In that age bracket there were millions of Jennifer/Jennys. Lori, Heather, and Stacy were some other names from that era.

Do you want her name to stand out a little bit or be one of many? Is she a girly girl? Or a tomboy? Or no a nonsense/take charge person? Do you have other character names that you are working off of?

She sounds like my BFF Margaret. She went by Maggie as a child, and now Molly as an adult, except by her DH that calls her Marge.

I don't have any specific name suggestions, but I wouldn't name her for her characteristics since none of us are named that way IRL. I'd go with what her parents would have named her based on their family, ethnicity, etc.

Josephine. Her nickname could be Jody.

I'm too busy being offended that Kelly is not up for consideration. Right now she's just named after me, but I thought that would get kinda awkward as she may or may not do stuff I may or may not do My "can't name" list is really just a bunch of friends and co-workers--in case I ever become a world famous author, I can't have them thinking the character is them and doing stuff they don't approve of--and Hermione and Minerva were already taken, lol! Thanks everyone for all the ideas! I think I might just try using a different name each chapter and see what feels right at the end . . . love the "change all" little feature in Word! Happy first day of NaNoWriMo

I was wondering if this was Nanowrimo related!
Good luck! I will do it someday.

Laura, Julie, Jackie, Sheri, Erin, Carrie, Kelly (I know you said no already), Jessica, Marcia
They aren’t hockey moms, but they’re all dance moms I know. We’re all in our mid-40s. A couple are even hockey moms.
