I need character names for a story i'm working on.

The end of the second world war saw an unexpected victor. The Nazi army, after retreating to the motherland, brought forth their secret weapon. America is instantly barraged with a hailstorm of nuclear missles. Britain and Russia established themselves, surviving, but not necessarily winning, the war.

The story is set in the year 2037, around a British reporter, documenting the Russians' struggle to end the Nazi reign. On his journey, he meets up with a Russian soldier, an enigmatic 12 year old girl, and an Ex-Nazi scientist.

I need help with character names and the name of the story.

Help will be appreciated. =]

Probably an obvious suggestion - go to baby name websites and search by meaning or origin of names. You'll get heaps.

Names fall in and out of popularity, the popular names of the 1940's won't be the same as 2030's.

I know Olga was a pretty popular name for Russians. Sometimes, they add 'ch or even 'chka to the end of a name to imply indearment. And people called Olga are also called Olya or Olechka.

oh and i would also like a title.

its about two legendary shooters/fighters, what do you call them? well, they kill off an infamous gang of bandits. they get killed by the son of the leader and the sons of the heroes give chase. anyway, the main bad guy soon gets into it so they have to kill him and everyone on his payroll.

um... how about Curtis? I'm not a naming genius though, you should think of your own names, it's more fun that way.

Well I tend to look up names and their meanings before I put them down, a simple 'names' google search should help. Oh, and I also tend to stray away from the cliche names as much as possible, and go for original, less used names.
