For my current novel the main characters are three siblings navigating their lifes through a dystopian future about 250 years from now. Last name is Cowan (can be changed though)
[name_f]Ivonne[/name_f] “[name_f]Ivy[/name_f]”: She is turning 16 during the beginning of the story and either needs to get a position as an apprentice or she will have to join the family buisness (very nasty and dangerous – she is too soft for that) as her family can’t afford higher education. She is a bit naive as her older sister always protected her but she grows to be fierce and head strong. She is very skilled when it comes to complicated mechanics like clockworks and has a thing for fine embroidery. [name_m]Long[/name_m], blonde hair, brown eyes, petite figure and a sweet, heart-shaped face
[name_f]Fay[/name_f]: 20 years old, she is working in the family buisness but is forced into military service at the beginning of the story. Like the others in her unit she has a rare condition which makes her the last hope against the monsters threatening human civilization. [name_f]Fay[/name_f] is very passionate and stubborn about the things she believes in and is constantly worried about her family. She is a trained fighter and has a very strong physique. A bit bulky for a girl, greenish, muddy but intense eyes, darkbrown hair, tiny scars all over her skin and a slight tan from being out so much
[name_u]Neal[/name_u]: 26 years old. Mostly known as the [name_u]Raven[/name_u], he left the family 8 years prior to the start of the story for the army after the death of their mother. Nobody has heard from him since that. During his time serving he started to question the government and after a traumatic experience that cost him his left arm, he vanished from official databases. Many—including his family—believe him to be dead but he secretly joined a group of rebels and worked his way through their ranks. He became one of the mysterious figures of the underground world. Tall and well-toned, brown hair&eyes, bushy eyebrows, and always a grim look on his face
I’m set on [name_f]Fay[/name_f]'s name. So that one is out of question but I’m afraid that [name_f]Ivonne[/name_f] might not fit in with the short names of her siblings. Also I don’t like the double Y. Another name I consider for her is [name_f]Ava[/name_f] as it’s short and kind of a virtue name but then I’m afraid that [name_u]Neal[/name_u] doesn’t really fit anymore.
What do you think? Any alternatives or suggestions what I could do with their names?
