I am in desperate need of boy names that would go well with a female characters name that is Emma. I have Derek but my issue is my male character is half Hispanic so I would like to have a good name that would fit well with her name. If you have any good names I would greatly appreciate them! :D

Why does the guy name have to go with the girl name? Names don't have to go with each other; names just are. Choose any name you like! Just not Derek. How about Diego?

That was exactly the one name I did use. I don't know I've looked but there are no other names that fit as nicely as Derek. I'll try Diego but...

But why does it have to fit with the girl's name at all?

Yeah, Twit has a good point. I've never even considered "matching" character's names---what's the point? Names should fit the character, not the other characters.

Diego is okay, but it might be overused. (I know a Diego, a slacker who never works. And then there's Diego my (non-hispanic) antagonist.....)

How about an online name dictionary?

Found a name, it's all good. I've decided on Derin. Close to Derek but not quite.
