4 boys and 3 girls

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
thats a really good idea for a story!. However!.!.!.if it's okay with you I would like to give you some pointers first!.

First of all, seven characters is a lot of characters to manage!. Trust me I've done it!.!.!.and it wasn't easy!. I acutally ended up having to cut out dialogue and my reader got totally lost!. One of my boys names was Preston and I talked about Preston on page two and then didn't talk about him again until page seven and by then the reader forgot who Preston was!. See where I'm getting at!? You would have to single out your main main characters and then the others would just have to be along for the ride so to speak!. Now if you want, you can have two boys and two girls!. Four characters is a perfectly reasonable number of characters and you won't have as much trouble with a dialogue and your reader won't get lost in the who's who game!.

Secondly, I would love to give you a tip on personality characteristics!. This will help you come up with your own name!. One of the things I did in my creative writing course was take a simple survey, you can find like a simple myspace survey or something, and the take the survey as your character would!. So if your character is sarcastic for example like one of my characters was, you would want a sarcastic answer or something like that!. Like a good example was one of my characters, C!.J!., woud have answered the question "Whats your favorite newspaper" and he would answer "whatever I can read when I'm taking a!.!.!.!.!." or he would say "the funnies!." or something like that!. So you could give that a try and maybe take the survey for each one character and it will help you figure out who you want them to be!. Get in the mind of your character!. I can't suggest character possibilities for you because it has to be something that you can get into like if you want a sarcastic guy like C!.J!. or something!. So!.!.!.!.maybe then you can come up with names or even nicknames!. And make your characters become real people!.

I'll give you the names of my characters I've used:
These four following are siblings:

C!.J!. (Christopher Joseph) (Age 15)
Personality (sarcastic) Clique he'd be in (the Hot Topic shopping Goth/Emo!.!.!.whatever they are with the black chain pants and etcetera!.!.!.into anime!.!.!.etc)

Kelsey (Age 16)
(Personality; normal girl, lots of friends, seemingly perfect life, cheerleader till she broke her wrist, gymnast, shops at American Eagle/Abercrombie & Fitch favorite music is country pop, Christian rock, and alternative like Hawthorne Heights and Cartel)

Elizabeth (Lizzie) (Age 13)
(Personality: cute, wants to be a marine biologist when she grows up, shops at Limited Too)

Derrick (Age 15)
Personality: Kind of gangster C!.J!.'s twin brother, wears Sean John clothes, talks a little bit gangster, favorite music is rap & hip hop, but he doesn't like to go to dances or anything!. He's kind of a computer geek like his brother, but he's also into gangster like things!.

in a different story I had old fashioned guy names like Preston, Alvin, Spiro, and Sylvester (and etcetera!.!.!.that was the one I had too many characters on)!.

Anyway!.!.!.good luck and everything!. Have fun writing your story!. I hope I could help you as much as I could!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
