Names in Jamaica are very weird but I want the names of the characters to be different but also common at the same time. I know that sounds weird but it is kind of like my name, Taj is weird but common at the same time. I looked up some names and I seen Tya (girl name), I even tried to look for the meaning of it but nothing came up. Now for the boy name I seen Bailey. I chose this name because I really liked the little baby Bailey on the show Teen Mom. When I looked up the meaning of Bailey it said that it ment bailff. I wanted both of the characters names to begin with a "T" because it is the best letter ever but then I decided to jump out of my comfort zone. :) Then I seen the name Tya for a girl and a name Tyler for a boy. I really do not know for sure what I want my characters names to be. This is going to be the most difficult thing for me because I can never make up my mind for anything.

I love the names and I think everything for your story is turning out pretty great. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteThe names you chose are really cool. They well help yuour story be in Jamaican culture.
ReplyDeleteBailey is a Jamaican name? If you choose names that are not culturally inherent to your story, then the impact of the cultural rewrite is lost. Use names from the culture you are rewriting it in.
