boy's best friend #1- Logan and Austin sound really good to me. my cousin's name is Austin, and he's like the boy you described.
#2- maybe Dante or Riley?
sister- i like marie, maybe because i know one.

P.S. If your book's as good as your character desciptions, it'll be great!

I write too and for my main charcters, whether they are male or female, i like to use strong, distinctive names.

Some that I've used: Mercy, Amelia, Charlotte, Mirabella, Agatha, Audrey, Harper.

Your description of the female lead makes me think of timely names. A sturdy name that's both elegant and grown up. I don't have any suggestions sorry...

Dominic would make a good male lead. I also like Bryce, logan, Austin and Kale for the friends.

For me, Maya sounds like a cutesy annoying little sister =)And i would go Alexia for the female best friend

Thanks for all your suggestions, so many good ones!

i think i'm going to go with Torrin for the main boy,

Bryce for best friend #1,

still not sure on the rest but i cant use amelia, maya, brandon and rose because of knowing people with those names.

Thank you all again & I'm still open to suggestions
