Scriptfrenzy!

Okay, it’s that time again! Name! That! Thingy!

I’m one of the worst people for naming things. If I had my way, every girl would be Kate and guys Alex* but I want to branch out. I’ve already done the “name them after your distant relatives” and the “Name them after Shakespearean Characters”. I need something new for ScriptFrenzy.

So here’s a quiz for you to take:
Winning names will receive acknowledgement and my Eternal Thanks!

Brief Synopsis... as planned so far... I'm thinking Space Sci-Fi... in sort of a world with no aliens, but a bunch of planets that used to be colonies of an Earth Federation that broke apart. My MC was a sort of Secret Service agent on an Isolationist planet. She's accused of treason, but found innocent, though no one treats her like she is. She catches a ride from a black market trader and takes off for parts unknown, only to get dragged back to her planet when somebody starts killing all the agents and the people they protect.

Places:
Isolationist Planet: High structure utopia. Pristine and Gleaming vision of the future.

Poor Podunk Settlement: Invaded and looted by every passing pirate.

Desert Planet: think Middle East on steroids.

People:
Main Character: Female Secret Service Agent. Think: The morals of Jack Ryan, the moodiness of Starbuck, and the butt kickin’ power of Jason Bourne

Black Market Smuggler: On his last run before retiring. Old, grizzly, but affable.

Spunky Teen Techno Sidekick: Haven’t decided on gender, but you know the type.

Ruthless gang of Space Pirates:

Handsome Young Senator: Possible love interest. Somebody’s definitely trying to kill him.

The Queen of Plastic Surgery: Power mad beauty queen.

Best Buddy: Possibly the one who betrayed MC, unwittingly or not.

Executive Rear Kisser: I’m imagining something along the lines of Percy Weasley.

There's always the porn name naming technique. Your porn name is the name of your pet and the street you live on. You could have Elsa Sherwood or Benjamin Spitz.

Too bad I don't remember the German streets we've lived on... those would probably make cool names.

You did, you dork. When you were born. How dare you question me?

What about everyone's middle names? You can still go with streets for surnames... :)
