What are your main characters called, in any novel or other story you are writing?

I’m writing an original story (just getting started with it) and my narrator is a girl named [name_u]Marin[/name_u] [name_u]Jackson[/name_u]. The other main character is [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] [name_m]Evans[/name_m], which is pretty normal in comparison but that’s what I want with it. [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] is the strange one, [name_u]Marin[/name_u] is the one who wants to know about [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]’s secret.

I’m basically writing a glorified fanfic of Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, except instead of dinosaurs it’s with magical creatures, and the characters and setting are completely different and the plot also has some key differences. So, basically, everything is different except for the premise and some plot points. :joy:

Julia “[name_u]Jules[/name_u]” Zhao
[name_u]Zephyr[/name_u] [name_u]Scott[/name_u]
[name_u]Malak[/name_u] [name_f]El[/name_f] Khoury

My novel is set in present-day Toronto, and in a nutshell, it’s about a physicist navigating her very weird life who creates a secret blog under a fake name where she talks candidly about her disability.

My main character’s name is Dr. Emilie Catherine Elise Bertrand Weston. Her nom de plume, which no one knows about, is Nico Johansen.

Her family are:
Lucie Adele Bertrand (mother)
Michael Edwin Everett Weston (father)
Audrey Juliette Claire Bertrand Weston (sister)
Peter Alastair Andrew Weston (grandfather)
Catherine Anne Massey Weston (grandmother)
Jean-Claude Bertrand (grandfather)
Clémence Élisabeth Cartier (grandmother)

Emilie’s best friend is James Tyler Hewitt, who is a mental health social worker trying to reconnect with his long-lost Cree heritage.

Some minor characters are:
Cassandra Jayne Willard
Kristen Mary Brigham
Isabella Zoë Hewitt (James’ sister)
Max Jonathan van Dyck
Carlotta Feng
Connor Jasper McDougal
Bonnie Anne Stewart
Jacqueline Lydia Stewart
Magnus Emmanuel Murphy
Genevieve “Ginny” Leigh Ackerley

I also have an idea for another Canadiana. I only have one named character though. Her name is Alexandra Ashley “Allie” Larkin, and she an autistic 16-year-old from Saskatoon who is trying to build a new life for herself in the big city.

Your story sounds so cool so far! What about [name_f]Summer[/name_f] [name_u]Allison[/name_u] for the sister? That seems like a popstar’s name. I also like alliteration names for her sister and her mom! If [name_f]Serenity[/name_f] is their last name, you could do [name_u]Sydney[/name_u], [name_f]Scarlet[/name_f], [name_u]Skylar[/name_u], or something similar. For the twins, I like matchy names, especially for celebrity babies. [name_m]Samuel[/name_m], [name_m]Sebastian[/name_m], [name_m]Santiago[/name_m], [name_u]Sawyer[/name_u], [name_m]Stefan[/name_m], [name_u]Sullivan[/name_u] ([name_u]Sully[/name_u]), [name_u]Sea[/name_u], [name_u]Sol[/name_u], and [name_u]Salem[/name_u] are all nice. [name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helped. Best of luck!

I decided (finally) on a name for my protagonist in a story I’ve already mentioned on Nameberry several times :sweat_smile: as well as his friend in the story.

Protag
[name_m]Adriel[/name_m] [name_m]Galloway[/name_m] (actually still working on a middle haha) alias “[name_u]Silver[/name_u] Devil”; goes by [name_u]Silver[/name_u].

Friend
[name_m]Cecil[/name_m] [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] Delacreaux (:heart_eyes:) a femme genderfluid individual who heads up an underground club/speakeasy. She uses she/her and he/him pronouns and is typically [name_f]Lady[/name_f] Delacreaux to those she dislikes, but is fine using [name_f]Cece[/name_f] with acquaintances.
