Renaming 1 character + naming 2 sisters. Please help ASAP!

Genre of [name_u]Story[/name_u]: Disaster/Pandemic

Time Period/Location: Modern day [name_m]Portland[/name_m]

Brief Plot: A mutated virus spreads through the US, turning ordinary people into crazed killers, and several survivors in Oregon try to preserve their lives and their families.

Character 1:

Current Name: [name_m]Miles[/name_m]

[name_m]Reason[/name_m] for Change: It doesn’t feel right. I want something a little more masculine, but I don’t want a popular or overly common name. Something a little quirky, a little [name_m]Portland[/name_m], but strong and masculine.

Character Description: Tall, chubby man in early 30s with dark hair and eyes. Generally mild-mannered, intelligent, kind and empathetic. Active, involved father and dedicated husband. Fiercely protective of family.

Immediate Family: Wife [name_f]Zoe[/name_f], two children

[name_m]Don[/name_m]’t Suggest These Names: [name_m]Jackson[/name_m], [name_m]Nathan[/name_m], [name_u]Nick[/name_u], [name_m]Caleb[/name_m]

Character 2

Character Description: 6 year old girl with brown hair and blue eyes and two missing front teeth. Shy and quiet but bright and witty, interested in math, music, and nature. Gets jealous of younger sister easily, has strong sense of right and wrong and streaks of defiance.

Who named the character: [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] and Character 1, Portlanders in their early 30s. Preferred for sisters to have alliteration to names (both names start with A or both names start with P, for example. Duggar or Halliwell style)

Immediate Family: mother [name_f]Zoe[/name_f], father Character 1, sister Character 2

Already Considered: [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]

[name_m]Don[/name_m]’t Suggest These Names: [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], [name_f]Sophia[/name_f], [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], names based on surnames, youneek names


Character 3

Character Description: 2 and a half year old girl with blonde hair and brown eyes. Spunky, affectionate, active, energetic little girl interested in animals, dolls, trucks, and drawing. Currently potty training and prone to tantrums, spontaneously shows aggression towards sister or parents (biting or hitting), but usually a sweet and emotional child.

Who named the character: Same as Character 2.

Immediate Family: mother [name_f]Zoe[/name_f], father Character 1, sister Character 2

[name_m]Don[/name_m]’t Suggest These Names: [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], [name_f]Sophia[/name_f], [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], names based on surnames, youneek names

First off, I want to say your story sounds excellent!

Keep in mind I’m just tossing around random ideas here.

Character 1

  • [name_m]Cecil[/name_m]
  • [name_u]James[/name_u]
  • [name_m]Daniel[/name_m]
  • [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]

Character 2

  • [name_f]Alice[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Tessa[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Isabel[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Abigail[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]

Character 3

  • [name_f]Lily[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Miri[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Becky[/name_f]
  • [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]

Or for alliteration for the girls, you could go with [name_f]Victoria[/name_f], [name_f]Veronica[/name_f], [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f], or [name_f]Vanessa[/name_f].

You could also go with [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and [name_f]Rose[/name_f].

Good luck and I hope that helped! :slight_smile:
