    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 ..

    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!

    THey all sound great, im just not sure about Blake and Myles, they sound too american. Id go for Miles and change Blake. Older brothers wife, I think Francesca is tooo long if your going to hyphenate unless you call her Fran?

    I hope we get to read the finished product, whenever that is!!

    I think that the 2 names I have made bold seem too long and made up.
    I think that perhaps the main character should have a shorter middle name if her surname is going to be hyphenated and long like it is.
    I also agree that readers could get Oscar and Oliver confused.
