The final exam for my British Literature class includes a writing section that we are allowed to write in advance. One of the assignments is a creative writing piece (yay!) that uses elements from one of the pieces that we read in class this semester. I got a little excited and I have already chosen the work I’m basing my story off of and the elements I’m going to use.
I’m planning to do a romantic quest like the one in Sir [name_m]Gawain[/name_m] and the [name_u]Green[/name_u] [name_m]Knight[/name_m]. It’s fine if you haven’t read it and there’s no reason for you to in order to help me. In a fun turn of events, I was playing around with a potential romantic partner for one of my characters in a novel I’m working on currently and I’m going to use this assignment as a “test run” for this potential love interest.
Genre of [name_u]Story[/name_u]: [name_f]Fantasy[/name_f], romance
Time Period/Location: Another world based loosely off of medieval Europe
Character Description: She’s not very fleshed out yet but I picture her as strong, somewhat blunt, confident (sometimes to a fault), and fearless, but is also organized and a careful planner. She’s around 20 years old.
For some reason, I’m really loving a [name_m]French[/name_m] name for this character. I like the sophistication that a [name_m]French[/name_m] name would bring but also the strength they have. The name doesn’t have to be [name_m]French[/name_m] but all of the names I’ve considered have been.
Names I’m considering/already considered:
[name_u]Simone[/name_u] and [name_f]Camille[/name_f] (don’t seem quite right)
[name_f]Colette[/name_f] (may use on another character but is still on the table)
[name_f]Cosette[/name_f] and [name_f]Josette[/name_f] (probably too cutesy)
[name_f]Celine[/name_f] (still on the table)
[name_f]Sabine[/name_f] (current favorite)
The name can’t end with an “uh” sound because I have a lot of characters who have names like this. Also hoping to avoid names that start with “M” for the same reason. If it helps, her love interest is named [name_f]Naiara[/name_f].
Thank you so much!
