Help[Opinions] Re: parents names for india,julia,luke and adrian russo
in reply to a message by isla_may
I'm honestly so confused about all this. Are you looking for an Italian name for the father, given that he's originally from Italy? (That would make sense) Is the mother German and you're looking for a German or at least a Germanic based name?
Do the kids grow in Germany? Their names seem completely mismatched for their background. They're just not very believable, given what you have said about the parents, even if they migrate to the States, for example. More information is needed as well. The setting (when and WHERE does the story take place?) Description of the parents (What are they like, their characteristics? Anything!)
India for example, certainly sticks out, even if the ancestral background hadn't been revealed. It seems so out of left field and "free-spirited" compared to her siblings' names, which are more traditional. I'd strongly suggest to rethink the names you have for the children first before looking for names for the parents.
Julia could work (Would be said more as YOO-lya), along with Adrian (again, said differently) and Luke would be more believable as either Lukas or Luca. In any case, it sounds funny when paired with the surname Russo. Julia does as well, but isn't as bad.

No, it actually doesn't make sense. If a name don't work for a story, or for a certain character, it just doesn't work. Writing a fictionalized story, isn't always about using names you just happen to like. Sometimes you have to use names that work for the character, or for the type of story and setting. You can absolutely use names that you like, but they should at least be believable, especially if these are going to be the main, reoccurring characters.
Also, PLEASE learn how to use proper grammar, spelling and punctuation. It's critical for writing a story and also for general purposes as well. It's less juvenile and also less confusing. For example, I have no idea what you mean by here: your right about the parents and there were thye came from.
Others should be able to understand you clearly, whether that's in a story, through a text, or elsewhere on a screen, or on a piece of paper.

Spell check and autocorrect is available. However, you need to have even the basic understanding of things like the grammar, and punctuation before even working a story, otherwise the editing process is going to be even more of a nightmare. The spelling alone is something that you can easily fix yourself. Look up a word if you aren't sure how to spell it.
