Game: How do names affect our perception of characters?

Hello friends,

I have a serious post in the works, but it's not coming as quick as I'd like. So while that's not happening i thought I'd do a little experiment. Sometimes characters have a especially villainous or heroic name. Other times they're more subtle. And I was wondering just how much effect they have on perception of character.

Speaking personally, I tend to carry on traits between characters with the same name. I think I even start imagining some similarities that aren't really there. And when they are similar, well, Marcus shall always mean soldier and protector in my mind, because of several characters with those traits.

Anyway I wanted to see what you all thought of the names I have in Lady of Courage. There are a couple of villains in the book and there are a few especially noble people including the one who ends up marrying Natalia, my heroine.

So I'll give you a list and in the comment you can tell me who you think the villains are and who the hero is. Feel free to add any other comments about them if you like.

Celino Acqui                  Justini Rizzetti             Demetrio Pavone

Taddio Orberti               Lorenzo Falco                    Luca Mondo

Orsini Rizzetti                    Ivano Naldi                Rodrigo Baldini 

Also there is a female antagonist. Guess who that is?

Eloisa Muertas                Rhesa Masi                  Valentina Orberti

Rubina Falco                Cloe Neroni                   Bettina Baldini

And in case you hadn't noticed the names have an Italian feel to them. But you had noticed because you're all smart people and I made it kind of obvious. And the women do not change their last names when they marry, so if people have the same last name don't assume they're husband and wife.

I'm looking forward to telling you bits and pieces about these people in the future. Some more than others, because of secrets and the fact that some are more significant than others. To keep those secrets for now, I'm not going to tell you what the right answers are. But I will give you all points for correct guesses of any sort and announce them at the end of the month. And I'll add one extra question; who do you think dies?
