I've been working on a semi-short story lately, and I've written about 12 pages without having names for the two characters. Both of those characters - a male and female - are based off of people I know. [To be completely honest, my friend gave me a piece of gossip and I thought DANG! that's a great concept for a book.] However, I don't want to use either of their real names, but to keep the authenticity for myself, I want names that are similar to theirs.
Him:
Blonde hair, blue eyes, plays soccor, very tall and slender, intellegent but immature
Curtis D.
Her:
Focused, short black hair and deep eyes, tiny, serious
Shannon B.
Okay the more I think about it, I'll be needing a name for another female supporting character. Same concept.
Her II:
His girlfriend at the time...
Dayhan M.
___
This totally contradicts everything I just said, but there are a few names that I've thought about using just because I think they fit the characters...
Him: Tristan / Benjamin / Dustin / Logan /Sawyer
Her I: Britta
Her II: Gillian / Holly
