Writing Question

What should I name my characters? (More details...)

My friends and I are writing this story and we're having quite a hard time deciding on the names since there are three of us...

So the protagonist is this 13/14 year old girl with red hair and green eyes. She's short tempered, agile, quick thinking, messy, snide and sarcastic.
Name options:
Clove
Cass (short for Cassandra)
Verra
Claude
Loralie
Freida

Her friend, an artist, is in her twenties. Italian. She's undecided, always has mood swings and eccentric. Since she always changes her hair color, she doesn't have a clue what her original color was.
Names:
Elizabeth "Leslie"/"Lizzie"
Jessica "Jaz"/"Jessie
Gwendolyn "Gwyn"
Maxine "Max"
Judith "Jude"

And lastly, the rival of the artist, a beautiful, glamorous, and quite 'bitchy' girl with long, straight black hair and striking amber eyes. Half Italian, half British.
Names:
Lucienna
Nataliya
Daniela
Naomi
Roxanne
Loraine
Simone


I appreciate those who help out! Props to those who will! =)

Okay, so I pretty much think we'll be naming the protagonist "Verra" and the rival "Lucienna"...I think...

For the protagonist, I like (and yes, I used some of the ones you were thinking of, I just researched them a little):
(Name - Meaning - Origin)

Clove - A Nail, Spice - German
Verra - Faith - Russian
Loralie - Alluring Enchantress - German
Kiara - Dark - Irish
Evonne - Yew - American (Note: Yew is often symbolic of death)
Mina - Strong Willed Warrior - English

For her friend:

Maxine "Max" - Greatest - French
Halyn "Hal" - Unique and Special, Unlike Another - American
Amethyst "Ammie" - Purple Quartz Gemstone - Greek (Note: Amethyst is known for healing. There is A LOT of info about these if you like the name)
Crystal "Crys" - Earth Mineral or Brilliant Glass - Latin (Again, lots of info. Known for magic, power and healing)
Ife - Lover of Art and Culture - African

The bitchy girl:

Simone - To Be Heard - French
Narcissa - Numbness - Greek (sounds like Narcissistic)
Maro - Myself - Japanese
Maleah - Sea of Bitterness - Polynesian/Hawaiian
Lolita - Sorrows - Spanish

Hope I helped! :)

Cass is nice for the main. What about Olivia?
Judith is nice, but for a nickname I`d use Judy not Jude.
Roxanne or Natalya is nice for the rival.

Next time you need names, you should research names that mean somethig about the character. For example if the character is beautiful you could use Bella, which means beautiful

The one with the red hair should be Clove.
The 20 year old should be Gwyn.
The 'bitchy' one should be Nataliya.
