What would you add?

[EmilyRoo]

I'm writing a novel, the characters so far are;
Jasper
Rosalind
Hamish
Cecily
Daphne
Lionel
Frederick
Penelope
Montgomery

...tried to stay away from the duller names like Alice and Edward without straying into oddball territory. I need more names for extended family and the like, please suggest some thanks!

PS Calypso has been considered and dismissed, exactly because it is from the brilliant novel Camomile Lawn - already taken!

Brentley
Kai
Khortnee.

No idea what your novel is about, but if you're looking for known but not common names, what about:-

Lydia
Nathaniel
Benedict
Emmeline

PLease tell me your novel is set in 1920s England :o

Rufus
Hugo
Douglas
Edwin
Hector
Julian
Lawrence
Tobias

Flora
Harriet
Ophelia
Virginia
Hilary
Philippa
Elspeth
Isla

Magnus
Angus
Duncan
Eric
Quentin
Hugo

Polly
Ruth
Esther
Martha
Esme
Dorothy
Shona
Moira

Where is your novel set, op? Lovely names, by the way.

NeedlesCuties thank you, Emmeline and Nathaniel are perfect!

Iawncont It is set in 1930s England!

Olive28 These are lovely, and shall be attatched to various characters: Rufus (bit of a loon though), Hugo, Hector, Lawrence, Tobias nn Toby, and Julian. Girls were harder as I'm strangely pickier but Flora and Ophelia are beautiful!

surf25 thanks! Duncan, Quentin and Esme are all quite nice, probably give these to the estranged "creative" cousins! :)

Thanks everyone for the suggestions!

Phyllis
Primrose
Edna (housekeeper)
Timothy
Lawrence
Frederick

reastie I like Alice I really do! It's just that as long as I'm naming characters, might as well see with what I can get away with! ;)

Violet and Dorothea are pretty, and Reginald, Percival and Herbert (prefer Hughbert a teeny bit) are excellent thanks!

No worries, understood Oh, can I also add Horace - another personal favourite

merrymarigold Edna is brilliant thanks! Should she have grey hair and half moon glasses as well?

Horace and his brother Maurice

Their dog poppy and their daughter pippa

An lover called Desmond and a wife called Jill

A brother called Drummond

And a wildtearaway sister called Lala

Godfrey, Ivy, Jemima, Greta.

EmilyRoo, Edna's definitely a bit scary! But with a very soft centre.

With those names I was thinking PG Wodehouse or Enid Blyton! Bunty springs to mind....

I have a novel on hold which spans a few generations - I had a look at the census for the closest years to my character's birth years to get some inspiration, if that helps.

Do you need more???!
