Can Anyone Suggest Some Character Names?

[Rachel]

I need a few character names for a story I'm planning on writing:
There are at least 5 main characters:
Char. 1 Personality: Female; Elegant, reserved, sarcastic and has trouble showing emotions. Has a bad past she doesn't really want to talk about. Passive-aggressive personality, Stubborn, discriminating and intelligent. Seems to take pleasure in pissing other people off or getting under their skin. Self-proclaimed loner.

Char 2 Personality: Female; Elegant polite and reserved like Char 1 though she's more friendly and caring. A bit too motherly for her own good. Charming and down-to-earth. Logical and reasonable. Is very patient and rarely gets angry and even if she did she usually hides it. Has a very, very bad temper though. Has a good relationship with family.

Char 3 Personality: Female; Reckless, rebellious, hair-trigger temper, possessive, vindictive and way too blunt. She comes from a rich family background though so I thought of something like Eleanor or Eloise (nickname: Ellie) but haven't decided yet. Gets misunderstood a lot though she's definitely struggling to be sincere. Estranged from family.

Char 4: Carefree, open-minded (has multiple partners), friendly, party animal and is nice to everyone. Has no sense of personal space. Very tolerant and flexible in most situations, unless one of her firmly held beliefs has been violated or challenged then she usually becomes incredibly stubborn. Has a friendly family background to a point that she still visits her grandparents on a regular basis.

Char 5 Personality: Male; Shy, reserved, doesn't want conflict. Is the long time boyfriend of Char 4. Sensitive and hardworking. Has a low self esteem. Artistic and very reliable. Has a hard time making new friends. Clingy, stubborn and loyal to a fault. Comes from a broken family; dad left early and he's been a mama's boy and taking care of his younger sisters since.

Ok that was way too long. Hopefully someone has LOTS of names they can put in some sort of list that meets the characters personality... Thanks

I know that this is the answer you don't want but you need to understand why I am answering like this. People get so caught up in thinking about the character's names, when honestly that is the least of your worries.

You need to think of your character like an unborn baby. You give your baby a name not knowing whether they will be selfless or selfish, kind or rude, etc. A character's name does not define the character nor does it make them memorable; through the character's actions and words you write and describe, that is what will make your character unique and memorable. If you come up with the best character names that match your character's personalities, but you are unable to write well or even develop them, then the name doesn't matter because they fade away.

So for picking a name just go onto a baby name website and select one you like. Don't make the name so outrageous that the reader can't pronounce the name, but if you don't want her to be a really common name like Emily or Jessica, then just select something like Nina or pick one of your favorite actresses names.

One of my favorite baby name websites that I use when I write a book is:

http://www.babyhold.com/

You can go under different origin of names(French, African, German, Japanese, Korean, etc) as well as popular names, boy and girl names, etc.

I hope this helped.

Good Luck.
