I'm writing a story about this guy named James, from England, whose father kills himself right in front of him when he was 11. His family is very small, but his eventual husband's family is not very small at all. What do you think of these names?

James' Family:

Mother: Jennifer Jane Jensen
Father: Gregory James Cook
Son: James Richard Gregory Cook
Aunt: Annabel Taylor Cook
Uncle: Henry Arthur Goldman

Nick's Family:
Mother: Georgina Elizabeth Michaels
Father: Peter William Marshal
Children:
1. Jacob Peter Marshal (nn- Jake)
2. Paul Andrew Marshal
3. Bernard Louis Marshal
4. Isabella Georgina Marshal
5. Nicholas Patrick Marshal (nn- Nick)
6. Ann Marie Elizabeth Marshal
7. Noah Michael Marshal (died as a baby)
8. Olivia Norah Marshal

Jake's Family:
Wife: Cassandra Shanna Vernon (nn- Cassie)
Son: Edward Jacob Marshal
Daughter: Ellie Marie Marshal

Paul's Family:
Wife: Hanna Grace Gunderson
Children:
1. Jessica Deanna Marshal
2. Julia Dara Marshal
3. Jana Delila Marshal

Isabella's Family:
Husband: Jordan Michael Edwards
Daughter: Lilyana Maria Edwards

I like most of the names very much but is this a work of fiction? If so, won't most of the middle names be irrelevant anyway? I mean, you often read, "Jake walked into the room" but rarely "Jake Peter Marshal walked into the room". :). It sounds like they were fun to come up with either way, though!

It is fiction, but I like to establish the full names first off, it gives me more of an idea of their personality.

That makes sense.

I like them - they sound solidly real, and lend well, you can hear them all coming from the same social background...
