Robert Ryan sticks out a little.


Those are some huge families! Is this story set back in time by any chance?

[iwanttobemyself.livejournal.com]

lol no actually it's a future thing...

Are you, by any chance, a One Tree Hill fan? About half of those names have some relevance to the show.

[tallc00lone.livejournal.com]

duh, your icon explains a lot.

*smacks self*

[iwanttobemyself.livejournal.com]

haha good guess and just to answer the question...yes, I love One Tree Hill!

[tallc00lone.livejournal.com]

I love it more! So there. :]

How far into the future? Because some of these names don't really sound... futuristic, I guess.

[iwanttobemyself.livejournal.com]

not really what I meant by future but ok.

that's an awful lot of characters... i thought in successful story writing you were supposed to limit to about 10-12 main characters, and you've got 22 with just kids? sorry, i know that isn't what you asked about! :P

i agree that robert ryan doesn't fit as well in that sibling family. and jennifer erica kind of sticks out too. the rest of the names are pretty and less common. maybe meagan riley would fit better in that family...?

Jordan Anthony
Gabriella Katelyn

are my favorites

[turabiannights.livejournal.com]

It's just that a lot of these names are really tied to the 80s and 90s, so if "a future thing" meant the 3000s or something, then I'd say you might want to pick something else. If it's not actually in the future, though, these seem fine to me.

I like:
Jennifer Erica
Isabella Brooke
Lucas Dominic (stunning!)
Noah Ethan
Sophia Taylor (though I'm not a big fan of boys names on girls/unisex names)
Jordan Anthony
Gabriella Katelyn
Thomas Bradley
Natalie Anna
Madison Rebecca (I'm not crazy about Madison but I think the combo is really pretty.)

the thing with Joaquin is his father is Peurto Rican and his siblings' father isn't. the other one I just picked something I don't normally use.

Meagan is my name :) I say "Maygan" like you say Reagan.

[iwanttobemyself.livejournal.com]

cool I like that.
