I look to translate the current names.

-Paige (I.e the main protagonist (A half-elf of Mirkwood)
-Samuel (A Fisherman from Lake Town)
-Hugo (A hired mercenary)
-Violet (A foreign merchant)

Any idea's?

For Samuel, I'd go more for something like Godred/Osred ('God-counsel').

As for Paige, I looked in the Sindarin wordlist (Direct link to Word Document), and it's a bit difficult. For now, the best I could find would be Gwaedhwen, which could mean something like 'bond[of loyalty]-maiden'. Some other interesting parts I found are 'buia-' ('serve, hold allegiance to', though I think it just sounds ugly as part of a name) and 'hîr'/'heron'/'brannon' ('master') and 'maethor' ('warrior').

For the other two, more information is needed about where they actually come from for even an attempt at a name.
