I'm working on a realistic fiction story that involves a teenage girl from Maine whose family moves south to Georgia to her aunt's cattle ranch after her mother dies. She meets a boy and falls in love and whatnot, I haven't figured too much out yet.

 

Here are the main characters so far (the second blank is the last name): 

 

Main Character - _____ ______ - age 16 (I've considered Elaina, Kira, and Mara, but am not sure about any of these)

Older brother - Neal ______ - age 20

Younger brother - Joseph "Joey" - age 12

Dad - David _____ 

Mom - Michelle  ____ 

 

MC's love interest - Morgan Holley - age 17

 

MC's aunt - Susan  ____ (this family's last name will be different)

MC's uncle - Kenneth "Ken"  _____ 

MC's cousin (male)  - _____ _____ - age 17

MC's cousin (female) - ____  _____ - age 13/14

 

Here's what I need:

 

a last name for MC's family and the cousins' family

~ a first name for MC that fits with her sibling names

~ first names for the cousins that fit well together and are appropriate to the time/place (this is modern Georgia, USA)

 

 

Thanks in advance for any suggestions! I'm really struggling with MC's first name.

Thanks so much for all the suggestions! I've got my whole cast of characters finished! For now, at least. I might need more help with minor characters later!

 

Here's what I've figured out:

 

Main Character - Eliza Kerrigan - age 16 (Eliza wasn't a suggestion, but I picked it and it fits well)

Older brother - Neal Kerrigan - age 20

Younger brother - Joseph "Joey" Kerrigan- age 12

Dad - David Kerrigan

Mom - Michelle Kerrigan

 

MC's love interest - Morgan Holley - age 17

 

MC's aunt - Susan Mullan (this family's last name will be different)

MC's uncle - Anthony “Tony” Mullan

MC's cousin (male)  - Seth Mullan - age 17

MC's cousin (female) - Leah Mullan - age 13/14
