Hey everyone!
^No this isn’t about my coming sibling! Haha! :P^

I’m having a very hard time finding names for the characters in my story.
So I thought it would be fun to have a naming contest. I have four characters and can’t seem to come up with names for them. The names cannot be taken from another story, and I prefer if they were unique (either completely made up or names with nice/good meanings).
There are four characters:

  • Character #1 – A boy/man who is a strong leader.
  • Character #2 – A boy/man of ideas and a bit rowdy sometimes.
  • Character #3 – Girl who could be described as, “crafty.” But she needs a lady’s name.
  • Character #4 – Quiet boy/man who is very friendly and liked by everyone.

You can recommend a name for any of the characters. When we have enough names to chose from, my sister (Rebeka B.) and I will chose the winning names and I will announce them here.

I will make the finale choice -June 21, 2014- June 15th (Lord willing). Until than - have fun thinking of names! Thanks for all your suggestions! :)

That's actually four characters. xP Okay, I'll try to think of some/find some and I'll let you know what I come up with ;)

BTW, someone on here (I think it was Ian, but it may have been Nathan or someone else…) came up with a name for one of my knights, Sir Jace, and I'm really grateful for that. :) Thanks again to whoever that was!

@jimmy and Hannah - Haha! IKR? Good thing I put that disclaimer there!

ABIGIRL!!! You made me laugh soooooo hard! We will certainly consider your suggestion… but I think it would be very confusing if we named all of the characters Noah. :P :D

He's my blood-brother alright! xP ^We are still debating wither or not his submission can count. What do you think we should do to be fair? :)^

Ddd5aeff0d37e8c2aa9782a6316c57a8?s=128&d=mm

Sarah B.

Well, I was just thinking that since he is my brother… but I will talk to him. Maybe he would like to help us choose names. :)

I'll come up with some later… I have a huge list of names on a PDF on my laptop. ;) Are all the characters American? (Love the Noahs by the way!!!! :D)

33caa731aa135531af9eb65eabf44803?s=128&d=mm

Emmy

Thanks, Emmy! Why were you joking about the names you "submitted?" Am I missing some joke?

You're welcome ;)

Umm, because I just stole them from Adventures in Odessey characters that fit Sarah's descriptions xD

Emmy

Are all the characters American?/blockquote> Good question :) She told me her story takes place in a world she made up, so I don't think the characters are necessarily American ;) I could be wrong about that, though...

An Abbot, is the leader of a Monastery. It's less of a name, and more of a title.
