HelpRe: A Typical Irish Family, Moving to America
in reply to a message by Clovetta
Everything depends on what you want to do with the story. If you're writing it solely for your own pleasure, write as many C names as you want. If you've got designs on publishing it or something, you really may want to have a few less.
And Wright is a perfectly common last name in the US, so it certainly works. I'm just biased towards last names that hint at something other than "of at least partly English descent," especially since the US is known for its immigrants. :) Having the O'Briens and the Hummels or the O'Briens and the Wolanskis or the O'Briens and the Minettes might provide an additional little sparkle of contrast to the families.
I'm sure whatever you choose will be just fine, though.
