I have a different story, but I’m doing backgrounds of the parents in that one. It’s a modern-type realistic fiction thingy, so they were born 1970-ish.
This family has a mother who is a botanist, and owns a little flower shop. They are kind of hippies, but more in the nature-y part than the naked and doing drugs part. The little shop has been passed down since the late 1800s. This woman’s name is [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] Jacobs (maiden name is [name_m]Blanchard[/name_m], the shop is called [name_m]Blanchard[/name_m]'s Blossoms.) Her husband is [name_m]Edward[/name_m] Jacobs.
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] has 6 daughters-
[name_f]Ginger[/name_f]
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u]- my main character’s mother
[name_f]Lavender[/name_f] “Ender”
[name_u]Harmony[/name_u]
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u] “[name_u]June[/name_u]”/“[name_f]Junie[/name_f]”
???
The last one will be twins with [name_u]Harmony[/name_u]. I was thinking [name_f]Marigold[/name_f]? Not sure though. Other characters (not all hippies) [most aren’t too big] -
[name_u]Skylar[/name_u]
[name_u]Linden[/name_u]
[name_u]River[/name_u]
[name_u]Darby[/name_u]
[name_u]Harper[/name_u]
[name_m]Cyrus[/name_m]
[name_f]Melody[/name_f]
[name_u]Noah[/name_u]
[name_f]Emily[/name_f]
I was born in that era. The only names on your potentials list that I heard when I was growing up are [name_f]Melody[/name_f] and [name_u]Noah[/name_u]. Some other nature-y names I remember are [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], [name_f]Fawn[/name_f], [name_f]Bambi[/name_f], [name_f]Doe[/name_f], [name_m]Buck[/name_m], [name_f]Coral[/name_f], [name_f]Crystal[/name_f], and [name_u]Sunny[/name_u] (three of those are my cousins).
Thanks! Most of my list is the more modern people. This is the mother’s family, just to have background. I’m sure there weren’t many [name_u]Darby[/name_u]'s in the 70s! I like [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]. And I kind of like [name_f]Sunshine[/name_f], so [name_u]Sunny[/name_u] is pretty awesome. Thanks for your help!
what about [name_m]Forrest[/name_m] & [name_f]Summer[/name_f]? they make a lovely sibset! hippie but not to hippie, both nature related and i think they were a thing in the 70s
