Mother's name?
For a story. I don't have much about her but this is what I have so far
Physical description: Naturally blonde hair (thin, or curley) and blue eyes.
Other: She wasn't exactly a good mother when her kids were younger primarily due to substance abuse (alcoholism) and quickly lost custody over them. Their stepfather had to step in and raise them(going back and forth between their stepfather and biological fatherHer Kids
Alice & Lucy (Non-twins)
Latest husband (Alice & Lucy's step dad who mostly raised them) FrancescoI originally was going to use "Lacey" but feel it may be too similar to "Lucy"
So I need lots of suggestions. Names that fit the character to a T. Names that sound they would belong on a lost, drug-addicted, trailer-trash type of woman? Has no sense of responsibility. No mean to offend anyone, this is just for a character.
Nothing ending in a strong E sound Just collecting ideas. Thanks!

I think, you should think about the type of person that would name their children Alice & Lucy. Also, what are their grandparents like? When was the mother born?

I guess I tend to think of names like this, more because of personal aquantances than anything else. Pam

Cynthia - goes by Cindy. Not to be TMI or rude, but except for the hair color - this pretty much describes my mother. Except it was my father, not stepfather, who raised us. Her name is the beautiful Cynthia... but she hates it and chooses to go by Cindy. Which just cements her personality. I like the idea of having a classy longer name with a more common or vulgar nickname... it shows the lost potential of the character. Besides Cynthia, something like Diana (Dee) or Angela (Angie) would work too.

I second this. I think Diana is lovely for this, or Angela. Something that can show transformation.Also this woman named her children pretty classic names, and I would wonder what that says about her preferences & personality, too.

What about Laurie or Lori? It's very similar to your first idea but a bit "rougher".

I like Lori a lot. Maybe short for Lauren, Lorraine, Dolores, Eleanore or Lenore?
