Need name help

[sageharper.livejournal.com]

OK these aren't for babies, or even real life people; but names are names. They are for characters in my stories, and it's driving me crazy because I'm a total perfectionist with character names.

So here goes, would you be so kind as to ...

A) finish this sibset...
boy
Nicolai Felixovich Yusupov
boy
Felix Felixovich Yusupov

(Felixovich is part of a Russian naming convention, meaning 'son of Felix' [yup Felix is a juniour, guess they ran out of names]. Yusupov is their surname)
It's for a historical novel, based on real people. So in keeping with the story's setting they have to be traditional names that are well used in Russia. Might be nice if they had nicknames too.
Trust me I have researched high and low and found no record of these brothers names, so have resorted to making them up.

B) A middle name for Madeline [mad-uh-lane]
* surname is Donaghue
* Family is French/Irish (want to represent that in her name)
* They're fairly catholic too, so a saints name might be nice.
* Elder brother is Alexander Patrick [Patrick is their father's name]

C) Does Magnolia May Jones a good combo?
She gets teasingly called Maggie May, so got thinking May might be good as middle name. If it doesn't work then could you suggest something else? (then Maggie May can just be because of the song)

Thank you :)

Mary (and all its variations) is extremely popular among Catholic families, from what I've noticed. I believe Mary is also seen as an especial patron of Ireland, so that might be a good choice.

Brigid (or a variation) might work too, as St. Brigid is a well-known Irish saint.
