I need help with names for characters (I know. So done. But still). The names themselves aren't as pivotal as the meanings; it's a whole metaphor thing, you see :-) They have to be English names, though.

For a boy-
a name that would mean either truth, search (or searcher), seek, believe or faith (and any synonyms, of course)

For a girl-
a name that would mean either power or strength or something along those lines. (I was told Audrey means strength but I don't know if this is true.)

Thanks in advance (!!)

the name Christian means "of the christian faith"

Audrey means Noble Strenth in English
Mildred also means strength
MERRICK Powerful Ruler and is listed as a male or female name


thats all i have for now...since you said it had to be an English name-it narrowed it down ALOT! good luck though
