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

A story I started writing ages ago but never finished main character’s are [name_f]Mila[/name_f] Wilkens and [name_u]Seth[/name_u] Oher.
[name_f]Mila[/name_f] is dead and has been for over a year when the story begins from her perspective. At first she isn’t aware that she has died but soon learns when she crosses paths with a guy from her school, [name_u]Seth[/name_u], who is the only person who can see her. and that’s basically where i stopped writing :sweat_smile:

A story I’m writing (or, more accurately, attempting to write) features a protagonist named [name_f]Reena[/name_f] [name_u]Marlowe[/name_u], an eighteen-year-old girl who can see ghosts. The other protagonist is [name_u]Shiloh[/name_u], a ghost who insists on becoming [name_f]Reena[/name_f]’s “invisible friend” and helps her and her family put their lives back together after the death of her father.([name_f]Reena[/name_f] also has three younger siblings: [name_u]Dorian[/name_u], [name_u]Jude[/name_u], and Ellowyn. Her parents’ names are [name_f]Dalia[/name_f] and [name_u]Tarian[/name_u].)
I have many other characters; their names are just works-in-progress :sweat_smile:

Mia and [name_u]Carmen[/name_u], haven’t decided last name, sisters in a ghost story
[name_u]London[/name_u] O’[name_u]Connor[/name_u] and [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f] [name_m]Evans[/name_m], the main character and the murder suspect in a mystery
And I’m dying to name some twins [name_f]Leah[/name_f] and [name_u]Skylar[/name_u]. I love first names for girls, but last names and boy names are difficult, so I’m stuck with a character named [name_m]William[/name_m] [name_m]Smith[/name_m].

I just made some new characters!!!
We have [name_m]Zachariah[/name_m] Blaylock, his mom [name_f]Audrina[/name_f] Blaylock!
Then, I have [name_f]Anya[/name_f] [name_m]Kendrick[/name_m] and [name_u]Glen[/name_u] Wilcox! (I saw [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_u]Glenn[/name_u]’s name, and I was like–character named [name_u]Glen[/name_u]! Let’s do it!) (Sad, but this is how my brain works…)
If we went in the list of all my characters, though?? Let’s not.

Well, now I’m curious :laughing: How many characters do you have? Are they all from the same story?

1 Like

Oh! Haha. Well, those characters are all from the same story. HOWEVER, I wrote one a few months back. It took place at a boarding school, and stupid me thought it’d be a great idea to name everyone in the sophomore class. I forgot about 70% of the characters, too. I have vowed never to do that again.

I’m trying to start writing something that isn’t [name_u]Harry[/name_u] [name_m]Potter[/name_m] fanfiction (it’s something I find quite easy), and here are the main characters so far:

The [name_u]Blake[/name_u] family:
[name_f]Ava[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Blake[/name_u] (fourteen years old)
[name_f]Sofia[/name_f] [name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_u]Blake[/name_u] (fourteen)
[name_f]Emerie[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_u]Blake[/name_u] (thirteen. Has been missing for ten years at the start of the story)
[name_f]Melody[/name_f] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] [name_u]Blake[/name_u] (ten years - often prefers to go by [name_f]Vicky[/name_f] or [name_f]Tori[/name_f])
[name_m]Andrew[/name_m] [name_u]James[/name_u] [name_u]Blake[/name_u] (father, forty-two)
[name_f]Laura[/name_f] [name_f]Ellen[/name_f] [name_u]Blake[/name_u] (mother, thirty-seven)

Emerie also turns up as the creatively-renamed [name_f]Emerald[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Sofia[/name_f]’s American online friend (this is basically the plot of the story - the twins have a theory that [name_f]Emerald[/name_f] is [name_f]Emerie[/name_f], and everything kicks off from that).

The rest of the [name_f]Rose[/name_f] family is as follows:
[name_u]Skylar[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] (eleven)
[name_u]Dylan[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] (seven)
[name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] (mother, thirty-four)
[name_m]William[/name_m] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] (father, thirty-six)

As of now, the only character I have named who isn’t from either of those families is [name_u]Ryan[/name_u] [name_u]Elliott[/name_u], who’s [name_f]Ava[/name_f] and [name_f]Sofia[/name_f]’s classmate and their best friend.
