [name]Penelope[/name], [name]Arden[/name], [name]Willow[/name], [name]Willa[/name], [name]Helena[/name], [name]IMogen[/name], [name]Jessamine[/name], Clemeintime, [name]Eugenia[/name]/[name]Eugenie[/name], [name]Sylvia[/name]/[name]Sylvie[/name], [name]Sybil[/name].
For the Dad: [name]Clive[/name]. This name just makes me think of some old school dirt-bag. Other ideas: [name]Grant[/name], [name]Arlo[/name], [name]Caspian[/name], [name]Carlisle[/name], [name]Oscar[/name], [name]Irving[/name], [name]Rhett[/name], [name]Linus[/name], [name]Eugene[/name], [name]Theodore[/name], [name]Edwin[/name], [name]Ernest[/name]
Garden Maiden: Nothing immediatly came to my mind, but here are a few ideas: [name]Satine[/name], [name]Poppy[/name], [name]Lavender[/name], [name]Jemima[/name], [name]Florence[/name], [name]Theresa[/name]
I hope that helps! Good luck with your writing!

I don’t want traditional because they sound to familiar. I want names that sound like they could be from another world which is why I chose names like [name]Kenda[/name] and Amadahy for the main characters. They don’t sound entirely made up and they’re real names with history but they’re different and exotic enough to belong to another world.
I sort of like Satine for the Garden Mistress. I think it’s just different enough to work. I’ll file that one away as a possibility. For the mother, Merida might work. It sounds exotic enough to be otherwordly(?) I think but it’s not a definite. I like clive but it’s too…earthy sounding if that makes sense.
