I'm having serious problems naming my two main characters, because everyone says that the names I chose just don't fit.

 

My first main character is a 14 year old girl. She has got blonde hair, green eyes, she is funny, sarcastic, a bit laid back, kind of cunny, her head is often up in the clouds dreaming of an adventure she would have with the eventual love of her live, she has sort of a gift to start discussions, she usualy thinks about the good bit and the bad bit of things or situations before jumping into conclusions, and is a person in MUCH need of some adventure. When she is nervous, she plays with an elastic around her wrist (which she never uses). SHE IS PORTUGUESE, SO, IF YOU KNOW ANY PORTUGUESE NAMES FOR HER, PLEASE, TELL ME.

 

My, well, second main character, is a 14 year boy. He has got brown-red hair, beautiful green eyes, in a fight or discussion, never lets his oponent have the upper hand, he's quite social, likes big feasts, but also loves poems (specialy Fernando Pessoa's poems), tales and the sound of seagulls and waves. HE IS VIKING, SO, IF YOU KNOW ANY VIKING/OLD NORSE NAMES FOR HIM, PLEASE, TELL ME, AND HIS LAST NAME IS BJORNSTEIN.

 

Thanks

The page said Portuguese, I'm pretty sure. I never knew there was a difference! Huh. I learned something new today.

yeah, many (and I mean many) people think it's the same... I live in Portugal, so I can tell for sure that there is a difference, but I don't know ALL the portuguese names, because some are just sooooooo old or exotic, that they sound weird...

take, for instance, the word "pear". in brasilian it's "cavanhaque" and in portuguese it's "pêra"!

But I know, I'm portuguese, I should be able to choose which portuguese names my characters would be called, but I've made a small list of names of people I know, but I just can't decide which one... I still haven't found the right name,... I've asked a few people what they thought of the name Diana, because I like very much, but everyone would say it's a name for someone with brown hair and brown eyes..... And, I've got to admit, I know someone named Diana and it fits the description my friends and family gave me

I see Diana as a blonde. You could even spell it Dianna. My sister's name is Diane and she has strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes.

well..... I might just call her Diana, it's probably due to just who people know that is called Diana. thanks!
