I'm writing a story, and need help with choosing names?

Arabella is pretty, but it'll evoke "Bella" from Twilight in people's minds, so unless you're writing that type of character, I'd stay away from it.

I like Constance for the sister, just because the name could be an allusion to a character trait... the sister your main character can rely on... who is constant. If that's not the sister, then don't use it.

If you don't use Constance for the sister, I'd use it for the main character. I'm not a fan of the name Alice, but I think it might work as an alternate for the sister, if you used Constance for your main character.

Other choices for your main character - I'm left with Violet.

Jezebel reminds me of someone who betrays. Fern is a plant and the spaced out 4th grader in the kids' show, Arthur. Ivy is a plant, too, but better than Fern, I think. Violet at least is a flower.

Boy's names... this is not a brother, so a love interest or friend?

James and Peter are strong names. They will be strong characters. I think Oliver is a strong name, too, but others would disagree.

Claude is either exotic (in it's French pronunciation) or redneck. It would depend on how you wrote him.

Clyde reminds me of a horse (Clydesdale).

Fletcher reminds me of that movie "Fletch", so I'm not a fan.

Dimitri is also exotic and can be a bad guy or betrayer, but doesn't have to be.

Jasper is the name of a national park in Canada. That's what I think of.

Phoenix is a city and the last name of a few brat pack actors.

For a love interest, I like James or Peter. For a friend, I like Oliver and maybe Fletcher.

Good luck with your story.

Girls :: I like Ivy and Violet. Unique, simple, classy. Definitely steer away from anything twilight related (alice) for a LONG time.

Boys:: James and Oliver, though Oliver isnt my favorite, but out of that last it is! as a said before, stay away from "jasper" and twilight related name. They'll become too cliche

girls: Arabella and her sister Violet.

def not Jezebel. implies bad things about her character.

boys.... i'm partial to Peter. that may be because i ♥ peter pevensie from The Chronicles of Narnia, though. ;) :P

beyond that..... yeah i dont really like the other ones. they're too crazy or something. James!

There are a lot of good names. Very hard to choose from!

Girls: Arabella & Violet

Boy: Oliver

Those names you never really hear, and they sound cool!
