Researching Names

 Researching our character's names

As a group, we all decided to do research on our own to find different options for the names we would give our characters. The two most important characters (the two sisters) have very opposite personalities and we want that to be captured within their names, while the remaining character (the big sister's friend) can have any name. All characters shown in the 2 minutes are girls. I am also pretty sure we have the perfect actors for the sisters, this is something I thought might be an issue since they have to look alike in some way. It would be me and a close friend of mine, and coincidentally enough we are told that we look alike. 

Older Sister

For this character, I envision a perfect girl, the lucky one. I really think she should have a name that fits that persona well. I decided to look up girl names that have the meaning of luck. I found a list of names I thought were appropriate, shown below.

Some of my favorites were Destiny, Felicity, Kiara, and Iris. All these somehow share the meaning of luck or something similar to it.

Younger Sister

Now for the younger sister, who tragically took her life, her name has to have a sad connotation. I found names that have meanings of despair, loneliness, sorrow, bad luck, and misfortune. This character, in the short amount of time she is shown, will visibly be in some dilemma or overly stressful situation. Below I will insert some names I really like for this character.

Now that I have some names in mind, that fit the personalities and the ideas we have in our heads for our characters, my next task is to talk with my group about them. I know they also researched names that contrast, just like the sisters do. I hope we can pick the perfect names that match our characters. I will be back on here soon with our decisions, see you all soon!
