Names for characters? please Help!?

Question

im writing a love story about a young couple ( age 16) fall in love over the summer, ( cliche`, i know) they drift apart, but continue to write eachother letters every day of their lives, for a year, until the girl becomes fately sick with cancer. I need to name the girl and boy. 

Girl- I want something not too modern, not too old fashioned, not too common. SHe is down to earth and was normal, but when she was diagnosed with cancer she realizes her life had flashed before her eyes. Has an older brother, in the air force. She has dark brown hair, green eyes, freckles and is gorgeous, loves to play soccer and is a head cheerleader, she seems to have everything going for her in life. She is also very bright.

Boy- Sporty. He is bit by a shark in part of the story, but is fine. He has an older brother and a older sister and a younger sister. He is Irish. Dark brown hair, Bright Blue eyes, loves to sing, tall, very nice, loves volunteering for local charities. His younger sister has down syndrome, which inspires him to live life to the fullest.

Sorry this is long, but thank you everyone for your help! I need first middle last names, and if you want you can make any suggestions for the story or anything you want! Thanks so much!

Girl - Saskia, Georgia, Annika, Fran, Louise, Gemma, Katy... A middle name like Rose, Matilda or Louise (unless you chose Louise as her first name :'D) could work well... (e.g. Gemma Louise, Annika Rose, etc.). As for last names, what about using a colour as a last name? I always like it when characters have a last name like Green, White, Black or Brown.

Boy - Craig, Daniel, Aaron, Ged, Harry... I think Oliver is a really nice middle name for guys. And as for last names, if he's Irish, then what about O'Neil, Quinn, Walsh... here's a list of 100 common Irish last names :) http://www.ireland-information.com/heraldichall/irishsurnames.htm

Good luck with your story, it sounds awesome. ...and sad... but still awesome :)

I think for the girl something like Sara. (pronounced like Zara bit with a "ss" sound at the front, its also not pronounced like Sarah), Full name could be something like Sara India Mavrick.

For the boy: Since he is Irish, I would use an Irish name like Aidan.His full name could be Aidan Tyler Brennan (Brennan is also an Irish name)

Hope this helps,
Love Lola x
