I just went to a class reunion and met the wife of one of my buddy’s. She’s a comic book writer for Marvel. My excitement was impossible to hide as I love comics, and I was tired of all the marketing, networking, management, accounting, etc. conversations I had been having with everyone else throughout the night. My wife was upset that I never showed that much enthusiasm when she talks about her job. But she’s an insurance adjuster and it’s not the same. On top of that, it’s not as if I were hitting on my buddy’s wife. It was just cool to talk to someone who knew about Secret Wars, the House of M, etc. Was I out of line?

I want to know what you think of my book idea. Sorry it’s kind of long. Just read the summary and tell my what you think, or read the character descriptions and help me think of good names for them. I don’t expect you to do both haha!
Plot: Sometime in the future, the Earth is controlled by one government. Even with such power and control, the government keeps to itself. They never broadcast news about what’s going on. People keep to themselves, live well, and keep the government on the bottom of their list of worries.
On the West of a continent with no name is a boarding school. Even with the government at such a distance in the minds of the masses, the school is famous. But no one talks about it. The school recruits only the best of the best, the smartest of the smart and the strongest of the strong in hopes of creating a capable group of kids ready to tackle the oh so secret government jobs. There’s training in every field imaginable- economics, history, propaganda, marketing, athletics.
When our main character is recruited to attend the school, she is hardly surprised. Unlike the ignorant people she used to live with (with the exception of her one friend from back home) she actually carried around with her some common sense. While everyone from home either congratulated her or glared at her with either looks of jealousy or hatred, she was just ready to leave.
At the school, boys and girls are not to communicate. In fact, making friends is discouraged.
As the protagonist becomes familiar with the new school, she begins to notice things others don’t—things that make her question the objectives of the school and the government. She starts putting two and two together, and comes across a secret the government has been keeping form everyone: one that could change everything.
Boarding School in the future- accepts only the people they want to be the political rulers of their country. (Unnamed)
I’m not sure what to name the school. Or the country for that matter.
PAFRAS (Preparation aimed at future rulers of the affairs of state)
AOHT (Academy of Higher Thinking) (Pronounced “Oat”)
RASP (Rulers of the affairs of state prep)
Characters-
1) Girl, redhead. Funny, but can’t take much seriously. Very smart, smarter than most at the students at the school, and knows it, but doesn’t take her school seriously and relies on her smarts to slide by in school. A little arrogant, but in a likeable way. Protagonist
Ideas for names: Aralyn (Ara), Kara, Kenly, Aspen, Sage, Sutter
2) The redheaded girl’s best friend from home. He has a strong personality: almost a strong as his build. Black hair, and a surprisingly serious persona compared to the protagonist’s easygoing character.
Name Ideas:
3) The protagonist’s roommate at the boarding school. Sleek brown hair, and glasses. She’s very serious about her studies and is determined to work for the government’s treasury department. She’s friendly, but stubborn in her opinions.
Ideas for names: Brit, Shae, Reyna, Fay
4) Protagonist’s study partner for her History of Government class, one class in particular that she finds utterly useless. Even though boys and girls are encouraged not to talk outside of class, they find time to study HOG in empty classrooms, the only place on campus not covered in surveillance cameras. He’s strong, but not like her friend from home. He has brown hair, and comes from a wealthy family somewhat government involved. He’s the only person the protagonist will admit is smarter than her. He’s down to earth, and knows more than most about what the government has going on.
Ideas for names: Miles, Leum (Liam)
5) A guy the protagonist met in Athletics, (a class for kids looking for a job in the FBI, CIA…) a class the protagonist didn’t want to take but needed the credits. Dirty blonde hair, tall, incredibly in shape. Comes from a poor family from up north, but was recruited to the school primarily because of his athletic ability.
Ideas for names: Zedd, Reid, Micah, Wes

I don’t mean stuff like “Mary had a Little Lamb” which kids sing in their kindergarten class with their teacher. I mean, what are some songs that are literally recorded using children’s voices (like a group of school children singing together)?
Please do not say things like Justin Bieber, Aaron Carter, Nikki Webster, Jackson 5, Willow Smith and her brother, anyone affiliated with Disney (eg. Miley Cyrus) etc.
Will give best answer
