A person in my writers' group said that she got tired of hearing "Shelly," "Seana" (the feminine of Sean, as in Connery), and "she" a lot of times. Since they all start with the same sound, I decided that I could change my main character's name without sacrificing anything. "Michelle" has a nice ring to it, but I finally decided on Heather.
My heroine has a big job to do and needs to be strong and resilient. Heather suits her, mainly because heather grows on the heath (where else?) and, in spite of harsh wind and rain, is a beautiful flower.
There is a book about how to choose names for characters. I requested it for Christmas, didn't get it, so am on my own for a while. Heather and I are tough and will work it out.
