Maybe use their resolutions initials for their name initials and work the concept into the last name. For example, Lover Boy is Louis Boyd, Get Fit is Gretchen Fitzgerald. I know my brain would make that association and it would work in a playbill. Just change the ones that are similar like Get Seen and Get Sober. Change one to maybe Be Seen or Sober Up so they don't have the same initials.
obsessed with ALL of this and getting to see more into the story for the show!!
now for their names…buckle up she’s long🫡
*going off your idea of the characters name being the meaning of their resolution - your “Valerie” - “Val” example. which I also think very much so tracks with the Austin (cost) & Marideth (mayor) the og’s know the real names, who is who and why the names are what they are.
Loverboy - “lennon” as “lenn” or “lenny” Lennon means lover, sweetheart etc.
GET FIT - low key the “Valerie” as “Val” seems pretty spot on
Get seen - “Calvin” as “Cal” this one’s a stretch on the actual meaning of the name but the vibes give brainy, awkward lovable or likable if that’s maybe something he finally finds in the end
get sober - “Matilda” as “Tilli” or “Matti” Matilda means mighty in battle
GO VIRAL - “Maxine” as “Max” Maxine means greatest or could do “Zayden” as “Zay” zayden means increasing growth
I really like Romeo for Lover Boy and Athena for Get Fit. And maybe Waldo Wallace (Wally for short) for Get Seen?
I think of names like JD (Jack Daniels) Jameson or Remy for Get Sober ( or Brandy, Sherry for a girl).
I feel like Go Viral needs a one name unisex trendy name- Poet? Eminence? Reign? Or maybe Max (cause you can do cheesy 'maximize ur success ' puns)
Part of me thinks your characters should be Austin and Meredith bc so many don't even realize those are your names. But Scot and Moyra are anagrams of Cost and Mayor??
I really don’t have anything new to add. I think people have thrown out some fire names so far! Which names you go with really depends on how overt or subtle you are wanting to be with your audience.
What if you did leave them but then added a name Lover Boy Louis, Get Fit Felicia, Get Seen Sally, Get Sober Sandra, Go Viral Vinny, and you just are Cost and Mayor- never change.
Luna for one of the female characters. It means moon in spanish, I like it for the "get fit" character because she has and is the energy. Sorta like ..The moon ..or Luna

omg this is a great idea!!!!
Happy to help ☺️
Such a good idea!
Love this idea! Here are my thoughts building off this idea from Alyssa Pratt’s initial idea:
1. GF — Get Fit
Name: Gina Fontaine
• Gina is snappy and confident. Fontaine gives a sense of elegance and flow, like movement or water (fountain/fitness).
• Could also go with:
• Gemma Faulkner – Gemma = jewel, symbolizing polished appearance.
• Gabriella Frost – “Frost” could suggest icy discipline or cold determination.
Vibe: Polished, Type-A, inspiring—your Peloton prototype.
⸻
2. BS — Be Seen
Name: Benji Sparks
• Benji is soft, underdog-y, and likable. Sparks implies a quiet ignition—he wants to light up, be noticed.
• Could also go with:
• Brandon Shade – Shade = someone who hides in the background, wants to come out.
• Bryce Sutter – “Sutter” sounds shy, hesitant; Bryce gives him room to grow.
Vibe: Nerdy, overlooked, craving spotlight but unsure how to claim it.
⸻
3. LB — Lover Boy
Name: Luca Bellamy
• Luca is romantic and modern. Bellamy literally means “beautiful friend” in French, fitting for someone searching for love.
• Could also go with:
• Leo Bloom – Leo = lion, heart-on-sleeve type; Bloom = emotional blossoming.
• Liam Bishop – clean, charming, everyman feel.
Vibe: Earnest, maybe a little hopeless romantic, genuinely wants connection.
⸻
4. SU — Sober Up
Name: Sienna Ulrich
• Sienna sounds grounded but has edge; Ulrich feels sturdy, like someone trying to rebuild themselves.
• Could also go with:
• Sadie Underwood – evocative of “under the influence” but trying to rise above.
• Simone Usher – “Usher” = ushering in a new era.
Vibe: Struggling for control, hiding a messy backstory beneath a poised exterior.
⸻
5. GV — Go Viral
Name: Gigi Vance (female) / Griffin Vega (male)
• Gigi sounds like an influencer already. Vance has movement and flair.
• Griffin is modern, cool-sounding; Vega is a bright star—fitting for someone obsessed with fame.
• Could also go with:
• Gia Vale – catchy and social media friendly.
• Gavin Vox – Vox = voice; suggests someone broadcasting themself.
Vibe: Attention-seeker, charismatic, maybe insecure underneath.
I think you should go with stereotypes: Lover boy-Romeo, get fit-Emily, get seen-Walter, get sober-Jessica, go viral-Haley
I'm on board for this approach! Some more possibilities:
Lover boy - Romeo
Get Fit - Buffy
Get Seen - Waldo
Get Sober - Drew
Go Viral - Corona
I got these from ChatGPT, I think you could use the first OR the last names:
Cost - Sebastian Vane
Mayor - Clara Hensley
What about Waldo for get seen 👀
Oooo I like that even better

Lover boy- Romeo Rush
Get Fit - Felicity Baxter
Get Seen- Claudette or Claud Fame
Get Sober - Trixie Jones
Go Viral - Vanessa or Victor Tox
Cost - Cannon
Mayor- Maddie
So if we went the meaning route:
Loverboy could be: Romeo, Roman, Karlek
Get Fit: Athena, Helen, Matilda
Get seen: Wallace (which means outsider) Cassius, Aster
Get sober: Riven, Eris, Deirdre
Viral: Felix, Felicity, Otto, Gloria or the unisex Lux
Conceptual route I broke down the fundamental of each theme and gave them acronym
Loverboy: D.I.P
Fit: F.A.S.E
Seen: B.O.F
Viral: F.A.M.E
Sober: tbd( still debating the concept of this character)
The sound alike route
Loverboy: Lovell
Fit: Flick or Fyta
Seen: Sean or Dean
Sober:Sora
Fame:Blaine
SO EXCITED FOR THIS!!! Also kinda sad this is going to happen so far away I probably won’t ever actually see the whole vision come to life in person😭
hopefully we can record a version or do a live stream one day!!
That would be amazing!!!
I really like Romeo for Lover Boy and Athena for Get Fit. And maybe Waldo Wallace (Wally for short) for Get Seen?
I think of names like JD (Jack Daniels) Jameson or Remy for Get Sober ( or Brandy, Sherry for a girl).

What if you did leave them but then added a name Lover Boy Louis, Get Fit Felicia, Get Seen Sally, Get Sober Sandra, Go Viral Vinny, and you just are Cost and Mayor- never change.
Sober Sandra, a nod to 28 Days
Sandra Bullock is so talented!
lover boy you could do Adoins which means handsome man
get fit could be athena or Artiz which is arabic for active
get seen could be Kaz or Caz which mean sercert or hidden
get sober could be named after a achoholic drink like brandy or Hennessey or Bailey
go viral could be felix or Florence which mean fame
i only just had time to respond
Luna for one of the female characters. It means moon in spanish, I like it for the "get fit" character because she has and is the energy. Sorta like ..The moon ..or Luna
Maybe you could name them for literary character
Lover Boy - Tristan, Fitzwilliam Darcy, Jay Gatsby
Get Fit - Diana (like Wonder Woman)
Get Seen - an outcast character like Holden Caulfield or Ponyboy Michael Curtis
Get Sober - Shirley (like Sherlock Holmes since he struggles with addiction)
Go Viral - an ambitious character like Scarlett O’Hara or Macbeth (Mac for short?)
Love this! Maybe a play on what they will be when they reach their resolution:
SeeLove
BeFit
FallSeen
GoSober or StaySober
IAmViral
And for you two:
Cost
Mayor
-Because why not?!
Clearly the Sober girl should be named Sandy as a hat tip to Sandra Bullocks character in 28 Days.
And Loverboy could be Fabio... because how many romance covers?
Why not name "Seen Boy" Leonard, Sheldon's roommate?
