Nyami,

Here's what I've done for the longest time!. Get one of your DVD's and go directly to the credits!. Don't bother with the cast, but look at all the people behind the scenes!. Best Boy, LIghting Tech, Photographers, Assistants, etc!.!.!. There are a lot of names to choose from!. I simply take the first name of one and the last name of another!. You can get some unique names from doing this!.

Good Luck!

For last names, randomly pause credits at the end of movies, if you pass a cemetary, read some of those names!. On my computer's writing program, I make-up last names by picking out a trait or something that reminds me of the character in need of a surname!. For example, I had this pretty bad lady, so I looked up "connive!." After the definition of the word, any words you look up, it has its origination!. The origination was "connivere!." So I called the lady So-So Connivere!. For a totally different story, I named a family the Bonniveres!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Lilana Grace Allen / Maddy Lynn Allen / Drew Allen / Micheal Allen / Cameron Allen / Jace Allen

Lilana Grace Novak / Maddy Marie Novak / Drew Novak / Micheal Novak / Cameron Novak / Jace Novak

I wouldn't go with Case, or Chase (too much like her brother's name)!.
Cole Oliver / Cole Westley / Cole SandersWww@QuestionHome@Com

Jace is too close to Case, so change one!. And when I have trouble with names, I put myself on a writing break and watch T!.V!., movies, read books, etc, and jot down the names that catch my eye!. Then, work with what you have!.

Chow, best of luck!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
