The protagonist for my latest story is named [name_u]Winter[/name_u], and I need a name for her younger sister.
Originally, I had planned for her sister to be named [name_u]Dakota[/name_u], and to have a bigger role, but the story turned out differently. I had also originally named my protagonist [name_f]Alaska[/name_f], because I liked how it sounded with her surname, [name_m]Moore[/name_m]. I decided against it because I didn’t want her to be confused with [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_u]Green[/name_u]'s [name_f]Alaska[/name_f] [name_m]Young[/name_m].
Now, I’ve lost my place-name theme, and I feel like [name_u]Dakota[/name_u] doesn’t fit anymore. She has brown hair and brown eyes, and it approximately 8 or 9 years old, but she’s deceased by the time the story starts, so she’s only mentioned or shown through flashbacks.
Any suggestions would be wonderful, and middle names would be great too. If you think there is a better name than [name_u]Winter[/name_u] for my protagonist, feel free to let me know, but she goes by her middle name ([name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], nn [name_f]Ellie[/name_f]), instead anyway. Her name is also a pretty big part of the story, as is her going by her middle name, so I want to keep it as similar as possible.
[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps!:

Here is the site where I found a lot of my names :D:https://www.babble.com/baby-names/girl-names-that-start-with-a/
In case that link doesn’t work, the name of the site is Babble. It’s mostly a parenting help kind of website, but the collection of names is fabulous!!
Here is another site you might be interested in:

I have no clue how old you are, and this one doesn’t have any character names, but it has definitely helped me tremendously! It’s basically everything you ever wanted to know as a writer in one blog. I’m not one of the owners of the blog, but I did subscribe the newsletter, and I do visit it quite often. It’s called Go Teen Writers, and is founded by the book genius: [name_f]Stephanie[/name_f] Morrill. You’ve probably never heard of her, but she is just amazing.
Good luck with your story, and happy writing!!!
I couldn’t resist replying to this :3
My youngest sister (9) is named [name_u]Winter[/name_u] [name_u]Skye[/name_u],
and well my parents named her two older sisters, [name_u]Piper[/name_u] [name_u]Leigh[/name_u] and myself [name_f]Aurora[/name_f] [name_f]Sundae[/name_f].
I feel like [name_f]Aurora[/name_f], [name_u]Piper[/name_u] and [name_u]Winter[/name_u] is really pretty
and [name_u]Piper[/name_u] in particular or [name_f]Pippi[/name_f] goes really sweetly with [name_u]Winter[/name_u]

[name_u]Winter[/name_u] and [name_u]Phoenix[/name_u] (another warm contrast to [name_u]Winter[/name_u])
[name_u]Winter[/name_u] and [name_f]Hermione[/name_f] (reminds me of The [name_u]Winter[/name_u]'s Tale by [name_m]Shakespeare[/name_m] :))

[name_u]Winter[/name_u] and [name_f]Garnet[/name_f] ([name_f]Garnet[/name_f] is [name_u]January[/name_u]'s birthstone, so it ties into the theme without being too obvious, and it’s also a word name!)

[name_u]Winter[/name_u] and [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]

[name_u]Winter[/name_u] and [name_f]Alaska[/name_f] ([name_m]How[/name_m] about using [name_f]Alaska[/name_f] for a different character? I think they sound pretty together and tie in on the same theme)
