A Name for my Herione

[Aimz]

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?)

[Shellbelle]

Sarah Anne Fenwick (just popped into my head!)

[Aimz]

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??

[Muppity]

For some reason Isadora Jane just popped into my head.

[Aimz]

Keep them coming girls - this is fantastic!!

It is a modern day setting and a modern storyline.

[Shellbelle]

Ok... what about...

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

[Aimz]

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...

[Pandora]

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!

[Kitt3n]

Well i think Lydia goes well with Carmichael!

Lydia Louise.....

[Aimz]

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?

[LisaL]

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 ..

[LisaL]

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

[Aimz]

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?

[Madissun]

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