Hello everyone!
I’m planning to write a book (eventually), and could use some help on character names. So far I have three characters planned.
Setting: modern times (not a specific year)
A college somewhere in the US, haven’t decided
1: has bushy, slightly wavy, long red hair, blue-gray eyes, and lots of freckles. She’s quite short (but brags about being broad in the shoulders to make up for it) and strong and loves sports, especially baseball. She’s quick tempered, but tries very hard to be patient and tolerant. She likes action movies and [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Wayne[/name_m], and oldies and Irish music. She has a wacky sense of humor and can be a little inconsiderate. She’s very definite in her views and very patriotic.
Age: early 20s
Names I’ve thought of for her: none! It should be [name_m]French[/name_m] or Irish, or something traditional/old-fashioned. Not very feminine–nothing ending in -[name_f]Belle[/name_f] ([name_f]Annabelle[/name_f], etc.)
2: is taller than 1, but not by much, though she claims to be taller. She has thick, curly, long brown hair with red-gold-chestnut in it, blue eyes, and has a rosy-complexion. She’s patient, but when she’s angry, she has a scary voice. She likes oldies, and Irish music like 1, but also [name_m]Frank[/name_m] Sinatra and Motown. She likes [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_u]Austen[/name_u] and authors/movie adaptions like that (Elizabeth Gaskell, Charles Dickens, etc.) She tends to be more emotional than 1, but also has a wacky sense of humor. She’s also very stubborn.
Age: early 20s
Names I’ve thought of for her: Sabrina or Sabina, Lizzy/Lizzie (short for Elizabeth),. Should be more feminine than 1, but preferably French, Irish, or English–nothing modern.
3: is taller than both 1 and 2, has fairly straight medium-brown hair, brighter blue eyes, and is paler. She’s fairly shy and reserved and doesn’t like big groups, but she enjoys being with small groups of people. She can be a little over-sensitive and belligerent, but she tries to see the other side of the argument. She doesn’t like to talk about what she feels. She has a great sense of humor. Her taste in movies is like 2’s, but also likes action movies. She loves music but doesn’t play an instrument. She writes short stories and poems.
Age: early 20’s
Names I’ve thought of for her: Ealish, Eilis. Same guidelines for the other two.
I’ll post more later if necessary–I hope this is more helpful? Please let me know if I need to say more; I haven’t been a member long so I’m not very used to how you guys do this.
