I know that there’s a writers forum, and I posted on there as well, but it’s not as frequented so I decided to put up my post on this forum in addition to that one.
So long story short, this little girl ends up getting adopted around 3 years old and adoptive mom (she’s single, so no dad) moves her birth names into the middle spot, but is changing her first name so the birth family can’t find her and so she had a part in naming her. Middle names will be [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] ([name_m]Hooper[/name_m] or Collett might also be in there as a third middle - so it would be ___ [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f]Audrey[/name_f] [name_m]Hooper[/name_m]/Collett [name_m]Dalton[/name_m] - but right now I’m leaning against doing that) and surname will be [name_m]Dalton[/name_m]. Actually, I might be replacing Audrey with something else because I really don’t like the flow of Jane Audrey (especially anything with I put in front of Jane Audrey), but it’s the only one that feels right so far.
I uploaded the character inspiration pictures I’m working off of - kind of her throughout the years. Still working out her personality, but she will be a genuinely kind person, I do know that, and will have similar qualities to that of her adoptive mother (but I’m thinking more introverted).
Since people’s given names are more a reflection of the parents personality than the child’s, adoptive mom is outgoing, comforting, easy-going, kind, loving, helpful, fun, calm under pressure, everyone’s mom/big sister, down-to-earth, gentle, compassionate, real, funny without being mean, truthful, doesn’t take herself too seriously, but serious when need be, trustworthy, free spirited, amazing with kids, great at drawing people out, meets people where they are, very well liked by everyone, peaceful, but can stand up for herself, can fit in anywhere, always been mature for her age & just kind of knows what’s up, really smart, but not a know-it-all, timeless, has a lot of baggage (but doesn’t let it consume or define her), and hardworking. [name_m]Just[/name_m] a really lovely person all the way around.
Character inspiration pictures:
(around the time she gets adopted)
(school age)
(as young adult)
(and a little older than before)
Right now I’m thinking [name_f]Celia[/name_f] or [name_f]Eulalie[/name_f], but I’m not sure. I think I want something very easy sounding.
