Name my characters?

I%26#039;m in the process of writing a dark fantasy. I have the general idea in my head, but need name to complete it.





It will be for Young Adults (YA) aka teens.





It is about a vampire girl whose name is undecided, and she is moved with her family because of an incident that occured with her %26#039;cousin%26#039;, who is really just another vampire. His name is Demetrey, and he killed a human girl.





They are made to go to a public high school, but dont know that the highshool, Shiloh Central High School, is already inhabitated by a group of werewolves.





I need names for these poeple





-Main character, a vampire. She is tall with pale skin and long brown/red hair. She is clumsy and has a knack for finding trouble.





possible names for her are:


-Lillian Seare Eripmav


-Vida Lee Eripmav


-Shane Oriel Eripmav


-Elizabeth Blaine Eripmav





And the werewolf boy who she falls in love with. He is tall, dark, handsome, and very very smart.





possible names


-Jonas Regal Ire


-Bartholomew Firenz Ire
Name my characters?
I would never never never let a total stranger name my characters!!! For first names, I use a site called Behind the Name with thousands of names and their meanings. For surnames, I use the US Census Bureau list of surnames starting with the most common and going to the least common. The list is online.

They%26#039;re, Their, There - Three Different Words.





Careful or you may wind up in my next novel.





Pax - C
Name my characters?
I normally go to www.babynames.com. As for the last names, I just type in %26quot;American last names%26quot; on the Google tool bar. Your names sound pretty good anyways. Good luck with your book! =]
Reply:This sounds like the Twilight series.


Cough, cough.


For her: Shay, Jade, Alexia.


For him: I really don%26#039;t like those names, and it%26#039;s hard to suggest names (there are sooo many names!!) when we don%26#039;t know anything about him. Look in a name book or something.


Jordon, Lucas...i can%26#039;t think of any others right now..
Reply:The name has to mean something to you. It is difficult to connect with a name someone else chose for your character. IT has to describe an essence of the character%26#039;s personality or the reverse. If there was just some guy named John, we wouldn%26#039;t really feel that he was special. Unless you had good reason for him being so. I know of a really good couple of name sites but I can%26#039;t remember what they%26#039;re called... Try Google, you can look up names by gender and ethnicity, and there are some pretty good fantasy name generators out there too.
Reply:This book you writing sounds to much like the twilight series by Stephenie Meyer. Especially the Main Character. But any way for the girl I like Alainn Campbell and for the the werewolf i like Killian Gallagher.
