Hit me with a great character surname

[Thurlow]

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...)

Morningstar

Ooh, I like Jodie or Jules

However her sister is currently called Josephine nn Saffy, and her 'silly name' is important to the character, so now I need another one!

@PolloDePrimavera

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.

I just write - I've got three books on the go, I haven't finished any but I'm close to finishing one. I read a lot of Roxie Noir, RS Grey etc so it's in that vein.

One day I might finish one and take the plunge at trying to get it published! It's definitely in the vein of the kind of books you find for free on Amazon Unlimited, not classy at all

Hunter

Longprong

Ok - scenario is three siblings so may go with Juliette (Jules), Josephine and change the male sinking to James.

Hero is then Ben Murphy?

@Ellmau

Hunter

Already got a character in another book called Hunter!

Duke

Charlotte

His surname, Steele.

Her name, Darcey

Stick with Dalton.

Ok just seen your update. Jocelyn if you’re doing the J theme?

Cavaliero for the surname. It adds a bit of Latin ancestry while still being British enough.

Baxter

Guinevere-Gwen for short

My female in my romantic novel would be Grace O'Malley

Lincoln (as in the very yummy Andrew Lincoln)

Spencer

Green

Brenton

Scott

Ford

Strand

Carrington for surname.
Giselle for her name.

Rutherford.

Need to know more about her. Aristocratic? Performer?

Thanks Thurlow! I'll investigate... Anything calming is good!

Oh, just call them Mellors and Constance Chatterley and be done with it!

Oh really like PP suggestion of Shaw.
Like Cole too.

Costello for the surname

@corlan

Longprong

And for the female name

Hannah
Stella
Esther
Rachel

Shakeshaft I heard this surname once and I've never forgotten it!

Knight
Harding
Stone
Chase
Lovell
