Names for cheapskate characters?

[Vidya]

Two of my heroines are cheapskates who bond and then realize their cheapness is alienating all their dates.

I need two names. How about:

Penella Pinch [people nickname her penny pincher, which she wears like a badge of honor]

or:

Prudence Pettigrew

and for the second woman:

Sahara Stone [the desert suggests a lack of abundance]

or:

Sahara [or Sierra] Stonybrook [surname  suggests StonyBROKE]

or do these names carry too much Dickensian obviousness, especially since I’ll use both?

I’d also like some names for a cheap male character, but so far I haven’t come up with any male names. Can you suggest any?

Thanks!

Penella Pinch and Prudence Pettigrew are equally good to me.

Stone conveys a very callous person to me, sort of hard-hitting personality.

How about Sahara Stoop and Sahara Sulk?

As for male characters, what about Timothy, or Tommy, Tightwad (with apologies to our own Timothy).

Or Frank Frugal, Freddy Frugality, or Flinthart Feldspar. (Sorry, too much Merlot there, perhaps.

Gerri, they have to be names that actually exist. But I really like the name Flint for a first name, so I’ll use that, maybe for a tough, steely, macho hero. Thanks!

I would go with the broadly intuited association of frugality with reserve and propriety. So names that are evocative of an earlier, more prim and proper era where traditional virtues held, at least aspirationally, seems like a good idea.
I think names like Prudence (already mentioned) nail it.
Also names that aren't quite so on the nose but still evoke the right period sensibility like Constance, Hester, Vivian, Amelia, etc
Ashley or Cindy might go out and spend wildly with no thought of it.
Amelia or Constance... not so much.

Luke, you may be right. How about Harmony? And the other could be Prudence.

I like Harmony Harlow but Harmony Holden could suggest someone who holds on to her money.

Another idea is to go the way of irony and give her a name at complete odds with her character.

Like Nevada. It’s a pretty name and it sounds like she’d be exciting and adventurous. Which she isnt, but she wants to be.

Nevada Saint Clair sounds posh. Like she’d behave with class and not like a cheapskate.

What do you think?

Some more suggestions for women:

Missie Miser, Abella Hoarder, Stingy Ginger, and Gabriella Greed.

For men, change above as:

Mark Miser, Abby Hoarder, Stingy Sam, and Gunther Greed.

Miser can also be turned into Miserlake, Hoarder into Hoardlocke, and Greed into Greedlowe.

Lowe for Love, Locke means hoard and lock.

Don't know how to justify Miserlake. I simply extended miserly.
