Hey Scratch peeps!

So, I'm planning on writing a fantasy book about two girls who are complete oposites and how they team up to save ( something, don't know yet) from a powerful curse.

So, any ideas of what they would save?

I also need names.

First, I want a name for an intellegent, always worried, girly girl.

Next, I need a name for a daring girl who loves exploring, believes in magic and and cares for every living thing.

Another thing is the nerd. Yes, the nerd. uses big words and stuff. But this time it's a guy.

Now I just need any dull and boring name. For a girl, that is.

It's difficult to have a completely original plot, so it's okay if it's slightly cliche, but you should probably throw in some new elements to make it more interesting smile
As for names, I usually use behindthename.com
There's a lot of cool names on there^^

I like the plot!

Maybe they could save their family? Or an alternate universe?

As for names, for the first one, I think old-fashioned names like Agnes, Helena, Charlotte and things like that are better. I like Charlotte.

For the second one, maybe a more different-ish name (but avoid modern ones, and by that I mean usual names spelled wrong or really rare ones like Persephone) but not as girly.

Remember to give your characters a motive for doing anything that they do.

Names...you could always try combining two names together, for instance Clarissa with Adele would produced Adelissa.

If the second girl loves living things, maybe they could be trying to save a forest or something nature-y.

As for names, my suggestion(and I do this all the time) is to get a baby name book and look through it, seeing which names fit your characters and which don't.
