What's in a Name?

Brrr….windchills are about 10 degrees below the air temp–cold for us Texans. Many of my students don't have coats, just hoodies. We ordinarily don't need them.

 

So, my gift book came with everything but names, and I can't find my list of favorite names, and I don't want to go back through my baby name book right now. I'm trying to remember names I've used already and wonder when an author can start recycling!

Hero names I've used: Seth, Taylor, Del, Mal, Ethan, Noah, Sam, Brady, Alex, Gabe, Adrian, Leo, Quinn, Maddox, Cullen, Zac, Trace, Cam, Nat, Marcus.

Heroine names I've used: Haven, Lauren, Lavender, Liv, Maddy, McKenna, Ellie, Lorelei, Bella, Peyton, Mallory, Trinity, Lily, Beth, Kyra, Paige, Kit, Willow, Brylie.

My hero in the gift book is early 30s,  a part-time bartender and a teacher, kind of bookish, wire-rimmed glasses but modeled after Alex O.

My heroine is the owner of the bar, early 30s, a bit rebellious in a conservative family. Not sure who I'm modeling her after yet. Not even sure what color hair she has. I thought blonde, but I've written a lot of blondes lately.

Anyone have any favorite names?
