Ok, so I'm working on a story that came to me in a dream (weird, I know) that I feel like I have to write it. I would like some opinions and suggestions on the following main characters.

Story Idea:
During the golden age of piracy, a young woman intending to make a mark of her own upon the sea, joins the crew of the (ship’s name) and falls for their captain. As their passion and love story develop, run-ins with the East Indian Trading Company start to threaten the very existence of piracy.

Character Descriptions:

Main Characters:

Anne ______ “Annie”: Mid 20’s. British by birth, joined piracy at a young age. Lost her mother soon after she left home. Never knew her father, just his name that her mother told her on her death bed. Passionate of what her beliefs are. Dark chocolate hair, green blue eyes, stands at about 5 feet 6 ½ inches with a voluptuous figure.

Need a middle name and a last name. Possible last names are Wilde, Barnes, or Barlow.

Captain Jacques ______ “Jack”: Late 20’s to early 30’s. Of French and British birth. His mother was a British tavern wench and his father a French buccaneer. Left for the sea at age ten and has never looked back. Proven to be a respected pirate. Has no political preferences and does tend to switch alliances to whoever has the best profit. Although happy with his life, he does feel like there is something more to be found. Light brown hair, hazel eyes, stands at about 6 feet 1 inches with an athletic figure.

Need a middle name and a last name. Possible last names are Bellamy, Delacroix, or Durant.


Thanks!

I like Wilde for her last name. It seems like a very good 'pirate' name as well as an English name. As for a middle name, the first thing that popped into my head was Margaret. Or Katharine, Grace, Camille, Louisa, Mae or Waverly. Something old-fashioned.

I like Delacroix for Jack. For his MN, Edmon, Emile, Matthieu, Theirry, Etienne or Laurent

Really...Anne Margaret Wilde gets my vote, hands down!

Jacques Mattheiu Delacroix and Jacques Etienne Delacroix are tied for me.
