HelpRe: Tomboy names wanted?
in reply to a message by FictionPrincess31415
A good naming suggestion I've seen is to name your characters the way their parents would, not by their personality. Is the character a tomboy? Maybe her parents chose a super girly first name that she doesn't like, and that's why she decided to go by her surname.

Nah, I usually choose names based on their personality (what name fits best with their personality, look, persona) or names that I LUV or at least completely tolerate for the characters that I take to the heart.
Names that fit in with their siblings. That sort of thing.
My character isn't necessarily a tomboy type (actually she isn't at all. She's the very definition of the exact opposite)
I'm definitely leaning towards changing the spelling to Dillon and have that be her surname. Have her normally go by her surname as so I'm not *completely* changing her name. The only excuse for her I can come up with is that she perhaps prefer her masculine surname over her first name despite being a girly type or just wants an edge to her.
She's described as being around 16 or 17. Average height and weight. Naturally brown\wavy hair with blue eyes. (Attractive looking) she's one of those (and please excuse me. This is only my characters personality) popular, snobbish, snotty, selfish, gossipy types. One of those stereotypical kinds you see in films. But I don't necessarily need her name to be stereotypical. I essentially now just need a female name to go with the surname. I'll most likely keep the middle name. I can write in that Marie (even though a complete filler name) is a family name
