Behind the ideas - Character names

Elvin Aldwin - The name Elvin is old English and has the connotations of 'magical being' or 'Friend'
The name Aldwin is also an old English name that means 'Old friend'

I chose this name because: This is the character that the main protagonist meets in one of her lives. She is alone and down and doesn't know what to do and he is the only person that understands her. This is the thought behind 'Magic being' and 'Friend' but he also knows who she is like an 'Old friend'

Jade Renae - The name Jade is English and means 'Precious stone' which was also believed to have magical powers.
The name Renae means 'Reborn'

I chose this name because my main protagonist believes that they are worthless which creates Irony with the fact their name means 'Precious stone' there is also the fact that they are 'Reborn' into different lives so their surname reflects this.
