A few questions...

[velkoria.livejournal.com]

Ok I don't know how many of you remember that a few posts back I posted abut a possible name for a character, Memphis Evelyn, and the time has come for me to write and the main character is a girl, around 16 who lives a rather... unstable life (to say the least). She is a bit weak and rough on the edges and she has a brother, whose name I don't know yet either. I need your help!
Girl - As much as I love boy names on girls I think she would most likely have a pure girl name. She is 16 at the begining of the story and easily manipulated by others If it helps any she's got blonde hair but always dyes it dark and dark eyes.
Boy - He needs a guy's name too (no unisex, pure male) he is either 17 at the begining or 15. He has dark hair and dark eyes. He may or not be gay (he's trying to figure it out) but most likely he'll just be bisexual (don't know if that matters) he's a drug addict that starts off very young.
They are brother and sister as mentioned above.
Lower middle class.
American and it's set in the 90's 2000's

Thanks!

Naming people is absolutely the hardest part of writing stories for me. So i'll be no help. But i just wanted to tell you it sounds like such an interesting story and i'd love to read it when its all finished!

why thank you for the compliment =D I usually can throw names in there like crazy but this one has me a little confused. I have been tossing around three neames for her, Carrie, Lindsey (this is sticking a lot) and Isabelle (which is a bit too 'proper' for the family but I do like the nn Izzy for her) and him I have ben thinking of Jake. Nohting is certain though... I can always go back on the rough draft and change the names, right?

[kristinluffsyou.livejournal.com]

totally. Lindsey sounds pretty good, btw. I always go back and change names at least two or three times throughout the story.

The first name that popped into my head immediately as far as the girl is concerned, is Piper. If you like boy names on girls, you could always give her a unisex name, or a girly name that could be shortened for something that sounds more 'tough', so to speak, like Samantha --> Sam. I personally like Sam a lot =).
As for the boy...Trevor? Travis? Chris(topher)?

I know I commented on your previous post about how I don't like Memphis, but reading about the character now, it seems to suit her perfectly!

I am sure if she had chosen her own name she'd probably go with Memphis too lol but I am not sure her parents would pick that for her. I am seriously considering Trevor and Travis for the boy. Thanks!

Jamie Lynn (though both are technically unisex)
Jessa
Savannah (going off of the Memphis idea, even though it's in a different state)
Tara
Amy Jo

Jeremy
Robert (Bobby)
Hunter
Scott
James (Jim)

Jessa is interesting enough! That is now on the lst for her lol... sounds like something her parents would pick for her!

I was tossing around the name James and Jake too. Maybe added to Trevor/Travis as a middle name?

Thanks!

[how-obscure.livejournal.com]

Jessa is going on the list? Shiny! So when your novel gets published and you become a world renowned author, I may be able to say, "That's my name! I suggested that!" :P

Best of luck in your writing endeavors!

Oh, I like Alexa for a girl too.

[velkoria.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I think the only one that would be something her parents would use for a girl is Eliza, boys are a little too 'out there' (except for Ronald but that doesn't quite fit him)

[betraythemoment.livejournal.com]

Tobias is a name I just saw on a different website... perhaps a bit out there too though.

[betraythemoment.livejournal.com]

Toby for short or for keeps?

Sarah
Monique
Carly
Nicola
Jesamine

Jacob (Jake)
Benjamin (Benny/Jamin/Jay)
Anthony (Ant/Tony)

[velkoria.livejournal.com]

I was considering Jake, Carly is ok but the rest I don't see fitting her. Thank you so much though =D

I think, as someone else suggested, that Jessa and Trevor would make a very good sibset. They go together really well.

[velkoria.livejournal.com]

I am torn between Jessa and Lindsey now but I am pretty sure his name is Trevor James (TJ, for short). I've been tossing around the idea of Lindsey Jessa or Jessa Lindsey... I was laning towards Lindsery Jessa because of the same J middle name initial and that can tie in somehow but I dunno...

Haha, LJ!
