HELP!
Names Ideas - I am writing a NEW book.
I don't seem to be able to start until I have the characters names.
I've already written an outline, so I know more or less where the story is going but I am so stuck on the names thing!
It's hard because if I pick a name of someone I know, then they are the person I think of when I am writing about that character.
If I give you a brief on the characters please let me know what you would name them?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I've already got WILL - early 20's, med school drop out and heading home to save the family business which is a funeral home and things get very shady.
Will's DAD - ARTHUR?
Not sure, but he is a serious man and controlling of his wife and verry hard on Will but not his sister.
Is Arthur Harrison his name?
Will's SISTER - 19 years old ish.
Nice enough girl, didn't go to Uni, stayed home to help family business. No idea of her name.
Will's MUM - beautiful and elegant and generally lovely.
Is controlled by the husband. No idea of name.
Will's GIRLFRIEND - comes from a wealthy family, early 20's, has been very ill with heart failure but gets a transplant. No idea of name.
There are other characters but once I have these I think I can start!
Thanks for any ideas x
