I'm some way into writing a novel, and I need a name for one of the characters.

I've written up to this point without one, but I feel she really needs a name that FITS now, to help me continue!

She's a character that is dead throughout the novel, and therefore only reffered to.

She had very strictly Christian parents - which would affect the name choice, obviously... But I don't want a name that sounds too nice or soft, because her death wasn't a nice or easy one although the reader wouldn't know this at first...

The character was a fairly hysterical/emotional person, who died when she was in her mid-twenties.

She dated a character called Alex - so it would be nice if the name didn't clash horribly with this, as the phrase "Alex and ____" would be used a fair amount.

Other characters include Kate and Jake, and the minor characters Rose and Stephen.

Any ideas? At all? I know it's not much to go on, but I can't think of a name that FITS!

How about something like Lucy or Sarah. Alex and Lucy sounds nice together and Sarah and Alex also sound good together. Both sound fairly christian. And they sound like someone young and not someone middle aged or too old.

Miranda
I don't know why, but it appeals to me with Alex, and its a name that can be both strong and soft.

Miriam is a Hebrew name, its Hebrew for Mary. Not the other way around.

How about Hanna (blessed by God), Mariah (a form of Mary), Louisa (battle maid), Katherine (Pure), Faith, Grace, Hope, Gwen (fair), Imogen (imagine), Johanna (God's gracious gift),
Nancy (grace), Olivia (symbol of peace), Rachel (female), Ruth (friend), Yvette (God is merciful).
Good luck with the writing.

Hmmm....

Some very popular Christian names are:
Angela.
Dinah
Martha
Mary
Miriam.

I would go with Miriam. It means rebellion. It is a Christian name, and seems to go well with Alex.

Ok so that is the beginning of my biblical name list. LOL. There is a ton more, but Jezebel may be perfect.
