HelpRe: Scarlett or Charlotte?
in reply to a message by KK
It depends on the character's personality. Scarlett is dramatic and romantic, Charlotte can be many things. I don't think Charlotte is simpler, it's a fairly complex name, but it could fit a romantic character or a shy character or a lot of other personalities, while Scarlett is more limited in that the character would have to be somewhat dramatic.
Most of the sibling ideas you listed would work better with Charlotte.
Charlotte and James, Charlotte and Helen, Charlotte and Emma, Charlotte and Maddalena.
Scarlett would work with Maddalena or Helen.
Kylie and Evan are too "regular modern people" names to go with either of them, I think. I could sort of see Scarlett and Kylie together depending on what the other siblings were called.
Joseph doesn't go with either of them as well as James would.
Think about nicknames too if you want this character to have nickname options, even if it's just a baby nickname for flashbacks. Charlotte has Charlie, Charly, Charla, Lotte, Lottie, and more. Scarlett has Lettie, Letty, and not much else.

Thanks, I’m writing two books. I knew from the beginning for one book would feature a girl named Scarlett Ayala. I think you’re right, and Charlotte fits the other girl better. Thank you so much!
