    Calling all creative ones! HELP!

    I'm hoping I can use this thread to bounce ideas off you all!

    I'm reading a new book which has given me new inspiration to write. I started writing earlier this year and developed a really good plot but soon realised I was out of my depth and writing about something I didn't know too much about (i.e. a location I hadn't visited and an experience I didn't have a good enough connection with). Now I've got a new idea based around one character and I'm inspired!

    Would love your input while I develop my characters and the location (which I believe is a character in itself) and also your critisms and comments on various ideas.

    At this stage this is RAW. I only thought of it last night and was so excited that I'm up at 6am to character develop

    My heroine is a BRAT. A spoilt 20 year old from a wealthy family who moves to the city to "become someone". She lives off a trust fund and works only for show - until she either makes it or marries someone who has. I have a friend who lives exactly like this - and I'm going to quietly base this around her.

    So... firstly - I need a NAME!!

    Think Elle from Neighbours as she will look/act and be somewhat like this. Names I am tossing around are "preppy" names...

    Lola (although this is the character in the book which gave me the idea)
    Elodie
    Coco (would probably use this as a nn - would need a full name)
    Adele
    Blair (perhaps too much like Gossip Girls??)
    Morgan
    Sloane
    Charlotte
    Chelsea


    Would love some more ideas as I'm not 100% on any of these!
