So,, I've been working on one story for probably 5-7 years and it's not finished. I thought I'd start another one. I've come up with a family and need some names for them.

#1: Dad (34) is a successful business man. He loves his family,, and although he works a lot,, he always makes time for them. The highlight of his week is Sunday lunchtime,, when the family go out to the local pub for a roast.

#2: Mum (34) and #3: daughter(19) are both party animals. Fake tan,, bleached blonde (or dyed black,, can't decide) hair with cheap extensions,, a lot of make-up and revealing clothes. They enjoy clubbing and shopping together and people often assume they're sisters.

#4: Son (15) is a typical geek. In his spare time you'll find him watching sci-fi shows and doing experiments. Although he is good-looking,, he has a bad taste in fashion.

#5: Daughter (7) is a bit of a princess. She has everything a girl could want and more. She loves shopping but laughs at how fake her mother and sister are,, preferring to stick to her natural olive skintone and chocolate brown hair.

I haven't decided on storylines yet,, but those are the characters. There may be more children to come,, that also hasn't been decided yet. Below is what I'm expecting from the names,, in brackets are names I've considered so far.

#1 - the name must suit both a successfull businessman and a family man,, maybe something with a nickname. (Paul,, William nn Will)
#2 - the name must have been popular around the time she was born,, but remain used 10+yrs after,, so it doesn't give away her age. (Joanne "Jo",, Louise "Lou")
#3 - a pretty name with a simple,, fun nickname
#4 - simple,, popular but not trendy (James,, Callum)
#5 - a pretty name. (Annabelle,, Isabella,, Amelie)

#2 Kristi18

thanks Kristi :D

yep,, basically that's part of the reason they are who they are - the mum wasn't ready to grow up and still hasn't really,, whereas the dad was determined to make something of his life and provide for his family

Dad (34) I figure his name has to be attractive as a 15 year old in 1990/1, but like the others before me, suggests middle-America.
John "Jack"
Steven "Steve"
Daniel "Danny"
Mitchell "Mitch"
Richard "Richie"


Mom (34) same, a trendy name for 1976 for a girl who would get knocked up in 1990/1.
Angela "Angie"
Rebecca "Becca or Becks"
Nicole "Nicky"
Dawn
Crystal
Cynthia "Cyn or Cyndi"
Alicia

Daughter (19) based on the college freshmen I know and the top 100 list from 1991, factoring in the taste of a 15 year old.
Stephanie "Stephie" or "Stevie"
Jasmine "Jazz"
Amanda "Mandy"
Kayla
Chelsea
Taylor


Son (15) playing to the taste of his parents, who would have been 19 in 1996.
Brandon
Tyler
Zachary
Andrew (Drew or Andy. are they the sort of people who chose matchy names? Mandy and Andy?)
Anthony (Tony)
Justin
Christian


Daughter (7) you want frilly names?
Arianna
Natalie
Gabriella
Savannah
Destiny
Amalia
Layla
