Really need help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, I'm a bit stuck on names at the moment for my current novel/story. I've got some pictures here that are the best way I can show the character to you. I'll also have a description for each one.

The Donahue Family:

dad.jpg

1. This is 'dad'. He is Irish, he has a very cheery personality. He loves watching the sports channels, especially the soccer games. He works in an office. He needs an Irish name.

mum.jpg

2. This is 'mom'. She is Italian (weird combo, I know) and she loves to bake/cook. She works in a cafe. She is a very friendly person, and seldom gets angry.

(This guy is in the attached thumbnail)
3. This is a kind 20 year old boy, the first Donahue child. He takes after his mother in looks, but takes after his dad sports wise. He is currently training to be a physical education teacher.

4. This 17 1/2 year old girl is the first Donahue daughter. She has a very caring nature and wants to be a photographer after she leaves school. She is more of a girly girl, but she tries not to be in the popular crowd. She loves make up, dancing and shopping.

5. This is 16 year old Dante (yes, I already have a name for him, but he needs a middle name!!) He also takes after his mother in looks. The only reason I have no photo is because he is the 'dream guy that every girl wants.' He has a caring nature and enjoys skate boarding.

6. This is 14 1/2 year old Imogen. She is a very girly girl, more than her sister. She is always 'hyped' and loves dancing, singing, shopping... EVERYTHING girly. She is in the popular crowd. But... she needs a middle name!!

Thanks heaps!!

Dad: Patrick, Declan, Connor, Finn, Sean, Seamus, Aidan, Rory, Cian, Brian, Ryan, Brennan, Brady, Reilly, Callum...

Mom: Sofia, Giulianna, Giulia, Alessandra, Lucia, Rafaella, Stella, Giovanna, Stefania, Anna, Maria, Giulietta, Natalia, Francesca, Elizabetta, Maddalena, Isabella, Olivia....

Son 1: Irish or Italian or neither? Lucas/Luca, Matthew/Matteo, Samuel, Jacob, Leonardo/Leo, Jonah, Noah, George, Owen, Charles/ Carlo/ Charlie, Michael, Benjamin, Alexander, Teague, Griffin, Adam, Francisco/Frankie...

Daughter 1: Alessia, Maddalena/Magdalena, Gabriella, Cecily, Beatrice, Amelia/Mia, Lucia/Lucy, Dulcie, Anastasia/Anna, Arabella, Araminta, Annabella, Lilia, Clara, Valentina, Evangeline/Evangelina, Sabina/ Sabrina, Serena, Natalia, Juliet, Theresa/Tessa, Carina, Dahlia, Daisy, Calista, Chiara...

Son 2: Dante Christopher, Dante Ian, Dante Ryan, Dante Owen, Dante Alexander, Dante Leo, Dante Alessandro, Dante Theo, Dante Bennett, Dante Francisco, Dante Michael, Dante Nathan, Dante Matteo, Dante Salvatore, Dante Thomas, Dante Patrick, Dante Lucas.

Daughter 2: I'm sorry but I find it really odd that a Italian woman and an Irish man have a child name Imogen, a greek name used predominantly in England. Especially since she looks very dark/Italian in the photo the name Imogen just seems wrong for her. If your going to give her that name she at least needs an Irish, Italian or Catholic middle name, something that reflects her heritage.
Imogen Alessia, Imogen Margaret, Imogen Sinead, Imogen Maeve, Imogen Francesca, Imogen Kathleen, Imogen Sofia, Imogen Lucia, Imogen Ciara, Imogen Chiara, Imogen Maria, Imogen Aoife, Imogen Saoirse, Imogen Mairead...

I would strongly suggest changing Imogen's name. I just sounds weird considering her looks and her family's origins. I would consider Francesca, Gianna, Ginevra "Ginny", Magdalena "Maggie", Gemma, Luna, Allegra, Lilah, Stella, Natalia, Fiona, Vivian/Vivianna, Lucy/Lucia, Bridget, or Beatrix

Hi Jasmine,

So here are my thoughts on your character names;

1 – Dad; Padraig or Padraic (pronounced Paw-drig or Paw-rik respectively) Very popular irish name, From the Latin patricius "nobly born." The Gaelic spelling of the patron saint of Ireland ‘Patrick’

2 – Mum; I like Daniela, just because of how it sounds with Donahue, just rolls of the tongue; Daniela Donahue…. However, not sure she looks like a Daniela, so other thoughts are; Anjelica, Elizabetta, Gabriella, Rosa

3 – Eldest Donahue Boy – Rory, Fionn, Ronan,Tomas (Irish Names) Benito, Andino, Marco, Nicoli (Italian Names) Mix and Match for First Name / Middle Name

4 – Caterina ‘Cat’ for the Italian or Caitriona for the Irish, Alexandria ‘Lexi’ or ‘Alex’, or randomly just because I like it, Fia.

5 – Not sure if this works, but me being me… how about Imogen Amalia Donahue

Hope this is of some help! Happy writing :-)

Dad: Seamus, Brady, or Sean.
Mom: Giulia, Gianna, or Isabella.
First son: Brennan, Liam, or Matteo.
First daughter: Lucia, Gabriella, or Shannon.
Second son: Dante Cormac, Dante Keegan or Dante Sullivan.
Second daughter: I agree with violetgray, I don't think Imogen suits her. How about Alessia, Livia, or Tara?
