Hi I'm writing a book and I would like peoples opinion on which name to assign to this character. The character in this book is: * female * very friendly * a bit shy * funny * a bit *cluless* at times (but in a funny and cute way) * is always happy and smiling * is very comforting at sad times. * she is very pretty * has browny-orange hair * is in her 20's. I went on google to find a picture that closely reflects on the appearance of the character in the book and these are the closest that match the description: I would like for people to choose the TOP 5 names from the list below (in order from best to worse) that they think best suits this character. Alyssa Angela Ashlee Bianca Claire Crystal Diana Holly Ivy Jasmin Jennifer Jess Kate Mindy Samantha Skye Sophia Sophie Yvonne PS: If you think you have a better name (that's not on the list feel free to mention it. Thanks for your help.
how can anyone really say what will be best, when we don't know when and where this story is set, or anything about this girl's background, social level, ethnic origin, et al.?
Alex, were you named by committee? You brought the character into the world. You should name her, and preferably before she is fully grown. Real people don't "look like" their names. That's only in the mind of the person looking at her, and relating to characteristics of other people in the observer's experience.
What is someone is a clown and there name is also Clown? Wouldn't they resemble a clown? And if Clown is their name, would they not resemble their name also?
