    Male Character Name Needed.

    I've recently begun a little side-project novel, called Submerge. It tells the story of a competitive swimmer that nearly drowns during a meet and finds herself terrified of even standing near a body of water. She's sent to her aunt's house, nestled right next to a lake, in hopes that she can overcome her fears with the help of a bit of an unorthodox therapist and time. The main male character is the younger brother of the therapist, who also happens to be a lifeguard.

    I've already named the main female character, Hayley Grace Sorensen.

    I have the male lead's last name, Gardner. I've also named his sister already; Alexandria 'Lexa' May Gardner.

    He's seventeen. He's blonde, brown-eyed, and about average height. He's generally happy and upbeat, and is well-known for his positive outlook on life. I'd really like a more layed-back kind of name, even if it's a nickname.

    I have some thoughts already, although none of them really sound right to me.

    William James Gardner nn Liam or Will
    Alexander Lucas Gardner nn Alek
    Felix William Gardner

    I don't have any children, but I write like crazy and am always looking for names for characters. I think I'm a half decent story teller, a mediocre writer, but horrible at picking names.

    I like Will or Lucas. They both sound like strong but compassionate guys.
