I love it when Mr. Silver is home. Except for the fact I get nothing done, of course.

Also, I have to rename two characters. Help!

(I am so having decision fatigue today, and Emma is sick of helping because I am really, really picky…)

PROBLEMS:
Character 1’s name was Bette, but it’s too similar to another character’s name (Beth).
Character 2’s name was Connie Weaver, but the first name it too is too similar to another character’s name (Carmen). The surname contains a W, which it can’t.

Character 1 is elderly, and very sweet.
Character 2 is in her forties, a successful business owner in a scientific field.

Ethnicity doesn’t matter.

For the replacement first names, there are rules.

Replacement names can start with the letters:

A
G
K
O
U
V
X
Y
Z

But cannot contain “ll” (two Ls).
Names cannot contain six letters. More or fewer is fine.
Names cannot end in k.
Character 2’s surname cannot contain a W.

Jeez. This is like a logic puzzle, isn’t it? No wonder I can’t come up with anything!

Anyway, help me with this, and get your name listed in an upcoming release’s acknowledgements. Along with my undying gratitude — renaming folks at the eleventh hour is crazy tiring for some reason…

  10. Man, I should come to you all every time I’m stuck on names. This really, really helped.

    Since so many of you suggested it, Character 1’s name is now Grace.

    Character 2’s name, soon as I saw it, jumped right off the monitor and bit me: Kate Regan.

    So LOTS of you will be in acknowledgements very soon. Thank you so much.
