I started on book a little while back, and I'm just about finished, but a new idea just came to me, But I don't know if it's any good. What do you think of the concept?

A girl (idk her name yet!! D;) she moves to Australia, where she moves in with her friend(a few years older. but she's never really at the house...) after her family died, (mom, dad, a younger brother and her older brother, but the older brother lived long enough to tell her he loved her and forgave her, but she didn't understand what he said so she thought he didn't forgive her and he hated her.) looking for her when she ran away. She is 'mute' because shes trying to punish herself. Well anyways..she meets this kid Brian(Aussie name??) after being attacked by these guys and she talks to him and they become friends..but she starts to like him so she ignores him and try's to make him hate her, but (somehow not sure yet..) they end up together and yeah..

Well.. I don't know..it's not a good description..but yeah... What do you think?? Also!! I need 6 girls names and 3 other guy names. (If you know good Australian names. Except 2 of the girls names.)

Thank you!!
Well she writes on a book thingy, and she here's people talking and, since it's told in her point of view, it tells what she WANTS to say and you see it, she just doesn't SAY it.

Omigod!! I LOVED Speak!! It was AMAZING!! I've read it at least 7 times!! And that's a really good idea!! I never thought of that..and thanks for the last names too!! ha-ha :DD

Australian names are like American, Canadian, and British names. In the southeast US, names lean toward French names, and the west coast towards Hispanic names. In Australia, it's not uncommon to have a some very Italian names (demographic vary by location). Some of the ones I've come across are:
-Joska (male)
-Tanami (female)

Hamish is also a popular guys name and I have run into a Nigel.
Claire, Clair, Clare, Sarah, Sara, Matt, and Jack are also popular.

As for last names:
Smith
Bertola
Sanders

If you have any aboriginal characters, their last names run towards English last names or the names of things:
Charles
Patch
Johnson
Mosquito
Penny

If you read Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson, it will help you with the no-dialogue from the main character part.
