Help[Opinions] Re: A Typical Irish Family, Moving to America
in reply to a message by Clovetta
So--just so I can see the families more clearly, they're
LN: O'Brien
DH: Cian
DW: Mary
DD: Caoimhe
DD: Siofra
DS: Rory
and
LN: Wright
DH: Christopher
DW: Amanda
DD: Carlie
DD: Courtney
DD: Chloe
right? :)
I think the names all sound realistic enough. The one thing I hesitate at is the number of names you have beginning with the letter C. Cian-Caoimhe-Christopher-Carlie-Courtney-Chloe is a lot, and I hear that some people get characters with names that have the same first letter mixed up on occasion. I don't generally have that happen to me, but you might want to consider mixing a few more letters.
I also would like to suggest that a less WASPy surname might be nice for the American family, but depending on where and how the characters live, it might be the most appropriate. I just grow tired of everyone having English sounding last names. ;)
