I think part of the problem is you're using Octavia, a first name, as a last name!. If it was a last name, odds are it would be Italian, yet none of the first names are ethnically Italian!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

you can go to http://surnames!.behindthename!.com/ and they have lists and lists!. You can search by origin as well!.

My suggestion would be to simply add a consonant to the end, names that end in consonants just seem to flow better in writing!. For example Octavias or Octavian!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I think the last names of your characters should match their personality!.I think that's why the last names don't sound right!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

you have no male characters!. Balance is very important!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
