Hey guys I need help naming my main female character, yes she is the love interest but she’s more than that, she doesn’t just swoon and fall at his feet whenever the main male character is around. She’s her own person… She just needs a name I have some options but I’m not sure which fits.
Genre of [name_u]Story[/name_u]: [name_u]Drama[/name_u]
Time Period/Location: Present [name_u]Day[/name_u], haven’t settled on a city yet but a large city somewhere in USA
Brief Plot: [name_m]Jackson[/name_m] ‘[name_m]Jack[/name_m]’ [name_u]Harper[/name_u] is a homicide detective who is a semi alcoholic complete workaholic who has some anger issues and is so dedicated to his job because his mother was murdered when he was young and in the house, his father was a lawyer who had prosecuted his mothers killer for three murders but the man escaped from custody, broke into their home and killed [name_m]Jackson[/name_m]'s mother while [name_m]Jackson[/name_m] was in the house, [name_m]Jack[/name_m]'s mother sent him to go play across the street at a neighbours house but [name_m]Jack[/name_m] came back to get his baseball mitt and saw the murder and hid. [name_m]Jack[/name_m] drinks a lot at a local bar where female character is a bartender with her own damages past.
Character Description: tough, witty, sarcastic, comes across as friendly to most people, especially the locals but she’s very guarded, upon later reflection people realise they don’t know as much about her as they think, she’s there for you, friendly, outgoing, tough, ballsy, not overly attached to much about her life. She was a teenage run away from a terrible home situation.
Who named the character: her mother and father, [name_f]Lina[/name_f] and [name_m]Edward[/name_m] [name_m]Ives[/name_m], [name_f]Lina[/name_f] mainly though, [name_f]Lina[/name_f] was previously in a relationship with an abusive man who died (car crash) so [name_m]Edward[/name_m] was her dream man (though not so much for the character I’m trying to name) so she does whatever she can to please him. [name_m]Edward[/name_m] appears to be the perfect father.
Immediate Family (if relevant): Character has an older half brother from her mothers previous marriage [name_m]Louis[/name_m] nn [name_u]Lou[/name_u], named after their mothers maiden name who is is alternatively overly grateful to and extremely frustrated with, she loans him money and is usually at first unhappy to see him whenever he appears in her life for various reasons
I’m torn between [name_f]Molly[/name_f] nn M/Mol (childhood nn [name_f]Molly[/name_f] [name_f]Dolly[/name_f]/[name_f]Dolly[/name_f]), [name_f]Anya[/name_f] nn [name_f]Annie[/name_f] (childhood nn Ya-Ya), [name_f]Freya[/name_f] nn [name_m]Frey[/name_m]
Please help me choose between:
Molly
Anya
Freya
They all seem to fit and they all don’t at the same time. What would you pick and why? Also middle name ideas please?
