[name_m]Hi[/name_m] everyone. [name_f]My[/name_f] boys went back to school two weeks ago, so I’ve been having a bit more time on my hands. (Crazy right?) I’ve been writing a little book about a girl who goes on a road trip, but everyone dies. (A little morbid, but I like it, so whatever) I’ve been trying to figure out my main character’s name for a while, but I just can’t seem to find thatname. For a while, I went with [name_f]Lorelai[/name_f], but it just didn’t seem like her. Finally, I thought of the name [name_f]Alice[/name_f]. I love it, but it feels a little old fashioned. (My story is set in modern times btw) [name_f]My[/name_f] character is a sweet and charming girl with almost perfect manners. What do you think? Should I go with [name_f]Alice[/name_f] and risk it sounding old fashioned? [name_m]Or[/name_m] find a newer modern sounding name? (The main character’s 17)
I think [name_f]Alice[/name_f] is perfect for the character! I don’t think it’s too old fashioned. If you do decide you want something more modern sounding, maybe [name_f]Alicia[/name_f] would work?

[name_f]Alice[/name_f] is timeless, if it seems like “the” name for this character then go for it!
