A friend of mine is writing a story, and I was writing a certain characters part in, and the character is supposed to have 5 brothers. She asked me to come up with their names, since I was writing the section where they'd be introduced, but I'm stuck.
The character she gave me is named Rebecca Lizette, and her oldest brother is Harrison.
I like the names Gage, Liam, Seamus, and Morgan, but I'm worried that Liam, Seamus and Morgan are too different, too Irish next to the very English Gage, Harrison, and Rebecca.
What do you think?

The female character is supposed to go by Lizette, rather than Rebecca, and I did look that up and the origin was English (I thought it sounded French, too).
The story is set in Massachusets, present day, and the families are old, and rich. Came from England and the last name is Sackett, if that helps.

Just in case people don't know, the pronunciation for Seamus is Shay-mus, not See-mus.

I don't like Gage... The others, I'm fine with..
Why not Scott or Charles? Simple, plain name, and It would fit fairly well with Rebecca, Lizette, Liam, Seasmus, Morgan, and Harrison.

I wouldn't go with the Irish names, because if they came from England then there names should be English just like Rebecca,Lizette, & Harrison.
Why not the names:
William, Carlton, Edison, Nelson.
I looked them up they are all English names.
I hope this helps & Good Luck with the story!

Liam, Seamus do sound irish but Morgan is a good english name. The name Gage sounds kinda iffy what about Gabriel you could also use names like Abraham,Angel,Emmanuel, Michael, Simon, Peter, Paul, Luke, Matthew, Mark, Dameon you chose these just sound more english to me

Rebecca is actually Hebrew and Lizette is French. Morgan is Welsh, not Irish. If you're writing about an American family, however, I wouldn't worry too much about the name origin. My family has names that are Hebrew, English, Irish, Greek, Italian and just plain made up and I think we're pretty typical.

Gage - good
Liam - William sounds more British (Will for short)
Seamus - too Irish - not for an old rich British family - sounds like a potato farmer - consider Stephen or Stuart both of old English origin
Morgan - good

Well it really depends on the personality of the characters... or the roles in the story. There name should be fitting to the individual characters. If these are just random names you have to come up I do agree with you, Liam and Seamus do sound very irish. But I'm sure you can come up with something.
Hope this helps... maybe LOL

I hate the names Liam and Seamus... I think Morgan is ok. So two more names I'd try to come up with.
Ethan, Caleb, Thomas, Alexander
??? Goodluck

Liam and Seamus do sound very Irish. Morgan sounds girl-ish. Gage is okay, kinda action hero-ish, though.
