Hello everyone,
I have so many ideas for the story I am writing, but I just can’t come up with good character names…
The story is about an 11 year old girl (character 1) who suffers from OCD. She is very intelligent, perfectionistic and into photography. She has lots of freckles, hazel eyes, blonde hair. Her last name is going to be [name]Hayes[/name], I was thinking of the first name [name]Chloe[/name] for her. The main character has two older sisters and one older brother. Her oldest sister (character 2) is very rebellious, confident, artistic and outspoken. She died her hair brown and has hazel eyes. I was thinking of the names [name]Zoey[/name], [name]Aria[/name], [name]Lola[/name] or [name]Eliza[/name] for her. Her brother (character 3), is confident, sporty, intelligent and just the perfect child, I was thinking of [name]Tobias[/name] or [name]Conor[/name] for him. Her other sister (character 4), is very popular, social and sporty. She has wavy blonde hair and deep brown eyes, she is very pretty. I was thinking of these names for her: [name]Audrey[/name], [name]Isis[/name] or [name]Eden[/name]. There happens something terrible to character 4 which changes the life of this whole family.
Please tell me what you think of the names and you can also give some other suggestions
Thank you!

I agree that [name]Audrey[/name] is the only one that makes since for character 4, because it is the only one that is common enough to match the other options. But I don’t like that name for that character, a) because I know someone named [name]Audrey[/name], and she is nothing like the character you describe, which makes me biased. b) because the other 2 are a lot prettier and more unusual, and I like unusual more. I like both [name]Isis[/name] and [name]Eden[/name], but I like [name]Eden[/name] more for your character. Maybe the name could be [name]Audrey[/name], and [name]Eden[/name] could be a nickname. [name]Aubrey[/name] is another option.
So, considering that, here are my ideas:
1: [name]Chloe[/name] is a fine name for this character, in my opinion
2: I like [name]Zoey[/name] for the character, but [name]Chloe[/name] and [name]Zoey[/name] would not work, so [name]Aria[/name] is my second option.
3: [name]Tobias[/name]. Definitely.
4: [name]Audrey[/name] nn [name]Eden[/name]
#1 - [name]Chloe[/name] [name]Hayes[/name] is fine.
#2 - I wouldn’t use [name]Zoey[/name] for obvious reasons. [name]Lola[/name] I still think is a bit close with the Chlo and Lo starts to the name, even though they end differently. [name]Eliza[/name] [name]Hayes[/name] would be my pick.
#3 - I try to avoid key characters with the same initials unless necessary, I’ve heard it’s meant to make it more difficult to read if you do. As much as I like [name]Conor[/name] [name]Hayes[/name] better in the sibset, I think [name]Chloe[/name] and [name]Conor[/name] is too much in the family. [name]Tobias[/name] is a bit posh in comparison though - I’d go with just [name]Toby[/name] [name]Hayes[/name].
#4 - I don’t think any of these names work, tbh. [name]Eden[/name] just is completely different in style, as is [name]Isis[/name], and [name]Audrey[/name] I find really dated. [name]How[/name] about [name]Isla[/name] instead of [name]Isis[/name], [name]Evelyn[/name] nn [name]Evie[/name] instead of [name]Eden[/name], or [name]Ava[/name] instead of [name]Audrey[/name]?
