A Name for my Herione

Hi all,

I need a name for the lead character in my story. She is mid 20's, attractive, career driven, strong willed and focussed. She also comes from a respectable and well known family and from a upper middle class background. I need a first, middle and last name for my character. For first names I have come up with the following, but would apprecite some more ideas based on the description I have given!!

Eva
Kate (Catherine)
Anna
Sarah
Eden

Also some ideas for some surnames would be great!! Please help!!

Liz (Elizabeth) Alexis McCarthy

God - this could be a very long thread! (i am guessing whe is from a caucasian background?)

Sarah Anne Fenwick (just popped into my head!)

Yes she is from a caucasian background. Was thinking the mothers name would be Elizabeth (Beth for short). Great surname! Thanks for the ideas Kitt3n and Shellbell!

Keep them coming guys! I'm looking for a strong, simple but traditional name - nothing too out there - but something that would suit a woman in her mid 20's.

Is it set in modern day?

Genevieve (Evie?)
Katharine/Kate
Clare
Susan
Lucinda
Carlisle

Mmm Upper middle class sounding surnames...no idea..for some reason I'm thinking Mc or St something, or maybe hyphenated names?

McClure
St. Clair
St. James
Mander-Jones

I like the St. names the best though, they seem to go with long and short first names too.

Hmmm....How bout Eden Jayne Preston??

For some reason Isadora Jane just popped into my head.

Keep them coming girls - this is fantastic!!

It is a modern day setting and a modern storyline.

Ok... what about...

Emily Jane Prescott
Katie Mae Johnson
Lara Hope Presley
Eva Leigh Carson

Girls these ideas are great!! I am thinking my main characters last name will be Carmichael - do you think that is too American? I have used nearly all of your suggestions of surnames and first names for other characters in the story so thank you so much!!

Still need a first name...

I like it, ist that the surname in the reese witherspoon movie sweet home alabama?

I think maybe a shortish name would do with it (could be short for a longer one though)

oooh or CAsey of Cassidy. I like Casey Carmichael!

Well i think Lydia goes well with Carmichael!

Lydia Louise.....

Carmichael is a popular and distinguished surname used alot in southern US.

Other surnames I was considering are Wright, McMahon, Maguire and Hamilton.

Which one sounds better?

Front runner first names are Eva, Anna and Eden.

Hmmm... Eva Hamilton?

I like Eden Hamilton, middle name mmmm not so sure, how about Faith? Eden Faith Hamilton.

Or how about Marie for a middle name? Oooh this is very hard, and very exciting!

Layla Elize Carmicheal

Layla always sounds (to me) like well groomed lady with and exqisite back-ground.
Elize - named after her mother
And I like the Carmicheal, but Hamilton will do also

my 2c worth ..

How about Stella? I heard that this morning on TV (Tori Spelling named her bub this)....

Ok guys, here is what I have so far in terms of names for my characters:

Main Character: Eva Elizabeth Hamilton-Tate (still deciding on first name)
Ex Husband: William Tate
Ex Husbands new love: Lydia Wright
Parents: George and Elizabeth (Beth) Hamilton
Older Brother: Blake Hamilton
Younger Brother: Myles Hamilton
Older Brother?s Wife: Francesca Mander-Jones Hamilton
Nephew: Oscar Hamilton
Best Friend City: Colette McCarthy
Best Friend Home: Sarah Fenwick
Ex Lover/Rekindled Romance: Oliver Miller

Still deciding if there will be anymore characters and the names are not set in stone yet. What do you think of the male characters names?

Are Oscar and Oliver a bit too alike? Confusion for readers at times maybe? Just a thought!
