I'm writing a story with characters born in very different years and I'm having trouble finding sites with any good names i can use. I don't want the name to me TOO unique or difficult to pronounce- this would take away from my story. But i also don't want any names such as: John, William, Joseph, Mary etc... soo here are the genders and birth year of each character:

Male- 1973

Female- 1925

Female- 1897

Male- 1849

Male- 1739

I know kinda jumpy with the years ^_^

If you can help, I'd really appreciate it a whole lot<3

-K-

oh.. P.S. i also have a normal character X] SHE is 17. i named her Grace but i just wanted to see if any of you might have some better suggestions (she's shy if that helps). again..thanks

  1. male 1973, maybe Keith, Paul, Denny, Roland, Markus, Brent, Derrick

    female 1925-Tessa, Isobel, Claire, Stella, Bette, Eleanore

    Female-1897 Amelia, Isabella, Iris, Maisie,Lydia, Elizabeth

    As for the 17 year old, Grace is a nice name. I like Emily and Emma, too.

  5. These are names from my family.  And also some names of friends of theirs.  I know you say you don&#039;t want names such as John, Mary, etc. but you say you want it to be authentic.  So I am giving you names of real people around that time.

    1- Larry, Barry, 2 Edwards, one called Eddie, Mike, John, Kevin, Mark.  All in their early 20&#039;s in &#039;73 and all in Michigan.  Denny and Ray for little boys in &#039;73.

    2- Hazel, Anna, Rose, Edith.  All in early 20&#039;s in 1925.

    3- Anna (different Anna).  Would have been 29 in 1897.

    4- Milton, Oscar, Orville.  In early 20&#039;s in 1849.

    Don&#039;t know of anybody in 1739.  I could look up authors and presidents to see when they were born and how old they were in what year, etc but I don&#039;t feel like it.  Too lazy.  :P

  6. Rip off names from Lord of the Rings.

    like Gandalf.
