I am only up to chapter 5 of writing my very first attempt at a series (after 4 years or so) so I'm not sure how this one will go, but I've developed an idea and want to get the characters down. It is a Fantasy/Real World crossover.

I'd really appreciate some help with developing some names for my MC's immediate family. He. his girlfriend and his sister all have a name (partly), but the rest don't.


MC: Jeremy ? Ward (a middle name would be handy, but not essential)
Sister: Cecelia ? Ward
Mother: ? ? Ward
Father: ? ? Ward should have the same middle name as Jeremy)
Girlfriend: Joanne ? Sawyer (she definitely needs a mn)
Butler: ? ? ?

I never think to hard for characters names. it's always the first one that comes to mind. This is why I would like some help

Sorry to be annoying, but does anyone have any ideas?
I forgot to mention that I need kind of old fashioned type names for all characters above. Ones that go well with the three I have already picked.
I am really no good with names for stories

Mother should be Louisa Ward
Father... Maybe Fabian or Gregory? (Fabian Wyatt and Jeremy Wyatt, Gregory Ivan and Jeremy Ivan)
Joanne Elisa Sawyer
And the Butler... Maybe Daniel Adrian.

Thankyou!

I really like Wyatt as a middle name. I'll add that to the definite names. And I like Adrian as a first name for the butler actually. Not sure I really need a mn for him, so what about Adrian Daniels?

So now I have...

MC: Jeremy Wyatt Ward
Sister: Cecelia ? Ward
Mother: ? ? Ward
Father: ? Wyatt Ward
Girlfriend: Joanne ? Sawyer (she definitely needs a mn)
Butler: Adrian Daniels (maybe)

Sister: Cecelia Elizabeth Ward
Mother: Catherine Elizabeth Ward
Father: Timothy Wyatt Ward
Girlfriend: Joanne Rosa Sawyer
Butler: Adrian Daniels (I think that's good)

Oooh thanks!!!! I love Elizabeth for the middle name of Cecelia. I think I will use that. And I also like the idea of the mother having the mn Elizabeth also. Not sure on Catherine, though. I'm not sure it fits.

MC: Jeremy Wyatt Ward
Sister: Cecelia Elizabeth Ward
Mother: ? Elizabeth Ward
Father: ? Wyatt Ward
Girlfriend: Joanne ? Sawyer (she definitely needs a mn)
Butler: Adrian Daniels

If your not set in stone about that butler, I think Andrew Drivelle Might go ok. (NOT planed to have the same initials!)

You're welcome! Glad I could help.
Do you like any of these for the Mom's name???

Abigail Elizabeth Ward
Gwendolyn Elizabeth Ward
Victoria Elizabeth Ward
Julia Elizabeth Ward
Deborah Elizabeth Ward

Good luck and great names so far!

Hmmmm I think I am pretty much set on Adrian as the first name for the butler, but the last name is still open to suggestions.

Oh I really like Julia Elizabeth and I feel it kind of suits the mother. The parents names don't matter overly as they are dead before the story starts. Not sure why I'm fussing. But thanks, I will think about Julia
