parallax23 | Striking All the Wrong Chords

After having started my summer novel for the umpteenth time (you can see the failed first draft here), I'm still hitting all the wrong chords for this story. I've got a plot I adore, characters and subplots.

BUT I can't get a title to stick. AND the main character's name still hasn't come to me.

Usually I'm really good with titles and I never take long to come up with one, so this doesn't bode well for the story I guess. Also, the main character has undergone several name changes and nothing sounds right. I can't write using a dummy name because... well, I need it to sound right in my head or else I get stuck going 'but the name doesn't fit' every couple of sentences... Anyway, I'll figure it out. I always do. I have managed to narrow it down to:

Deirdre - tragic heroine in Celtic mythology, the name literally means "sorrow"
Amara - "everlasting" or "bitterness"
Delyth - "neat and pretty"
Azurine - "blue sky"
Delyn - "blessed ring"
Ophelia - "assistance"
or Seren (no the 'a' isn't missing, it's "seh-ren") - "star"
