I have solid names I'm loving for my important characters, but I've been having trouble deciding on some other characters. Help please?

 

Here's what I've got.... In red is what I need.

 

main character - Cecelia ___ Could I have surname ideas?

parents just go by Mr. and Mrs. [surname] / Dad and Mom. (They dont show up often in the story.)

little brother - Miles or Peter? I'm unsure, opened to suggestions! (also doesn't show up often)

Cecelia's fiance - Connor ____ I need a last name here too. I stink at surnames!

Cecelia and Connors son - Noah

 

Another main character - Rosemary Kendall

parents are John and Wilhelmina "Willa" Kendall 

oldest sister - Heather 

Heathers husband - [no name yet] Name suggestions?

Heather and husbands kids - Cedar, Lennon, and Hale. - I want nature themed names as they're a natural family. Do these go? I figured Lennon would be a girl, but unsure if thats too vague. 

second older sister - Brooke

Brookes daughter - Saffron 

younger sister - Autumn

 

So in a nutshell, I need two surname ideas, a name for Heathers husband, and ideas on the kids names.

main character - Cecelia Vaughn

parents just go by Mr. and Mrs. [surname] / Dad and Mom. (They dont show up often in the story.)

little brother - Miles or Peter? Suggestions: Jacoby, Nathan 'Nate', or Nolan. (also doesn't show up often)

Cecelia's fiance - Connor Staley

Cecelia and Connors son - Noah

 

Another main character - Rosemary Kendall

parents are John and Wilhelmina "Willa" Kendall 

oldest sister - Heather 

Heathers husband - Suggestions: Daniel, Calvin, Josiah, Oakley, or Wiley; last names: Rietkirk, Bennett, Cramer, or Lewis.

Heather and husbands kids - Cedar, Lennon, and Hale. - I like Lennon for a girl, and I think that these names go fine together.

second older sister - Brooke

Brookes daughter - Saffron 

younger sister - Autumn

Surname ideas:

 

Cecelia Marbry

Cecelia Grayson

Cecelia Parsons

Cecelia Bennett

Cecelia Frey

Cecelia Lee

 

Connor Jameson/James

Connor Hamin

Connor Daniels

Connor Wilson

Connor O'Neil

Connor White

 

Also, here's a link I use for surnames a lot: http://names.mongaba...on_surnames.htm

 

 

Cecelia goes well with both Miles and Peter, so maybe if you pick a surname first you can pick whichever one goes better?

 

Heather's husband name ideas:

John

Benjamin "Ben"

Samuel "Sam"

William "Will"

Andrew

Alexander "Alex"

Louis/Lewis

Nicholas "Nick"

Daniel "Dan"

Emmett

 

As for Cedar, Lennon, and Hale, I think they're okay. However, I don't immediately associate Lennon with nature (I actually associate it with John Lennon), and while I know that Hale is nature-related it doesn't jump out as an obvious meaning either. 

 

Good luck with character naming!

Thanks for the feedback! Sorry its taken me a couple days to reply. 

 

For Cecelia's surname, I like Vaugn, Marbry, and Bennett.. I really like how Cecelia Marbry sounds though!  

I feel like Nathan would work great as a brother, but I think it'd be awkward cause its my older brothers name lol. I was liking Miles more for a minute, but now I'm not sure if I like Miles Marbry. Peter Marbry is a little clunky as well... 

 

Connor Staley is great! I really like it!  Plus Noah Staley sounds good as well. Thank you! 

 

I like Andrew Cramer for Heathers husband, I think. Though then Cedar would sound kinda bad as their kids name... Cedar Cramer? Its not that bad though, maybe?

 

I agree that Lennon is normally associated with John Lennon more than anything. I like that Hale isn't too obvious, though I second guess Lennon now. 

 

Thank you guys so much!
