Picking My Next Book's Right Female Character's Name
Help.
I've drafted a short list of possible female names for the main character in the next new novel I'm writing. I don't have the premise developed yet, so I don't have the plot worked out. I know the narrative will take place in October 1974, and set in the rural Piedmont area of Virginia.
If you have any comments or inputs on the following list, I'd love to hear them. They'll help me in making the final choice.
1. Ginny Cobalt
2. Mickie Lancer
3. Lacy Iglesias
4. Opal Sweeney
5. Aimee Zoltowski
Thanks!

Like number one and maybe number 4. Don't like the others at all. Of course, what really matters is what you do with them.

Opal Sweeney stands out to me. Number 3 is too S heavy in sound.Ginny would be odd because it's a dimunitive of Virginia and that is where the story takes place.

I hadn't thought of the Ginny association with Virginia. That wouldn't work. Thanks, Stephanie for your good comments.
Linda Branham wrote: "I agree Opal Sweeney"Wow. She's getting a lot of the nods. Thank you, Linda. Your input has been helpful.
I like Opal Sweeney as well - it somehow seems a good fit for that era in Virginia.

Heather wrote: "Opal Sweeney just seems right."Thank you, Heather, for your vote. She's clearly the leader. I appreciate your input.
I would have to agree on Opal Sweeney. Some of the others seem somewhat ethnic--though you might want an Iglesias, or so.
