or two sisters one named greed and the other named death.
Sort of like truth in advertising about people I imagine.

Asking us for homework help is sort of, in fact, is against policy here... I believe. Could a mod correct me on this?

So nothing to do with naming the kids you've had with the girl you have locked in you cellar?

sorry I'm watching a documentary about that Austrian guy.

Give them a some what weird name. And make it something that your more bored/ nerdy readers can find something deeper with. Such as IBM to HAL.
So like a word play off of something that describes her main character restrict.

It would depend on the context; that'll reveal everything about its' intended purpose.

People shouldn't guess that sort of thing until after they have read the story. HAL to IBM might be easy, but something about a character should take much longer to guess. For people I imagine it would only be your avid reader saying wow she is greedy and the realizing her name is an anagram of that or some such.

I've always been partial to Valentina, Irene, Isotta.

Mariana and Isabel I also like.

Liesel! :)

What type of school would give this as a homework?

I was forced to embark on creative writing projects all the time at school. Personally I found it torture. But then, I sucked at anything remotely creative.

My daughters name is Sicily.

Named after where her moms family is from.....

I was forced to embark on creative writing projects all the time at school. Personally I found it torture. But then, I sucked at anything remotely creative.

But creative writing would be more than just coming up with a female name.

Also same I didn't enjoy doing creative writing at school either unless it would be some sort of visual assignment eg. oral presentation, acting something out, poster etc.

The OP mentioned that the reason he needed the name was for some kind of thing he was writing...

I've always liked Isabella. Has a nice ring to it.

Ny first GF was named Fabrizia. from somewhere outside the US, though i didn't pay attention to where (was 13 was trying to get my hand under her shirt at the time).

Just stick with Greed Ann Death. The old ways are the best ways.

Artemis, Remi, Diane (pronounced di-AIN, like rain)...hm...female names are hard...any male characters you're making? I could help with that.

She's named after that stuff you spray on your carpets so they don't stink?

That's Fabreeze and I spray that on my clothes so i don't have to wash them as often.

LaTrina

Amie (means friend in French, pronounced like Amy... its my gf's name :P)

I'm a huge fan of the name Olivia.. or Evelyn.

It would be pretty awesome if someone named their daughter that.

I'm gonna do it!

Now I just have to convince my wife to go for it.

Good luck with that one bud ;-)

What kind of story/characters are you going for? Fantasy? Modern/real life? Sci-fi? The nuances for each will be different.

We actually have a fairly traditional marriage, we both respect me as the leader of the household, and if I am adamant, what I say goes... she just usual tells me what I 'say'... :tongue:

Rachel has always been my favorite gal's name. Margaret, Michelle and Maureen are close behind.

The main part of your avatar causes a sudden growth in my pants. (not the heart... obviously).

My daughters name is Sicily.

Named after where her moms family is from.....

Thank god my parents didn't do that... I wouldn't want to be named Loch Ness...

Whenever girl's names come up, I advise "Ginger." No one listens to me, so I'm just going to give up on that battle.

Henrietta is a good name. I think it is Italian, or something.
Tapiwa, Noelia, Jaryne, Amarachi, Amadi, Nadia and Uzoma are all uncommon female names I've encountered. I'm pretty sure most of them are of African origin (Noelia, Nadia and Jaryne are more European or something).

mmmmmmBob

So, does she ever disagree with you? Does she fight for her opinion, or is it just more or less like what you say, go?

If that's the case, then that just sounds boring.

I can guarantee you that ain't mandokarla in yer pants, ner vod. ;)

Melody, Samara, Philippa.

Nothing to really show for sure that this is homework.

That said, what about Alexandria, Ozymandia, Cleopatria, Xerxia, Sheba, or Kevin?

Freya!

You kind of missed the punchline.

"I'm king of the house. She knows that whatever I say goes.

It's just she usually decides what I say..."

The joke being that while technically he's in charge, she's the one who effectively rules the household.

And now the joke is ruined. :(

JoceLynn Aryan Nation?

Zoe, Violet, Aurora.

Chloe, Charlotte, Dierdre, Eve

The OP mentioned that the reason he needed the name was for some kind of thing he was writing...

Serves me right for not reading the OP fully.

Zoe, Violet.

Both of which we very nearly named my daughter.

Lilith (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilith)

Coolest Girl ever, I want to name my daughter that if I ever have one...

If I have a daughter she will be named Samantha Marie, its not negotiable.

Why is this?

I don't know. I love that name, and that will be my daughter's name.

Ah, I see. Well, my girlfriend and I love the name Olivia Eve (and oddly enough, the boy name Oliver is awesome too ;) )

Some ideas: get Oregon Trail and use the random name list for your party to choose names.

Or go with the trend and make their first names out of Scottish last names like Mackenzie (I know someone who actually did that...)

For really unique names I like to go with taking English names and translating them to Irish Gaelic, works great for Fantasy stories...

like, for alot of Role Playing I use the name "Cathal Agtobar" which is a close Irish translation of my name...

So, does she ever disagree with you? Does she fight for her opinion, or is it just more or less like what you say, go?

Lol... no, I meant that I make the decisions... and she tells me what those decision are, as in, she ahs all the real power. It was a joke (but still pretty true).

If you want to write a good story, then write the entire thing all the way through, and then once you're done switch all the genders.

If you're like most writers, you'll discover that some of your characters were poorly-constructed, cliche, and only existed as props for other characters. You'll find yourself thinking that these characters seem very silly when they are given the male gender, yet they made perfect sense to you when they had the female gender.

Even self-identified feminists often are surprised by the results of this exercise. It is a very helpful one if you're interested in improving your ability to write compelling characters.

I used this when I was finding character names. The meaning helped me to define my character. Then the character wound up not being anything like their name.

writing a story and im terrible at names

Generally, when coming up with names for a story, it's often useful to find a name that possesses a meaning that describes a central characteristic of a character. For example, if your character, say, has a motivation revolving around never wanting to feel alone or unloved, you could find a name that means "alone" and give them that name.

It's certainly better than ascribing a random name, or worse, doing what I used to do and coming up with nonsense words, like the name for my nation.

Thats incredibly good advice

Tropes are not cliches. (Most of the time.)

Tropes are themes, which, when overused, become cliches. And everything that can be done has been overused.

Kloe.

I've always liked Julia. I don't know why. Or Deirde, because it comes with the nickname "D" as standard, which can only be a good thing.

Always loved Georgia. Plus you can call her George and fuck with people's expectations.

If a character's gender is entirely irrelevant to what they do, they're probably not very well drawn or realistic.
Tropes are themes, which, when overused, become cliches. And everything that can be done has been overused.
A cliche is a saying that has lost its meaning. A trope cannot become a cliche, but a proverb, metaphor or piece of advice can.
Your misuse of the word is symptomatic of the word "cliche" having become self-descriptive, and, in doing so, it has lost its descriptive powers.

Chloe, Charlotte, Dierdre, Eve

I like Deirdre, perhaps because I can call her DeeDee. Ofelia also strikes my fancy, and Anais.

Atalanta and George.
