I'm at a loss for a name for the main character of a novel I'm writing. I've changed it three or four times, and nothing seems to satisfy me. The character is a spirited, intellegent, and rather prococious teenaged girl with dark auburn hair (think Julia Roberts), blue eyes, and she's very tall. I'm kind of looking for something out of the ordinary, because the character's parents were extremely creative and they have lived all over the country. Help!

Seems lie we're relapsing to the pre-exorcism days, old fruit :(

Blame it on Nan. With an occasional exception, she's gotten too mellow lately.

MELLOW??? MOI???? I am *never* "mellow" -- just cool. And sometimes deceptively sweet. :)
Besides, I don't want to scare off any of the newcomers like Phyllis, Liberty, Selwyn, and Sarah Jeanne. It's been awhile since we had any one new come over to our schoolyard to play with us. :)
So, I've been behaving myself. I been good.
But if that chick Owyda comes back... WATCH OUT! ;)

You can't scare me off. Heck, if it wasn't for the fact that I have to use the school computers as often as I do and that I have a couple of midterm papers due right now (and I mean *right now*), I'd be bumming with you guys much more often.
Before you ask, one of the papers is for American Indian history since 1887 (on repatriation), the other is for Wicca and Neopaganism class (on the Kaballah and the Internet). I try to drop in as much as I can while searching the 'Net for *legitimate* reasons.

Hmmm. How about Angelise, Nina, Anastasia, Ginevra, Anya? Those seem like names creative parents would have given a child 15-18 years ago.

"Alice in Wonderland" PLUS!
Excellent suggestion, Selwyn! Especially since Heather's character's parents are supposed to be creative types.
Okay, so the mother's favorite childhood book is *Alice in Wonderland*. She cleverly anagrams a name for her daughter using all the letters in that title, including the letters of her own last name, and comes up with maybe any of these:
Candela Eldon Irwin
Candela Elinor Wind
Adelia Crown Linden
Ariadne Linden Cowl
Adrienne Linda Cowl
Celandine Rainwold
Celandine Nora Wild
All cool names for the character described by Heather, which also happen to be anagrams of "Alice in Wonderland".
