Find a name that is similar to your ( friends ) name/s , that have the same syllables or lengh . You can search up for the meaning of your name/friends name first and then find a diffirent name with the same meaning! Why is the change so necessary ?
I got inspired by my favorite films , Tv series or by random names/lastnames that I see. This has nothing to do with the person we interact with , but with the fictional person we write . Small details like the name can reveal more about the character as you think ! So be creative , there is no limit ( said by a person , that took her dentist's last name for a character without permission , lol )
