    Give me a clue on his heritage? He could be an Aidan or a Giovanni or a Viktor. What’s his personality like? Is he a Jack? A Prescott? A Gabriel? Now, all that said, if I were simply looking at this picture and trying to name him, I’d go with something one syllable and strong. Jack. Cade. Scott. Luke. Mark. Matt. Nick. Sam. Kurt. Zach. Not quite from A to Z, but some ideas, hopefully.

    Naming a character is one of the hardest things I do as a writer. I’ve even had a character inform me half-way through the book that I had his name wrong. Yeah. I fixed it to what he wanted. :rotfl1:

    Oh my! Let me think!! :D Scott, Sean, Tucker, Taylor, Alan, Eric, Ryan, Chad, Neil. I’m sure more names will pop into my head as the day goes.

    When do we get to hear more about this new book?

    Coming up with names is really hard for me, too. I agree with what Silver said, the one syllable, strong name. But I don’t have anything new to add to the list. Sorry. :?

    Is this him (hawt)? Troy or Toby? I’d go for more of the ‘short, but strong’ names. I was just thinking when I saw this list…I was never really a fan of “Christian” (although, I understand the Biblical reference) in that “49 plus one” book.
    I also like all of Donna M’s choices (although, probably not Taylor, as nowdays, Taylor is typically a ‘girls’ name).

    Karen C says:

    Everyone has suggested such great names. I’ve always liked the name Declan.

    You have probably used a lot of my favorite names, I don’t like to read a book where I have to stop and try and figure out how to pronounce their name. Here are some that sound like strong men to me
    Corde
    Galen
    Garrett
    Chet lee
    Jaxson
    Bylin
    Chaz
    Bey
    and I like a name that makes you wonder if he is a strong man- like Joe Lilac
