To me, Jennifer only looks like a Jennifer and I think that's the only name she should ever use as her character!

I really like them as a couple, Nathan and Audrey, but there was this one time where he said, "You're not just my partner, Parker." The "p" alliteration kind of bothered me, so I'd keep her first name, Audrey, and change her first name to something else. Not sure, but probably Wharton or something.

Being a teen in the 90's- every teen movie had a Heather and they were rarely nice.

For me it isn't that I don't like the names it's that there are so many names that I have such a hard time knowing how to pronounce them when I am reading that I wish they were something I could prounounce easily. When I try to talk to fellow readers about them I don't know how to say the names properly. Give me a pronounciation guide if your going to make the names all tricky.<br /><br />mmafsmith at gmail dot comTexas Book Loverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17083422956218281154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5908017075262243161.post-84023636396251248852011-11-08T14:36:15.164-05:002011-11-08T14:36:15.164-05:00Not being British, I pronounced Hermione as her me...Not being British, I pronounced Hermione as her me own.

It's always so interesting.<br /><br />The character I'd change the name for is Lance Sweets from Bones. First of Lance is obnoxious. I feel like he's a Michael or Andrew, and then Sweets? Come one! He could be Stevens or Stone and it would work the same way.
