What should I name them?
So I'm writing a book about two people who run away together after knowing each other their whole lives. The guys name is Dalton, and he plays guitar, and has no friends, and is super close with his mom after his fathers death. But he's also kind of a mystery, and lives to take care of he girl. Who's name is Lillian. Her dad abused her mom till she was eleven, then he left, and ever since she's been so vulnerable and has a hard life with her drunken mom and flakey best friend. But they run away and I need fake names for them so no one finds them. Any ideas?

Can we stop with the 'abused her'? It's a super cliché and every beginner author tries to put that into the book. Honestly, how many kids ARE abused by their parents? Only a small fraction. From all the stories talked about on YA here it makes it seem like 99% of kids are abused.

Bruce after Bruce Springsteen, who wrote "Born to run" a song about a boy and a girl wanting to run away. For the girl I would go with Wendy, who is the girl in the aforementioned song, this way it can be a little homage
