Romance story idea.... SCARY!!!!
RokofAges75:
^Agree. Ruth = totally not a Mary-Sue name.
MaggieW:
ArrG. And while I like Ruth a lot, that doesn't seem to be her name. You know what I mean? Have you ever named a character, but as you were working on the story, realized that the name you gave them wasn't the correct one and it wasn't until you changed it that things really smoothed out?
Hmm... Who is she? And what's her background?
Purpura Lipstick:
Yes, I did that with my original fiction Wulf's Bane... I started with Lily and it just never fit and I kept going from name to name before I found one that worked.
Emily is common enough that it might not be Mary Sueish if you do well to avoid it. Caro screams Mary Sue to me... *shrugs*

Agreed. Emily is common enough that it shouldn't be a problem unless you spell it some weird Mary Sueish way.
Rose:
Sounds interesting actually.
I've had that problem lol. Calypso's (from JAD) original name was supposed to be Scarlett or Dawn actually. But to me it just did not fit her personality the way Cally did. Sometimes a name defines the character, Mary Sue-ish or not. As long as the personality isn't Mary Sue, go with what you feel is the girl you have in mind.
