Hi,

Any advice on how to choose character names for a story?

Character one is a very pretty, young idealistic recent college graduate. She is a classy person for one so young. I am thinking of Victoria, Christina, or Cynthia. Victoria Principal or Victoria Jackson would work, but they are famous names. How about Victoria Watson?

Character two is a late thirty- or early forty-something mover and shaker businessman who is almost arrogant, with no time for details. I don't even have a suggested name for him?

Thanks.

Try cynthia watson, and john list

Look online for names meanings as if you were naming a new baby or in phone books to get names for your characters that have similar meanings to your characters personality--short names are easier to type repeatedly

You can do what I do. I combine the persons personality traits and/ or qualities with each other and get those traits from the meaning of names on this site: :)http://www.babynamesworld.com/index.php :) (ex. Boy> Adalardo~> noble, girl- Adele~> noble and kind... ). They also have what ethnicity that name derives from (ex. Greek, Hebrew, Latin... ). Hope this helps ;D[flash=200,200]URL[/flash]

Well if your going to have the same idea as me, then why don't you just put that you agree or something ::)

Her name is Elizabeth Devareoux

His name is Jack Baldwin

What are the nationalities of the characters? What do their parents do? When where they born?
