For my NaNo novel this year, my MC is the youngest of about nine or ten kids. She has one older sister, who is the oldest in the family, and the rest are brothers. Yep, brothers. (I have no idea how I'm going to write this since I don't have brothers, but that is beside the point.)

Point is, I need names for all these guys. My MC's name is Renna (nicknamed Ren). Here are some possible names I've already come up with, but I was hoping ya'll would have some suggestions:

Willis
Rueben
Avery
Shane
Roy
Jackson
Everett

I'm going for country-sounding names, but I don't want them to sound cliche, like Bobby Joe or anything.

Also, I need a name for Ren's older sister, so if you have any ideas on a name for her, that would be great, too.

So, if you have any name ideas, the Carters sure would appreciate it!

Hmm, let me think. For the girl's name:
Lindsay/Lindsey
Hannah
Ella/Ellen
Cora
Jamie
Jill

For the boys:
Cole
Jack
Hank
Alec
Robby
John/Jon/Johnnie (although that last one might sound cliche...

)
Kirk
Derek
Jeremiah/Jerry
Almanzo (I'm kidding on this one.)

I'll post if I think of some more!

I love the name Joel.

Kiev Shawn · **Posted:** October 26th, 2010, 7:44 am

Ooh, that's a good one!

Here are a few more:
Taylor
Davis/David
Nathaniel/Nate
Andrew
Terence
Tucker

These are all off the top of my head...

Ha ha.

Fun names so far! I especially like Tucker. That should be the youngest boy.

Helen
Angie/Agatha
Marty (they use that as a girl's name, don't they?)
Jennie (or another spelling)

Max
Sam
Martin
Ralph
Stuart
Maurice
Donald

Wow, Philadelphia, 3 of your names belong to people I know...All in the same family!

Adam
Benjamin
Caleb
Daniel
Gideon
Frank
Ephraim

(who knows where those are from?)

Airianna Valenshia · **Posted:** November 7th, 2010, 9:42 am

*laughs* Can't get much better than those, can you? You forgot the H Elanhil

Riniel Jasmina · **Posted:** November 7th, 2010, 8:15 pm

Reuben should be one of the oldest and Benjamin should be on of the youngest (you see what I did there?) it's hard to say without knowing their personalities though...

There was no 'H', was there? Oh yeah, the older sister should be Milly.

Kiev Shawn · **Posted:** November 7th, 2010, 9:58 pm

I like the spelling Millie, myself.

Rachel Newhouse · **Posted:** November 8th, 2010, 10:43 am

Clearly this all revolves around a joke of which I am not aware, but I do like the name Millie (and any variants thereof).

Elanhil · **Posted:** November 9th, 2010, 10:21 am

From an old, old, OLD movie, Phili. Everybody should see it. However, I won't disclose it's name. Not yet.

There was an 'H', remember.... at the end? Think spring.

Seven Brides for Seven Brothers

Hey! H could be for Hephsibah! However you spell that awful name.

Lady Shanai-Irisis · **Posted:** November 9th, 2010, 12:19 pm

Hehe, she did consider that name, but stuck with Hannah. Which if fine by me, I know both a Hannah and a Hepzibah.

Airianna Valenshia · **Posted:** November 9th, 2010, 12:28 pm

Yeah Elanhil. Hannah, Hagar, or Hepsiba were the three possibilities for the H. You haven't seen that movie recently obviously (well, neither have I, but I remembered the H

). However, this subject got really off topic everyone, so I think we should try to be the conversation to go back to helping the Carters find names.

p.s.
Evening, I thought Ren was the only daughter

Am I mistaken?

Elanhil · **Posted:** November 9th, 2010, 8:30 pm

Oh yeah, Hanah. Anyways, sorry for de-railing the topic.
