Which name do you think fits better?

Question

So in my book, this'll can travel back in time by touching this tattoo she got.  But she likes this guy back home, but find his great, great, great, great granddad (or something similar) in the time period she can travel to and begins to fall for him while she tries to get back.  When she gets back she realizes she actually likes that time period and transports back on her on will.  But then she begins to fall in love with the old-fashion boy, my MC doesn't know if she should stay in that time period to be with him or what.

(ok, so give me your opinion on this really brief storyline to, please.)

Then my real question is:  which boy ( modern or old) should have what name?

I am between Daniel and Kieran (Kie).  But, if you have any other suggestions, please list them.

They boys both have thick, black, straight hair and black eyes, although the old-fashion ones look more black than the modern boys.  They're tall and lean with an athletic build.  The main difference is how they look at the world though.  The modern boy doesn't really care what happens as long as he's with someone he cares about.  He doesn't even know if he wants to graduate college.  The modern boy is also in a band called Heads Verses Tails.  The old fashion dude wants to go far.  His parents are nobles In a time era I don't know yet ( either the 1920s or 1840s)  the old fashion boy is wealthy but just wants to succeed on his own.   

So who would you name who?  This is basically what I am asking in  shirt:

>what would you name each boy?  (Kieran, Daniel, or one of your picks?)
>do you like my very brief story line?  Any tips?
>what is you opinion on the era?  (1920s or 1840s? )

Ok!  Thanks in advance...!  Ten points to the best answer to all three of those questions.

Hey!
The storyline seems pretty good, it's a bit weird though how she goes back in time by touching the tattoo, that's just my opinion though.

If your using the names Kieran and Daniel, definitely give Daniel to the old guy, Kieran seems quite modern and Daniel is more timeless.  My own suggestions...... maybe something a bit rocker for the modern one, he just seems kind of like he'd have one of those type of names, especially as he's in a band..... maybe Kyle or Xander?  Something like that.  Jacob, Tyler, Ronan?  Kieran is okay though.

For the older guy, maybe when you decide on the time era you could look up popular names from that time and see if there's any you like.  Like:

1920 - Daniel was actually no.4 most popular name in England at this time, so if you go for that time Daniel would be quite a good choice!  No. 3 was James, No. 2 was Thomas and No. 1 was Jack.  Some ones that were in the top 100 I think I nice are - Liam, Charles and Ross.

1840 -   I couldn't find anywhere that had records of names from this era, but you'd imagine there'd be lots of Edward's and Thomas' and Henry's.

I think 1920 might be a better time era because it's that bit closer to our time and there's more to write about, just coming out of the war and that.

Good luck and hope I helped =)

ok  so great story line. very nice. Than out of the two boy names i choose kieran for the now period and Daniel for the old back in time period. now the black eyes are little wierd. maybe trying to connect them to something, like he got abused when he was little or something. yiu know what i mean.Now i feel like the 1920's are to close so i would choose 1840's for that time period. Hope you have a nice book and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!! 2011 here we come!!

If you are going for NOBLES, go for like 1558–1603, the Elizabethan Era. If you want really rich successful families, go for 1840s. 

I would name the old fashioned boy Benedict or Lysander, maybe Gabriel. Kieran definitely for the the modern one.

Or more modern:

Jake
Kai
Isak / Isaac
Nate
Toby 
Dane 
Evan ***
Ashton ***

I'd have got to say Hayley is higher. I snapshot Danielles with like a darker hair colour. I've recognized extra Danielles than Hayleys in my lifetime. I suppose Hayley is extra customary.
