Alrighty, so I have a new novel idea, but I can't go anywhere without a name for my main character.
All I've got on her so far is that she's the party girl (drugs, alcohol, sex) and she gets in a near fatal car accident.
While she's in a coma, God talks with her and gives her one chance to fix her life (btdubbs Christian novel)
Anyway, the story is basically her journey in finding Christ.

She's a super pretty brunette with pink and blue streaks in her hair at the beginning of the novel w/ green eyes.





Any and all help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Are there any similar figures in the bible who were too WORLDLY before God spoke to them and they ammended their ways? You could use an updated name of a biblical figure. It would be a nice allusion to a figure in the bible.

It sounds really good!

Let's see how about

Gabrielle 'Gabby'
Ella
Rachel
Emily

This is really random but you could name her Rose and the title could be Rose's Thorns

Thanks for the suggestions, guys!

KatieB, I was thinking of using a Biblical name. Perhaps Delilah or Jezebel or Magdalene/Magdalena but I wasn't sure.

Opinions?

Magdalene, nn Maggie. Jezebel had a, well, not so good ending to her life! Delilah isn't bad. Other options...

Eve
Tabitha
Tamar
Michal
Priscilla

Another little known biblical name is Atara.

I like Evangeline Brooke as a combo! :) Evie would be a really cute nick name I think would fit! :P The name seems "up-to-date" enough to be a party girl and not sound like a wicked innocent type of girl. Also I think it fits her description :)

Other biblical names:
Hannah
Shiloh "Shy" (place many met for the temple, I'm pretty sure)
Bethel "Beth"
Naomi
Phoebe
Beulah
Suzanna
Eden
Rebecca
Elizabeth
Abigail
Selah
Ruth
Sarah
Lydia
Michel
Tabitha

Good luck and happy writing, Harmony! :P

Thanks everyone for the help!

I think I'll probably go with either Magdalene nn Maggie or Evangeline nn Eve/Evie



I really appreciate the suggestions!


Happy writing to you all
