Help me name some people
I was dragged to campus today by DH under the assumption that I would get some work done on my novel. So far, not so much luck.
I'm stuck on names and I'm having a hard time skipping them to come back later. When all is said and done I'm submitting to Harlequin.
Main lady character, first and last name
Main man character, her love interest, first and last time
Man's son, adorable subplot, first and maybe middle name?
Any ideas would be really helpful, I'm terrible at naming anything ever (god help us if we ever have children). It won't get published most likely, so you won't get any credit, except that I will love you forever.
Re: Help me name some people
Ooh, I love naming things. I'm helping one of my old professors with a book she's writing and I just got to assign pseudonyms to a whole bunch kids she mentions in it. So much fun!
Where are your characters from? Any particular nationality or ethnicity?
BFP on Jan. 18; EDD Oct. 1
They're all in VA though the woman moved there from NY (state not city). The boy is about 5 years old. I'm trying to avoid naming the woman starting with a J. I don't like the name Steven or any variation of that.
They're all WASPs.

ohh fun! Is this present day? How wealthy are they? This may determine the "trendiness" of my answers (i.e. Sterling I pulled from my best friend's days of prep school..she was in love with this kid named sterling winston)
I really like Meredith Hughes..
maybe Jillian or Rachel? Sorry, no help with last names
Man: Sterling, Jacob, Michael, William
Son: hmm I'll think about it and get back to you
Yes, thank you everyone for the awesome suggestions!! These are really great. I'll mull it over and pick something and whatever is left over I can use for subcharacters. WOOT!
I got about 1500 words (5.5 pages) today for 5 hours of working/distracted by knotting. I need about 55,0000 words so it's going to take awhile I'm afraid.

this!!
I'm writing for the Harlequin "American Romance" (there are a lot of subgenres for Harlequin) which doesn't have as much smut as, say, their "Blaze" books.
Unfortunately, I'm not going to share the basic plot. I love you guys, but anyone on the Internet can see these boards, they show up in google searches, and I don't want someone to steal my idea before I have the chance to try and make it work

Good point! I always forget about that. Well, anyway, good luck!
