What should I name this character?

Question

Hi there! I've been writing a story for the past 2 months and I'm a quarter of the way done. But, I have yet to pick my main character's name. I just leave a blank where her name is going to be. So, I have some options, but I'd like help in deciding which one to use.

This girl is 18 years old and is just graduating High school. She had red hair and blue eyes. Her body type is normal/athletic and her face is relatively pretty. Eventually, She gets turned into a vampire. So, here's the choices.

Miranda

Leslie

Kiya

Courtney

Shaylyn

If you have suggestions of your own, they would be greatly appreciated...thanks!

Answer 1

Why don't you start off with say miranda then when she gets changed into the vampire change it to shay or shaylyn sounds like a vampire name.  

Answer 2

Miranda is a greate name because it could be a normal name but at the same time kinda scary!!

Answer 3

How about just Shay? I love the name Shaylyn, but to people who haven't seen the name before, it is hard to read. Shay is perfect!

Or if you don't like Shay, I like Courtney or Miranda.

Answer 4

I vote for Miranda.

Answer 5

shaylyn that is a really cool name

Answer 6

Miranda

Answer 7

Is she a vampire cheerleader? Id go with Scarlett or Amber

Answer 8

By looking at the description of your character, Miranda goes really well I think.

Answer 9

Cadence

Victoria

Rosa

Ella

Anna

Answer 10

out of ur choices id pick Kiya.. I also like the names Shiann, Linda (my name lol) Taylor, Aundrea, Kimmie, Casey, Blair, Blaine,  

Answer 11

The suggestion of Scarlet... that's a great idea.

Scarlet, or a foreign name meaning Red/Blood.

Answer 12

Im naming my kid (if I ever had on) Scarlet, it kinda matches dont you think?

Red is scarlet, and if you look up scarlet, sometimes it shows the color of blood :[ vampiresss..

Hey, if you ever get that published, I wanna see some credit to me :DDD That'll be cool. Just put in "Thanks to the girl on Yahoo! Nicknamed Bianusia " XDDD

Answer 13

Well, Kiya sounds like a car brand and Shaylyn doesn't flow too well (many people have never seen the name) I'd say Courtney or Miranda.

Answer 14

strictly speaking, out of what you have;

miranda.

Answer 15

& her name should be Miranda

Answer 16

Red hair, you say? Amber would suit her perfectly!

Answer 17
