New names for the slightly strange family of London

Writers' Corner

Now then Nameberries, I know some of you didn’t approve of some of the names I used previously for my characters so I have gone away and thought about it, my Characters were previously called

Mum: [name]Amanda[/name]
Dad: [name]Marcus[/name]
[name]Son[/name] 1: [name]Ruben[/name]
Daughter: [name]Tamsin[/name]
[name]Son[/name] 2: [name]Theo[/name]
[name]Son[/name] 3: [name]Joshua[/name]

But after lots of thinking I have come up with this, (if anyone has any other options for the names especially those of the parents I would be very grateful)

Mum: [name]Michelle[/name]
Dad: [name]Jeffrey[/name]
[name]Son[/name] 1: [name]Austin[/name]
Daughter: [name]Samantha[/name] “nn” [name]Sam[/name]
[name]Son[/name] 2: [name]Ryan[/name]
[name]Son[/name] 3: [name]Luke[/name]

Thanks a lot Nameberries also if anyone can think of middle names and a surname that would be great! :rolleyes: :confused: :smiley:

When you say [name]London[/name], do you mean [name]London[/name], [name]England[/name]? Is this set on modern times?

I think with names like [name]Ryan[/name], and [name]Austin[/name] it feels far more American. Same with [name]Samantha[/name], and [name]Michelle[/name].

Your first set fit better with [name]London[/name] place setting, than the second one.

Perhaps a blend:
Mum: [name]Amanda[/name] or [name]Miranda[/name]
Dad: [name]Jeffrey[/name]
[name]Son[/name] 1: [name]Ruben[/name]
Daughter: [name]Tamsin[/name] nn [name]Sam[/name] (works in my head), or [name]Samara[/name]
[name]Son[/name] 2: [name]Theo[/name]
[name]Son[/name] 3: [name]Luke[/name]

[name]Glad[/name] I could help. :slight_smile:

I actually think your original “family” sounded quite like an artistic [name]London[/name] family, I would not change [name]Tamsin[/name], [name]Reuben[/name] and [name]Joshua[/name].

suggestions for mom and dad: [name]Daisy[/name], [name]Emily[/name], [name]Lilias[/name], [name]Anoushka[/name] and [name]Gavin[/name], [name]Matt/name, [name]Dominic[/name].

sugeestions for third brother: [name]Ivo[/name], [name]Atticus[/name], [name]Hector[/name], [name]Jasper[/name].

I agree that the first family sound more British than the second. Here’s what I think would be the best combo of the two.

Mum: [name]Miranda[/name](like east93’s suggestion)
Dad: [name]Marcus[/name]

[name]Son[/name] 1: [name]Ruben[/name]
Daughter: [name]Samantha[/name]
[name]Son[/name] 2: [name]Theo[/name]
[name]Son[/name] 3: [name]Lucas[/name] (I think it sounds more classic than [name]Luke[/name], also more British)

I think I am decided and I have used all of your suggestions. My new family is…
Mum: [name]Miranda[/name]
Dad: [name]Jeffrey[/name]
[name]Son[/name] 1: [name]Ruben[/name]
Daughter: [name]Tamsin[/name] nn [name]Sam[/name], Tee or Tams
[name]Son[/name] 2: [name]Theo[/name]
[name]Son[/name] 3 [name]Lucas[/name]

Thanks nameberries for all your suggestions now then all I need is a surname
