Hit me with a great character surname

For a trash romance (don't judge me, they are hugely relaxing to write)

Romantic 'hero' - a bodyguard, that old cliched story. I want a surname that will be used all the time and will sound appropriately sexy. Currently working with either Dalton/Miller but they're not quite right.

So, what's a sexy surname?

(And if anyone can come up with a good female name, my current Emma isn't quite doing it for me either...)

His name has to have 1or 2 syllables, all the better for shouting in anger and / or moaning in ecstasy.

Weird, I clicked on to suggest Dalton and there it was as your first idea!

I like the suggestion of Cameron further up.

I love Stanton but that's the name of the main character in a biggish series. Now I know why!

Murphy could work though.

Girls name needs to go with Chesterfield. I love Carys but it might be too alliterative?

Just make sure his first name isn't Boris! Didn't realise until after I had posted

Jackson would be good

Sorry, no helpful suggestions but may I ask: do you do this for fun or do you make money out of it (and have fun)? I have toyed with the idea but don't know anything about practicalities.

Hoctober · 21/10/2020 20:36

He -Dexter or Jansen

She - Clarissa or Mercy
