I'm writing another book!. It's about this group of kids whose parents disappeared!. They didn't die, they are just missing!. And so the kids have to live alone for a while!. I want to base the characters off my friends and family!. But I want to change the names so no one else knows!. So I need some opinions on these names and which ones you like better!. Pick one for each group of 3 plz!.
Adabella, Autumn, Avril (girl)
Morgan, Meg, Meggie (girl)
Ace, Aiden, Ajax (boy)
Kole, Kory, Kasey (boyish kind of girl)
Elizabeth, Essence, Elisa (girl)
Edward, Ethan, Edan (boy)

Autumn
Morgan
Ace
Kasey
Essence
Ethan
These names seem most believable as a real person!. Since your book is based on real people, the most believable names would be the best choice in my opinion!.

I presume you are American!? Have you thought about the nationality of your characters!? Or even the international appeal of a particular name!?
From a British perspective the names are not what I think you think they are:
Adabella (made up!? OK for school play but no futher), Autumn (a bit posy, hippy parents!? smacks of the kid in school of rock, but I know she was Summer), Avril (dated)
Morgan Meg and Meggie are very Welsh!. But nice, although Morgan is a boy's name!!!!
Ace (name of Doctor Who's FEMALE assistant in the 1980s although she was a bit butch - never heard of name since), Aiden (nice Irish boy), Ajax (well that's a toilet cleaner in Britain from the 1960's!)
Kole (sounds like a bad penny sweet (candy) worse spelled), Kory (badly spelled boys name), Kasey (same but worse as conflation of initials!?)
Elizabeth, fine, Essence (you've got to be joking other than for a hippy American kid), Elisa (same as Elizabeth for short, no difference)
Edward (fine, Ethan (very American mid west not used in Uk), Edan (surely not even in America!?)
I don't mean to be negative!. But names have meanings and associations that go across boundaries!. If you expect you characters to resonate internationally you need to try and explore a bit further than your own borders!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
