Hi all :)

Naming the people in my stories has always been difficult for me. I usually spend months re-reading and changing their names over and over. I just never seem to be able to find the right fit. So here I am...
I'm hoping you can help.

Character 1: She is the main character. She is in her early 20s, has brown hair just past her shoulders and blue eyes. She dresses like Selena Gomez but does not wear dresses. Ever. She occasionally wears glasses and is fairly tall. No brothers or sisters. Her manipulative, lying, generally mean father died when she was 9 and her mother has since re-married, she believes her step-father is more of a father than her real father ever was, she thinks of him as her real father. She is quite intelligent and is easily bored, is fiercely loyal to those close to her and she has trouble thinking of what to say in situations with people she doesn't know very well, she's a bit awkward. She's stubborn as anything, has a rather sharp tongue and sometimes unintentionally hurts people with her words. I want Paige in her name somewhere, whether it's the 1st, middle or last I don't know.

C2 - This is C1's best friend. Same age as C1, she has blonde hair, quite long and green eyes. She is fun, vibrant, life of the party. She dresses like Taylor Swift, loves her friends more than anything and has the sharpest wit. She's everything C1 wants to be. She has an older brother, he doesn't have a name either.

C3 - This is C1's boyfriend. Year older than C1, is either the same height of about 1/2 an inch taller than C1, has short brown hair, brown eyes. He dresses like Ted Mosby from How I Met Your Mother. He is cheeky, loves to push the boundaries. He lives for fun. Like the first two characters, nothing is more important than his friends, family and his girl. He has an older brother by a few years, possibly named Matthew and a 10 year old brother, possibly named Hunter. He was born in England but moved out to Australia when he was 6 after his father died because his mother's family all lived in Aus (she moved to England when she met and married his father). When he was 9 his mother re-married, he didn't like it at first, thought she was trying to replace his father, but now has come to accept his step-father. His 10 year old brother is his step-father's son. He still visits his father's family in England.

C4 - This is C1's other best friend. He is the stereotypical gay guy. Basically he's a girl in a guy's body. He's a lot like Anthony Marentino from Sex in the City. I was thinking Scotty but I'm not sure...

C5 - This is C1's best guy friend. He is taller than C1, brown hair, green eyes. They have known each other for years and tell each other everything. C3 can get jealous of his relationship with C1 but there is nothing between them but friendship... yet. I don't know whether there is going to be anything more. He's reliable, caring, loves C1 dearly (more like a big brother) and is very protective of her. This also make C3 uncomfortable.

I like Luke for either C3 or C5 but can't decide.

Also, I need names for C3's parents. His dad that died is James, and I was thinking either Kate or Hannah for his mum, his step-dad I have no idea.

Middle and last names would be great too.

Your help would be greatly appreciated. If you need anymore details let me know.
Thank you :)

For the main character I really like Sloane Paige *last name*. It’s unique, to make your character stick out and I think it fits the personality. I also like Harper Paige or Halle Paige.

For the best friend Quinn Sabrina comes to mind. Quinn just screams fun, blonde. I also like Blair or Aubrey. For her brother maybe Ross Aidan.

For the boyfriend maybe Lincoln Reid, I also like Noah Luke.

For Anthony Marentino… Dean Andrew. Dean makes me think manly man, so It’ll add a bit of humor when Dean is watching “Say Yes to the Dress”.

For hot, tall, guy friend I like Rhett Jacob. It’s cool, manly, and sounds like a hot guy name…

For boyfriend’s mom I like Katherine “Kate”. Having Katherine as a full name makes her more mom-like.

Do you like any of these?

Sloan Paige is good, I like that. I also like Halle Paige. Any others?

Blair(e) really fits what I see in my head... but so does Aubrey...

The boyfriend doesn't really seem like a Lincoln to me... Noah Luke is closer but still not right.

Dean Andrew... not what I was thinking but I like it.

Rhett Jacob. Not my favourite for him. I like Jacob though.

I think your right with Katherine "Kate".

Thanks so much VreelsMe!!!

Other then Sloan and Halle… Reagan Paige? Spunky. “She is quite intelligent and is easily bored, is fiercely loyal to those close to her and she has trouble thinking of what to say in situations with people she doesn't know very well, she's a bit awkward. She's stubborn as anything, has a rather sharp tongue and sometimes unintentionally hurts people with her words” Sounds like me... you could name her Avery. LOL

I love Blair and Aubrey, I think I like Blair a bit better though

Hmmm… how about Logan? If you name Character #1 Sloan, their couple name could be Slogan J

Other than Dean, I like Simon. Simon is the name of a guy that likes sweaters…

Now that I think about it Jacob is the other guy/friend in Twilight so I don’t think I’d use it…How about Griffin or Grant?

Reagan Paige is perfect!! How did I not think of that?!

I'm liking Blair a lot...

Logan fits well too. (I like Slogan :P) Lucas Logan or Logan Lucas? Or is that too many "L"s?
Or should one be Logan and one be Luke/Lucas?

Thank you so much for your help!

Logan Lucas sounds fine... The only thing is Reagan and Logan are too similar. So if Reagan is perfect, Logan can't be :(

Didn't think of that... could Logan be a last name?
And now I need another name...

Can you think of any last names?
