When writing modern novels, you could consider using modern cities. It would be best if the names of the characters in modern cities matched the background. Here are some nice modern city names for reference: 1 Andy Amy (2) 3 Kate 4 Kristen 5 Lily 6 Megan 7 Sarah 8 Sasha 9 William 10 Katelin 11 Linda 12 Paul 13 Tiffany Jennifer (Jenny) 15 Harry 16 Lilith 17 Mark 18 Monica (Molly) 19 Megan 20 Ross I hope these names will be helpful. Of course, the final name will still be decided according to creativity and preferences.
