I have a group of 4 teenage girls (13-15 in age) set in a pretentious New Hampshire all girls private boarding school for rich and wealthy. Set in current day, I'd appreciate some suggestions for first and last names and also a nickname for each girl.
Thanks, Melissa

I'd suggest heading down to your local public library or a used book store and looking for a book of baby names, or a book about the meanings of names.
I have one that I reference all the time-- it's old and not particularly complete, but it has enough of a variety that browsing through always comes up with something. Finding a book that includes the meanings of names is helpful because you can start by looking for the characteristics of the person you are trying to come up with a name for.
Each of your characters should have a name that reflects THEM, not something arbitrary that we suggest to you.

I would use the common name of girls that are popular name. This is taken from Writer's Digest Character Naming SourceBook, 2005 edition. I suggest you join the club.
Popular girls name in 2003 (which will work well in 2006)
1. Emily-Em
3. Madison-Maddie
5. Olivia-Liv, Livvie
6. Abigail-Abby
As for last names, Olivia Lowell, Emily Walton, Abigail Grady and Madison Leone. It all depends on their background and nationality.

Wow, that's not alot of discription to go on. I don't even know the genre, the plot, give the poor people some more detail, no wonder you can't think up a name for it.
