My first impression was [name]Claire[/name]/[name]Clare[/name] or [name]Clara[/name] and I think it’s sounds fabulous with mercer. [name]Claire[/name] [name]Mercer[/name] or [name]Claire[/name] Compton kind of has a nice alliteration that’s not too much but sounds good.im really feeling [name]Claire[/name]

I picture her middle-class. I feel like she might be a [name]Rose[/name], a [name]Lillian[/name], or a [name]Fleur[/name]! [name]Mirabelle[/name] and [name]Amaryllis[/name] also come to mind.

I see this person as “classy” and put together, but probably not “upper class”. I think she would have a very classic name like [name]Elizabeth[/name] or [name]Charlotte[/name].

</div>

I think she looks middle class with a name like [name]Angela[/name] ([name]Angie[/name])/ [name]Lorraine[/name] ([name]Lori[/name]/[name]Raine[/name])/ [name]Amanda[/name] ([name]Mandy[/name])/ [name]Nancy[/name]/ [name]Rosanna[/name] ([name]Rosa[/name]/[name]Rosie[/name])

[name]Angela[/name] [name]Jane[/name] [name]Mercer[/name]

[name]Lorraine[/name] [name]Sarah[/name] Gregson

[name]Amanda[/name] [name]Helen[/name] Lorimer

[name]Nancy[/name] [name]Kathleen[/name] O’[name]Neill[/name]

[name]Rosanna[/name] [name]Clare[/name] Meldrum

I [name]LOVE[/name] the surname Meldrum. Meldrum is a ‘M’, [name]Mercer[/name] is a ‘M’. Of the 5 surnames I was looking at [name]Mercer[/name] is #5 and only because of the other ‘M’ characters I have in this story. [name]Michael[/name] and [name]Mason[/name]. If I’m gonna keep [name]Michael[/name] and [name]Mason[/name], I really should stear clear of other ‘M’ names. Funny you should pair [name]Rosanna[/name] with Meldrum. Growing up, my youngest sister’s best friend’s name was [name]Stacey[/name] Meldrum…her mother was [name]Roxanne[/name] Meldrum. R name…7 letters.

I was thinking [name]Mabel[/name]. I picture this story to take place in the 1910s- 1940s (sorry if you posted about rhe time period. I did not see).

It’s a modern story. I’m bad at naming characters but I’m worse at research…I hate the whole process, so me writing something that took place before 1980…I’d probably bite my arm off first. LOL.

The image and your description make me think of a [name]Priscilla[/name] or maybe [name]Beatrice[/name]. I feel like they are both softer flowerier names that allow for a bit of bite and sass.

</div>

My first thought was [name]Mary[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] Lastname, probably as a double-first with no middle, maybe called [name]Mel[/name]? But I see you’re trying to avoid M names so that probably doesn’t help lol.
