So I'm brainstorming for NaNoWriMo and my main character is going to go by the name of Janie, but it's not her first name. Her name is _______ Jane Morgan. I need an embarrasing first name that is old fashioned and stodgy. Any ideas? Something that sounds very southern with Jane, but not common (Not Peggy or Mary or anything like that). Something that if you were on a blind date and somebody you ran into called you by your first name would make you want to crawl under the table.
If I use your suggestion I'll give you thank you credits ;-)
Mathilda
ReplyDeleteWow, that's good. I actually thought of Minerva (as in Professor McGonnegal), but Mathilda is pretty awful.
ReplyDeleteI had a suggestion of Hester today, which could be interesting considering the Scarlet Letter.

ReplyDeleteAgnes. When I was in Brownies and selling cookies door-to-door, my mom once told me I should introduce myself as Agnes so that people would feel sorry for me and buy my cookies. : )
