Hey berries,
So I’ve been brainstorming names for a story I’m writing about 5 sisters.Although I don’t have a plot yet,i have the names.Tell me what you think of them and any changes you would make…

(19 yrs old)[name]Priscilla[/name] [name]Constance[/name]-oldest sister,seems to be skilled at basically everything.Loves to practice needlework and dreams of being a lady.Engaged to [name]Nathaniel[/name] [name]Gene[/name] [name]Hansen[/name].[name]Long[/name] brown hair,unusually worn in a love knot.Has light blue eyes and is very thin.

(17 years old)[name]Minerva[/name] [name]Lucretia[/name]-second oldest sister,spunky and spirted.She loves to paint with her Aunt [name]Florence[/name]'s water colors and has a cat named [name]Lily[/name] [name]Mae[/name].[name]Green[/name] eyes and brown hair worn in a ribbon.

(16years old)[name]Beatrice[/name] [name]Josephine[/name]-The third sister,considered not only the smartest,but also the sweetest. She loves to bake,especially her Aunt [name]Cordelia[/name]'s famous cherry pie.She has silky blond hair inherited from her Aunt [name]Cordelia[/name] and blue eyes.

(16 years old)[name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Vera[/name]-the somewhat ignorant second youngest sister who has dark brown hair and blue eyes.[name]Elizabeth[/name] is in love with [name]Gene[/name] [name]Hansen[/name].

(15 years old)[name]Celia[/name] [name]Frances[/name]-The youngest sister.[name]Celia[/name] has dark raven hair inherited from her Aunt [name]Florence[/name] and admires her sisters [name]Pricilla[/name] and [name]Beatrice[/name] (“[name]Trixie[/name]”) the most and is mature for her age.

Also,the mother will be [name]Elsie[/name] [name]Leonora[/name] and the Father maybe will be (but I need suggestions/feed back), [name]Jamison[/name] [name]Edwin[/name].Also,[name]Elsie[/name] has three sisters (I know, ALOT of girls) named [name]Cordelia[/name],[name]Florence[/name] and [name]Bee[/name] (short for [name]Beatrice[/name]…unless you berries have other “[name]Bee[/name]/[name]Bea[/name]” names).What do you guys think?(:

I think all of them fit except [name]Elizabeth[/name] [name]Vera[/name]. [name]Elizabeth[/name] seems like a sweet girl, or almost a goody-goody. I think just switching the names around to be [name]Vera[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] would fit her alot better. Also, I like the fact that [name]Beatrice[/name] makes her Aunt [name]Cordelia[/name]'s pie, but would it make more sense to have it be Aunt [name]Bee[/name]? I’m assuming that’s who she’s named after, and I think people always have a special connection with another when they are named after someone. :slight_smile: I think for the father, you should just have one “on/in/en” name. What about [name]Edwin[/name] [name]James[/name] or [name]James[/name] [name]Edwin[/name]? Something like that would work better. Good luck! :slight_smile:
