I am thinking about writing a short novel out of entertainment for myself and family. The story will be about post apocalypse, year 2248. The population died off 100 years before that in a world wide war. Nobody can remember what had happened before the war. Nobody understands the rubble and broken down technology. It seems that everybody is content with their lives. That is, until the secret weapon is discovered. Man made a weapon that wiped out humanity, and It's not human at all... In fact, scientists have morphed the DNA of humans with wolves. So these were-wolves were used as weapons to kill, and only kill, not knowing emotions. They were lost, until 100 years after the war, confused and afraid.
This story has a lot of storyline not yet thought out. I am now looking for suggestions for names and personalities.
I am thinking of having:
Teenage male protagonist Teenage female protagonist Adult male in 40's who is antagonist and afraid of were-wolves two were-wolf men one were-wolf woman one were-wolf leader, current name - Wulfric (Meaning wolf-power or wolf-ruler) [can be changed] and any more names and characteristics helpful. Thank you in advance!

I am looking for un-common names. I am leaning towards a new world, so typical English names don't really hit the target I am aiming for.

Miss Domly's Lady, I really like the name Haden Warner, Kolin. Taylor, The name Claude and Tiara interest me, and I really like Abelard. Maybe, I will just name one of the male's Abelard, because they were created in the war, and given new names, not remembering their human lives.

teenage male: Will teenage female: Anne (i just love those names together) or the Male 40's antagonist: Jackson Were-wolf men: Claude and Simon Were-wolf women: Kayla and Tiara Were-wolf Leader : Abelard -meaning"noble strength" <i believe this is better because its not so direct-i imagine that these were-wolfs were once people, and therefore keep their human names--so id be a little too ironic if his name meant "wolf power"
Maybe you should have a father of the teenage girl-it would be moving if something bad happened to him also maybe a pregnant woman trying to stay alive and away from the were-wolfs
I really like your plot you have here and i hope that my names help and make it to the final copy-Have fun and good luck! :D
