character names

[soundofbusiness.livejournal.com]

I'm trying to come up with some names for characters for a story. So far, this is what I need help with:

1. I need two female names that rhyme or sound similiar. The three possible sets I've come up with are Shannon/Rhiannon, Marissa/Laurissa, and Christina/Katrina. I'd really prefer if they're longer names, but I'm stuck at the moment, so any suggestions are appreciated!

2. I want to name two additional female characters after places in New Jersey. (just bear with me here, haha.) This is the list of possible town names so far:

Ardena
Auburn
Avalon
Brielle
Concordia
Eldora
Estell(e)
Glendora
Iona
Keasbey
Kinkora
Lenola
Leonia
Normandie
Olivet
Roselle
Salem
Verona

Do you guys have any other suggestions in that theme? I'm pretty sure I'll use Roselle. My other favorites out of those are Ardena, Auburn, Glendora, Lenola, and Leonia.

Like I said before, any input is greatly appreciated. I haven't started naming the male characters yet, but I'm sure I'll be back with more questions once I take on that part of the project ;)
