I've decided to set my story in modern time. For some reason, I can't picture it during the Medieval era and I have a better plot when it set in modern time. So, I need help changing the name of characters to something more modern.

'Princess':Originally, her name was Everilda with the nickname Ever. I decided to use just Ever instead. However, I need another name for her. I had decided on Ailith when it was set back in Medieval times. Now, I need something more modern.
Here is her description:
She is 24. She has long, curly blond hair, blue-gray eyes, pale skin and about 5'7". When she was younger, she was weak, timid and introverted, but is now strong, smart and bubbly. Ever was born into a rich, highly influential family and her father ran the city. (Kind of like a mob-boss.) She was 11 when she ran away from home. Her father was killed when she was 3, her twin brother was abusive and her mother was distant. After losing her only friend at the hands of her brother, Ever ran. She was adopted by a loving family with a son named Sterling. When they were 19 her foster parents were killed. Together, Sterling and her have organized a small, but strong group to 'dethrone' her brother. Despite her sweet, bubbly and optimistic demeanor, she is very lethal and skilled.

'King': His name is staying Graysen. The name translated over to modern times. He takes over running the town when he turn the age of 18 and plays a part in the death of Sterling's parents. (Though not directed toward Ever.) He believes his sister was kidnapped and killed when they were 11. He and Ever look a lot a like for being fraternal twins.

Rebel: Sterling is staring the same.

Need: Rebels and Goons.

Please and Thank You!

Her other name could be a play on the name Ever...Like Neve (kinda like Never) or Reva/Reve (Like Ever spelled backward)

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm looking for something almost, completely different from her name. Something her foster family would give her. I need a lot of names, I realized. Lol. (I'm doing this off my phone, so bear with me.)

I need a last name for a powerful family that runs the city. They are considered royalty and are respected and feared. The mother and father are Laura and Randall. They had twins (considered the princes and princess) Graysen and Ever.

I need a new name for Ever, given to her by her foster family. I also need names for her foster parents as well as a last name to go with Sterling.

I need a first and last for Graysen's best friend and right hand man.

The others will come to me as I go along.

Please and thank you!

[EDIT]: Decided on the last name Trahearn for the powerful family. It means "power of iron". And I was thinking Ivy for Ever's new name.

I like Ivy a lot. It fits the character well.
Her foster parents:
Father: Colton, Henry, Norman, Bill, Vincent... the list could go on but I see just an Average-Joe sort of name.
Mother: Diana, Nina, Alyssa, Allison, Emily, Jeanette, Christina, Josephine, Victoria, Bianca

Sterling Surname: Gaston, Bernard, Paulsson, Archer, Roe

Graysen's Best Friend:
First name: Anthony "Tony", Lucas, Drake, Andrew "Andy" or "Drew", Zeke, Zacharia "Zach", Titus, Hector, Ajax, Achilleo (italian for Achilles... you could make this character have a fatal flaw, it would be an interesting twist...)
Surname: Rivera, Rivers, Price, Cole, West, Russo, Conti, Richards
