Hey guys! I've recently decided to take up writing again, and I have this one plot in mind....
So, basically, in the prologue, there is a lesbian couple. They're arguing, and end up breaking up, because while one of them wanted to start a family, the other was signing up for the peace corps. The one wanting to start a family, is bisexual, and after the break up gets piss drunk and has a one night stand with a man. She ends up pregnant. (DUH DUH DUH!)
So, before I actually end up writing it, I need names.
For the one that joined the peace corps, she is not necessarily what one would call 'femme' or 'butch'. She is kind of sporty, but not super athletic. She keeps her medium length ginger-ish hair in a ponytail, for the majority of the time. And she has dark brown eyes. For her, I am deciding between Riley and Robin. (Although currently I am leaning more towards Riley...)
And the other one is pretty feminine. She wears dresses and skirts often, and is a high school chorus teacher. She has long blonde hair, so long it goes to about the middle of her back. She's got super bright green eyes. For her, I would like a name that starts with a B, a D, or possibly an E. 
And her daughter, I'm thinking Madeline, Macie, Maya, or Makenzie. (I don't exactly have a character description for her, but she's the spitting image of her mother, except for her dark brown eyes that came from her biological father.)  Thanks for the help, guys! 
Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean I like dresses... Duh. ~My 4 year old niece. <3

Hi Hannah. Your story sounds like it will be a good one! I have a lot of respect for writers.
Now regarding those names. I definitely like the name Riley over Robin - just seems to fit the character better. For the other woman (the teacher) I like the following B names: Brenna,Basil,Brit,or Bryn. For D names I like Daniella,Dacia(means pure white, glowing),
or Dana. I'm not a big fan of E names, except for Ellen or Eden.
For the little girl I am a bit biased towards
Makenzie since that's my niece's name. I also like the name Maya or Myah a lot.
Hope that helps!

I really like a lot of those names, especially Dana, Dacia, and Eden. I'll keep those three in mind, for sure.
As of right now, I think it might be between Makenzie, and Myah. I really like that one.

DEVELOPMENT: For the blonde woman, her name is going to be Arianna Dacie. The 'Ginger' is definitely going to be Riley. The little girl is most likely going to be Maria. So... I need two last names. One for Arianna and Maria, and one for Riley.
Also, I need middle names for Riley and Maria.... O.o So, help is still needed!
