This week I've been on the hunt for a name for my heroine, one that isn't too drab nor too fancy. And for her husband, a name that is solid, strong, dependable, and slightly boring. Then they need a last name, too! One that rolls off the tongue and might be seen on the cover of a book, but not sound snooty or rich. And of course it has to flow well with both the couple's first names. See how hard this is?
So I thought I'd poll my visitors on some possible names.
(if you pick "other" make sure you leave a suggestion.)
For my heroine: a modern day wife, mother, and aspiring author. Middle class.
For her husband: a solid, hard working, quiet kind of guy.
Last names:

I voted!
I like Meghan and Paul Fletcher. :-) I started to vote but it brought me to a funky pop-up so I'm just telling ya. ;-)
Always the hardest for me too! Sounds like it should be the most fun and creative part, but I end up renaming mine in the middle of the script sometimes. Anyway, I liked Robert and Brooke Mitchell - throwing in that last name:) I tried to vote but it wouldn't let me...could be my old computer though. (Meghan was a close 2nd for girl's name for me)
I voted ... "other" for first names and chose one of your last names. Piper and Sterling Townsend. :)
I voted for Meghan and Steve Powers. :) Hope that helps!!
Names are hard for me too - almost as hard as book titles (and that's hard LOL). I voted for Holly and Steve Fletcher. Hope you get a good idea for the names here!
I voted for Dan & Meghan Townsend. I like "Stone" better but thought it was maybe too 'strong' unless your character needs to exhibit a lot of strength...or if she has a heart of "stone"...I think that word just provides a lot of mind pictures & 6th sense...so that could be really good or really bad. Townsend to me is just very "normal" so if you're going for normal...that's what I would pick. ;-) Fun with the voting! ;-)
Thanks everyone! I'm seeing a lot of "Meghan" answers but still quite spread out with hubby and the surname. I like them all and apparently so do you, lol. We may need some tie-breakers. =)
Sue, how cool that you suggested Zoey... I named one of her daughters that! *grin*
