Ok, so I need two names right now:
One is for a boy about 17 or so (in highschool) He has dark hair and green eyes, he's apopular guy (NOT a dancer guy) everyone knows who he is and he'sa big football guy. He's super funny, single, and a bit full ofhimself. He's kind of shallow, but not completely. Pretty smartand he's in a band. Main character has a HUGE crush on him. I need a name for him and any more details you can think of! :D

The second name I need is for a guy who WILL become a dancer :) He has blonde hair, blue eyes, football player, knows guy #1. The most popular guy in the WHOLE school, completely shallow on the outside but on the inside hes really sensitive, he can be nice,but he usually has this stuck up shell on the outside. Main character (Roxanne) can't stand him but has to work with him--he become's her dance partner. I need a name for him and any details you can think of!

ALSO, what stands out to you when you are reading a book and thte author is describing acharacter?

THANK YOU!! :D

Okay! This may sound like weird advice, but you should totally look up names in a baby name book. My mom had one from the time that she named us, so hopefully you'll be lucky in this respect! If not, look up baby name websites and just try to find something that works for you. :)

Also, I really really like it when people describe quirky personality traits and tell stories about the characters. Looks are rather boring to me. ;)

Good luck with your story.

Thanks, I know they sound a little bland, I don't want anyone taking my ideas or anything.
I am just starting to work on this!! Ha ha
Right now I am focusing more on my main character, I just thought I would start to build up these characters

I like authors who describe extra little details like a mole a character might have or the style of their hair or maybe even the shape of their face. Something outside the usual hair and eye colour description that helps make the character unique.

As for names, well, I find it hard to make suggestions because I always choose ones that are personal to me or fit the character's personality in some way or that I really like the sound of.

Maybe something like Marco for the dancer?

You are going to love some of your characters because they are you, or some facet of you, and you are going to hate some characters for the same reason.
