Character name "poll"

[sarahrose.livejournal.com]

Hello!

So, I'm writing a work of fiction and I have a bunch of mid-20-somethings, set in the modern day. I did research the popularity lists.

I'm not especially concerned with opinions on the names themselves (I don't even personally like a couple of them, but they fit! lol) but I was wondering if folks here could tell me if this lot of names is convincing/sound right for their age, etc. Do they sound okay? Would you be thrown by them as a reader at all?

Renée
Leah
Kevin
Aaron
Noah
Jaime (male)


Thanks!

I'm 30 - just a tad bit older than your characters would be, and I went to school with people with almost all those names or have met others around my same age via work with those names. So, I think they'd fit the period assuming you provide some sort of date for the readers to reference. Also, a good point of reference you could use for names from certain years is the Social Security website.

Yes, I did check the lists! It was painstaking coming up with good names!


Thanks!
