Help[Opinions] Names for characters from my book
Hello,
In the future I want to write a book on wattpad about a young girl named Clara (11 yo) living in a orphanage in Paris, France. One day she gets adopted by same-sex couple (two men). Action takes place in Paris, France, 2023.
Here are the characters:
Clara Roux - 11-year-old (later 12) protagonist. She ended up in an orphanage because her father killed her mother. One day she gets adopted by same-sex couple (Alexandre "Alex" and Benjamin "Benji"). When she moved in with Alex and Benji, she changed school. Unfortunately at first day of her new school, she gets bullied by her classmate, Tatiana Novikoff (Tatiana was born in France, but she is of Russian origin), because of getting adopted by same-sex couple. Eventually Tatiana apologised about her behaviour and befriended Clara.
Alexandre "Alex" Roux - gay man. Clara's adoptive father. He loves sports.
Benjamin "Benji" Roux - Clara's second adoptive father and loves cooking.
Tatiana Novikoff - French-Russian girl living in France with her family. Firstly she doesn't like Clara and bully her, but eventually she befriended her. She grew up in one of the richest families in France.
Kylian Aubert - 14-year-old friend of Clara and Tatiana. He is a neighbour of Roux family, he is a gay, but he didn't came out. He is of Malian origin.
Inès Simonet - 12-year-old classmate and friend of Tatiana and Clara. She hates her appearance and is slightly overweight. Clara befriended her on the first day of school.

Novikoff is ok only if the family emigrated more than a hundred years ago (or pretends to be).
Otherwise it looks anachronistic.

Oh okk. But Tatiana's family came to France in 1990s
In that case, Novikova (feminine form of Novikov) would sound more realistic.
Or just Novikov, The name of Tatiana's mother is Anaïs Novikov (nee Morin). She is a French woman, but she married a Russian man.
I can relate to being bullied about being raised by a same sex couple. I was bullied relentlessly. One year kids even lit our Christmas decorations on fire in the front yard and nearly burned our house down.
Oh, that's sad... I hope the kids were punished
I hope the police was notified about that.
