I'm starting to a write a story, problem is, I can't come up with a name for the main charactor.

The story is set in the early 90's so around 1992-1993.
The main Charactor is an 18 year old singer, she is Italian-Irish, born is New Jersey but raised in Boston for most of her life.
I picture her dark haired, light eyed and light skinned.

I like names that are not to common, not to to girly either, I'll take any and all suggestions though.
For some reason I've been thinking about "Valentina" I like it, but I'm not stoked about it.

Thanks for the help!

Veronica? That's a nice Italian name. I don't like Valeria. There's a few more but they've already come up.

When you say Italian-Irish are you meaning her parents are actually from Italy and Ireland respectively or are you going with the more liberal definition of I have one relative about six generations back that came from Italy so I'm totally Italian ... Because I'm not sure but I think an actual Italian might have a little trouble pronouncing Siobhan, I could be wrong. My Italian friends are all at work or still asleep. If one parent is actually Italian you might want to avoid any TH sounds. It doesn't really occur in Italian and I know the Italians I know tend to have trouble with it.

You could use this to see what was popular in the US at the time http://www.galbithink.org/names/us200.htm
And it's character not charactor btw.

Siobhan is completely foreign to an italian.
