Hello. I'm writing a series based losely on the stories of my family, going back about four generations. I'm having trouble coming up with names for the characters - mainly because I keep thinking of their real names, which I do NOT want to use. So, I'm hoping you guys can help me out. Thanks in advance!!!
BOOK ONE
Female - main character of book one; born in Oklahoma territory in 1896; golden hair, blue eyes, fair complexion, average build; strong, hard-worker, opinionated, patriotic; gives birth to her first child, a girl, all alone in a tent at the age of 16.
Male - husband of main character; brown hair, blue eyes, fair complextion, tall, slender build; lazy, easily pushed around, loves his family; enjoys fishing, hunting and is a great story teller
They have four children - one daughter and three sons
DD - will be the main character of book 2. Born in 1912 in a tent. She is a lot like her mother - golden hair, blue eyes, hard-working, take charge kind of person. She is opinionated and will put people in their place. Her build is petite. She is very strong and overcomes a lot in her life. She will be the mother of ten, a grandmother of 18, a great-grandmother of 32 and a great-great-grandmother of 14. She dies 3 weeks before her 15th great-great grandchild is born at the age of 97.
DS - brown hair, blue eyes, tall, slim build
DS - brown hair, blue eyes, tall, slim build
DS - red hair, blue eyes, tall, slim build
The brothers will just be mentioned on occasion. Their lives, personalities, etc. will not be divulged in the books.
After I settle all the names for book one, I'll move on to the names for book two. Thanks again!
