I started a story a LONG time ago when I was on bedrest with my 1st set of twins, Bryce and Isobel. Now that I'm having my second set of twins and will likely be going on bedrest sometime soon, I thought I should pick up where I left off. But I never gave my characters names, which is where I could use some help.

Main Character: Pretty, black haired, blue eyed 18 yo back in the late 1700s living in England. Rich family, she's about to marry a duke. Any ideas? Also could use a last name...something sophisticated.

the Duke: Brown haired, green eyed, 24 yo...extremely rugged, but kind. Doesn't like the girl he's about to marry, but he's doing it because his dad told him to. Also need a last name for him.

That's all I'll bug you guys about for now. Thank you so much.!!

  • Interests:Well, obviously, I love names! They're so fun to look for and to search for the right name for the right character. I love writing, which is why I'm in constant search for a good name. I want to be an author one day, so my fingers are crossed. I also enjoy dance and hanging out with my friends.

Yeah, thanks!! I really like Corinne and Jane. As for a last name, I like Bingley...but that's a Jane Austen thing. Hmm, Matt suggested Middleton.
For the guy, Rupert sticks out as a definitely possibility.

I'm still not sure about the Duke's last name. Thanks for the suggestions!!

I like Ramsey for the "Duke"'s last name.
Or Cromwell...that's cool too.

Although once they're married, she'll be Corinne[if you pick it] Cromwell.

hmm....

Matt here...my lovely lady is sleeping as peacefully as humanly possible when two little girls don't want to stay still in very confined spaces. I can't say I blame them :unsure:

Libby has been thinking about names for her characters again and was going to post them...at least, I THINK she was going to. She writes post-its for everything she wants to do...and writing this was one of them. Oh well.

She likes:
-Edward
-Hugh
-Julian
-Louis
-Lewis
-James
-William

What do you think?
Thanks for helping her out. She's really excited about writing this story.
