Samuel means God has heard or God's name.. so Godhyrede though present tense seems a bit more name like Godhyreth. Theree are a couple of oe god names, Godric, Godwin which have variants where god has morphed into os..osric oswin so you could have Osnam for the God's name meaning.

Paige has its origin in page boy, the first stage in training to be a knight. I am playing with a few possibilities linked to the latin meanin but the oe equivalent of the role is thegan or thegn..the origin of Thain and Merry was Theodens sword thane.

Hugo..still, working on but getting somewhere..Violet, oddly since there is an elvish name, helin, is the hard one wvwn though I have found a plant index. I am looking at rendering the english traditional name hearts ease maybe. However since some names got adapted by sound rather than meaning you may want to tinker a bit ...or look at the hobbit genealogies and see if there is anything similar. I think there is definitely a hugo. Remember that the Baranduin became Brandywine. AnywayI am sor4y not to have more promising results but I suppose if it had been easy you wouldn't be asking!
Oh wow, thank you for your help Mithalwen, you didn't have to go through all the trouble. I'm very thankful . Now the only issue is Paige for since she's female Thegan/gn sounds fairly masculine. Is their any good way to feminize it abit?
