Help Naming Some Characters

[yamiti]

I'm having some trouble naming my main characters, and it's hard to get very far into my book without names.

My first character is a 14 or 15 year old girl with dark brown hair whose tall, independent, brave, spunky, and is a bit of a tom-boy.
Names I have so far- Wren, Etta, Thea, Trenna (nn Ren/Wren)

Next is a 15 or 16 year old boy with curly brown hair, blue eyes, very smart but not nerdy, quiet and shy but also has an adventurous side. I want his name to be short but strong.
Ideas- Owen, Beck, Wade, Asher (Ash), Jamie, Joshua (Josh)

Another character is a boy in his early teens. He has dirty blonde hair and green eyes. He is mischievous, and a big extrovert. The kind of kid who always gets in trouble at school for being to loud. He's athletic. He's also smart, but doesn't make good grades because he isn't willing to put the time in. I'm very open to name ideas.
Ideas I have so far- Eli, Grady, Henry, Fielder, Griffin, Ty, Benjamin (Ben)

These three characters are all cousins, and the last character I need a name for is their grandfather. His name needs to be a classic old codger name.

I also need some help with surnames.

I'm open to pretty much anything. Thanks!

I really like Wren for your first character. I also think Eloise, Rowan, Brynn, Lark, Kiera, Lyra, or Brenna would work.

For the nest character I like Owen and Beck. There's also Liam, James (Jay), Lucas (Luke), Leo, Alex, Samuel (Sam), Nathan (Nate), Evan, and Benjamin (Ben), Miles (Milo), Cole.

For the next boy I think Eli and Griffin fit his personality best. Others would be Jackson (Jack), Finn, Shane, Levi, Max, Wyatt, Jake, Dashiell (Dash), Riley, Logan, Zachary, Everett, Emmett.

For the grandfather: Edward, Walter, Arthur, Stanley, Clarence, Arlo, Jeremiah, Henry, Peter, George, Frederick, William, Edgar, Edwin, Louis, Ronald, Donald, Norman, Charles, Felix, Oscar, Joseph, Robert, Alfred, Albert, Wendell, Jedidiah. _All the names of old people I know/knew

For surnames I suggest: Fletcher, Dawson, Winchester, Morgan, Elliot, Fielding, Paxton, Miller, Swanson, Keller, Spicer, Freeman, Murphy, Finnegan. Any surname that's either Irish or English in origin.

Although I like the suggestions of Sloane, Brynn, and Rowan, I've decided to use Wren
I love James (Jay) for the next character, but would it be too tacky to have a Wren and a Jay? I think I've narrowed it down to Owen, Beck, or James (Jamie).
I'm still being very indecisive about the second boy. I like Griffin, maybe the nn could be Finn. Also, what do you think about Grant for this character?
For the grandfather, I think I'm going to go with Clint or Walter.
I also like Galloway for the surname.

So far, the only name set in stone is Wren, so I'd still appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!

I like Tara Fetcher, Chris Starr and Derek Bonnell. I'm not very good at surnames but the firt names are the names that came to my mind.
Maybe for the grandfather Richard or Theodore? Haffner for the last name?

Hope I could help!

I'm not sure about the choice of the name Wren. I love that name, but I think Thea would suit the character better?

For the first boy, I think Joshua (Josh) works really well. Jamie is nice, also, but I love the idea of him being called Josh.

The second boy...I think Ty is good. Maybe Ollie?
