Subject: Help with Character Names

Okay I've been messing around every so often trying to find the right names for these characters and I've had such a hard time with it.

The main characters cousins name is Ramona. The main characters younger sister is named Natalie.

I want the main characters name to start with M. I also want it to not end with the same sounds that Natalie and Ramona end with. So no -əh or -ee ending M names.

I also want her name to be something that could be popular in the US or Canada in say 10 to 15 years. At first I was thinking her name should be Michelle. Then I changed my mind to thinking it should be Megan or Meagan. But now I'm feeling like Michelle and Meagan might be too dated in 10 - 15 years.

I want her to have an interesting, uncommon name that isn't too out there.

Her personality is going to be reserved but adventurous. She is very curious. She seems like someone who would shy away from any real danger but when she needs to be she is very strong and will boldly face it. She is a sweet person who often daydreams or likes to quietly think to herself. She isn't a tom-boy or a frilly girl, she is somewhere in between. She will have brown hair and green eyes.

Thank you everyone for your help. I can't wait to see the names you guys come up with.


Also I'm curious what you guys think about Ramona and Natalie? Natalie plays volley ball and is a very social girl who has brown hair. Ramona is dirty blond and loves scary movies, classic punk rock, plays rugby and she likes to dye her hair. Do you feel that their names fit them? I was considering Naomi instead of Natalie. I was considering Regina instead of Ramona.


(Edit: Removed Noemi since it is pronounced differently that I thought. I decided that I didn't care for the way that it is pronounced.)
