I'm writing a story and I can't choose between two names for my main characters who are brothers. They're named Seth and Clyde and the two last names I can't decide between for them are Jones and Barrow.

Lily,

If you want some unique names from various nationalities, here’s a little trick. Do what I do. Get one of your DVD's and go directly to the credits. Don't bother with the cast, but go to the people behind the scenes. Best Boy, Lighting Crew, Sound Crew, Hairdressers, Assistants, etc... I take a first name and marry it up with another last name. This is a great way to get away from the hum drum names that simply come to mind. It takes a little time, but it’s well worth it. It’s a great way to come up with names for various creatures of the night, too. Vampires, Werewolves, Witches, Demons, etc…

I prefer Barrow. Because when you say the name Clyde Jones, it sounds too familiar, like it's been used before. Clyde and Seth Barrow flows oh so perfectly.

Good luck with your story!
