HelpA few character name changes?
Hey, I'm thinking about changing a few of my character names. I'll jump right to it and keep it as brief as I can
Ariana (Husband's name is Noah Barnett and they have 3 kids together. Maybe Grace or Eliza to replace her original name?) I simply picked her original name purely because I could not think of another name and just went with it. Ariana isn't a bad name but it absolutely doesn't fit the character and having multiple pronunciation to the name is irritating. Her name definitely needs replacing.
Madalin: (husband's name is Zach Hemingway. Zach is one its own) Something that goes better with the surname I guess? Something more age appropriate. I just don't care for the name on this particular character. Ok name though. I would change the surname because Hemingway is one of those iconic and stereotypical types. But I honestly couldn't find another to fit in with Zach or Margret (Their Daughter)
Cole (Well not his first name. That's set in stone. But his surname. Which embaressingly sounds...awkward) I wanted a surname that was extremely original or uncommon. So I essentially just made up one. And I almost gaurentee it is lol. its Ackwood. Cole Ackwood. Need a surname that's from an caucassion based country if that makes a lick of sense because this character is white or is made up but sounds good. Simply yet unique
Lastly
Greta, Jackson & Paige or Greta, Leo & Paige? Or some other?

Hmmm:
Ariana Barnett --> Clare Barnett or Jacinda Barnett
Madalin Hemingway --> Melora Hemingway or Stella Hemingway
Surname for Cole (tip -- most of these came from the index of two books nearest to my desk):
Cobbett, Ruddick, Pym, Smithhurst, Mortimer, Teagarden, Plomley, Merrihew, Hardwicke, Dimbleby, Ashcroft, Thorndike, Makepeace.
(Another tip: any surname from a P.G. Woodhouse character should do the trick) :0)

Ariana definitely sounds like too young of a name to be married and have three kids by now. I would go with Grace. Noah and Grace Barnett.
Instead of Madalin, consider Marnie or Marlo. Both are retro, but would not have been unheard of 4o years ago. Think of Marlo Thomas. I think Marlo might even work better since it's a pop culture name that kind of lends to Hemingway.
Cole Somerby
Greta, Jackson and Paige, even though I don't like Jackson. I think Greta, Jared and Paige might be nicer, but less trendy.

I think I'm definitely will change the first characters name to Grace despite my disinterest in virtue names. Grace isn't a name I drool over but its still very tolerant. I feel the name fits the character more and is more age appropriate. My only problem I'd if Noah& Grace may be too matchy for a married couple. They seem like names for a brother and sister type. Ah, screw it. Grace it is. Got that one out of the way at least (:
I was thinking about maybe Eliza. I prefer that name an exceedingly amount more but Grace fits the character more
