Question:
Character Names For a Story?
?
2011-01-14 17:30:55 UTC
I recently decided to continue a story I started ages ago, but the names just don't seem to fit the characters now that I've reassessed who they are. I feel like some suggestions from a third party would help

It takes place in the 1880s in Arizona, so please no suggestions of anything like "Chase" or "Cadence"

Character 1: male, 32 years old, United States Marshal, very serious about his work, very good looking, not at all superstitious, loyal, stubborn, originally from Texas, is an educated man, though he was never very interested in his studies, stern and even condescending at times, despite his ways he is a good man
His surname is Lilly

Character 2: female, 19 years old, daughter of the late and longest lasting town marshal of Canyon Diablo, Arizona, headstrong, raised by a single father thus giving her some slightly masculine mannerisms, not very superstitious but believes the thing tormenting her town is more than a man, very determined
Her surname is Beausoleil

Character 3: male, 20 years old, gunsmith apprentice, very sweet, has loved C2 since they were children, often assumed to be weak, as he is a bit scrawny at the start of the story, wants to prove himself and impress C2, loyal, dislikes C1 as he fears C2 will choose to be with him

Please no links or rants, I just want names.
