Hi.. I'm in the process of writing a novel: Young Adult, dystopian. I need names for the main characters: two women and two men, but I don't know what to choose yet. Do you have any ideas?

What do you have in mind? like are there any letters (the first letter of a name) you want to avoid? you want a unique name or something used a lot like John Sara ... etc
girl names you can use: •Abby, Mia, Riley, Evelyn, Scarlett, Luna, Bonnie, Claire, Ivy, Isabella, Denver, Valentina, Violet, Hailey
and boys names:
•Alec, Alex, Luke, Liam, Noah, Asher, Mason, Leo, Hunter, Austin, Max...

there are a lot of unique Gaelic names! a lot of websites will tell you the meanings behind them too
Hi CannetteA brief description of the characters would help! Sometimes when I write I don't get a name until I've written out their characteristics.
Can you give us a few for each?
ALSO there is a website I use to help me with name ideas. I've used it mostly for last names or naming places but there are sooo many categories. I'm unable to link it here but it's:
www. fantasy name generators . com
(It's not just fantasy stuff so DW)
Courtney is one for a female and Harris for a male. This is random but pretty useful. Otherwise it depends on what sort of name you want and the personality/appearance of the character.
Girls: Lilah, Elli/Elly, Mazy, OrchidGender Neutral: Jax, Mac, Danny/Danni, Max, Ez, Kilo (Courtesy of my Enby friend, I am stealing their name for this 🙏)
Boys: Indigo, Eli, Rex, Torin, Ty
Random story: I know authors try to be creative when coming up with names for their characters but I swear sometimes they be giving the most awkward random names , that worst then celebrities naming their kids
I once I read this book and one of the character's name was Mapy. like seriously?! MAPY😭 and then there was another one whose name was ZameZon but it was giving amazon. I will try to look for da books😭
Girl: Alia, Hazel, Mai, Maisy, AlexaBoy: Blake, Xavier, Xander, Josh
i honestly have no idea. im so bad at boy names 😭
Girls: Paedyn, Amelia, Alithea, Adeline, Emily, Amanda, Celeste, Aria, BryceBoys: Cameron, Adrian, Maxon, Alexander(Xander for short), Lennox
omg. So many. Thank You so much! :-D . You helped me :) .The book is about a young girls and boys kind of superheroes in futuristic dystopian world. I inspire these names. Thanks :)
Nikoli, Asher, Natalie, Winnifred. Markus, Vincent, Harriett, Gwen.
Uhm.. What kind of feel are you wanting?
