I find that sometimes characters don't like to give you their names for a long time. :3 Yeah, it would help if you described what this person is like or even what the story is about.

Also, I think this should be in the writing section. . .

okay so the Girl is a Lady or Princess, Someone who is high in the country, she is very graceful and, beautiful, but very generous and nice. She is kind to everyone and sees them as equals. She is loving and godly. She lives in a Manor and is there along because her fathers is away alot. Her mother died when she was young, so she is the lady fo the house...Thats all i've got...hope it helps.

Lisolette sounds pretty. o.o But really, she's your character and you know her the best. I find that sometimes I have a face of a character, but no name; however, when the right name randomly pops up, there's a little "click" inside my head and then I'm like "M'kay, so *that's* your name~"

So is that all you have as far as her character development? Maybe you could type out a little scene that shows all the traits you described?

Sorry to be a pain, but could you say the pronunciations please? Knowing me Id probably pronounce them wrong, just like I do every time I read Shakespeare in AP Lit class. (Its Banquo, not Bancow! Sorry just relapses from the AP class, the mocking never stops! *Sobs in extremely annoying ways*)

I'd say the first two are pretty...but I'd agree on the whole nameless thing. Heck, I've got some stories I've started where I have characters but no names...so all I can do is write "Main girl" or "Friend #1" and whatnot until I can fill in those blanks.

Wow, those are all very good names! I think the first two would come across as more sweet and innocent, while the third would be a bit more regal sounding. But all in all, you know your character best, and I think you'll be able to come up with a good decision.
