Names names names?

I'm writing a story...and need suggestions and thoughts on names....the story is aboout 3 girls graduating from grade 8 and getting ready for their big dance and end of year party, etc. Here are the character names I have already thought of....do you like them...or do they suck?....Here they are:
Flo (Floraline)-Mom gave her an awful name, bubbly, sweet, sophistacated, blond curly hair, blue eyes, popular, cheerleader
Cadence- One of Flo's BFF...dark skin, dark hair, eyes, lips, etc, funny, likes to joke, popular, cheerleader, happy, atheletic
Peyton- Flo's other BFF, shy, talkitive arond people she knows, family owns dress shop, makeup shop and hair salon, poker straight red hair, popular, green eyes
Ella-Peyton's older stepsister, annoying yet helpful and fun, popular, mean to Peyton's little sister Laney,not changing that name...fits perfectly with character, black hair, blue eyes
Emmy-annoying, mean, fashionable stepmom to Peyton
Clarissa-mean girl at school
Shae-weird girl

what about kayden instead of cadence.

Poker Gender Part II : Women… From Mars!

Women seem to be more rationally driven when playing poker than most players of the opposite sex.

According to several sources, rational female poker players not only have to find ways of coping with the persistent sexism portrayed on the felt, but also to develop their unique poker strategy using their most obvious strengths. Some of the stereotypes that label reason-driven women are: the manipulative savvy, the classy-aggressive lady, and the bold aggressive go-getter.

The Manipulative Savvy. According to several sources, this category is where all deceiving appearances fall: the “innocent girl” look, the “bimbo” look and the “average brainless middle-aged housewife” look. Women who can easily be judged by how they carry themselves are actually playing poker before sitting at the table; they are already bluffing about how they will potentially play. They know that by playing a seemingly weak female role, they are provoking the type of reaction from other players that will help them win the game: most of their opponents will not feel threatened by them; instead, they will more than likely try to show off their skills with the kind of confidence that really backfires when they realize the deceiving female savvy is taking all their money.

The bimbo will really use her sexuality to distract and irritate; the innocent girl will attract protection from gentlemen and frustration from girl-haters, and the middle-aged housewife will use her apparent ignorance and random curiosity for poker to her advantage.

Savvy women who fool others with their appearance can really benefit from this first impression, since it is easy to figure out a pattern of responses from sexist males to build a killing strategy at the table.

The Classy-Aggressive Lady. This type of female poker player can knock you off your feet when you least expect it. Far from falling into deceiving looks, she has her unique look and class that makes others respect her, but when it comes down to getting everybody’s money, she is relentless.

However, when luck or skill are not at her side, she keeps her poise and reveals no emotion whatsoever; she even keeps talking pleasantly to her worst opponents, which sometimes makes them apologize for taking her money, to what she usually responds with “that’s OK, I understand.” This woman will never use profanity at the table, and her body language will always be calm and together, regardless of how good or bad her game is going.

The Bold Aggressive Go-Getter. This woman is more predictable in the way she conducts herself, and people can clearly see her strong to-the-point personality; she does not bother to make small talk or use her looks to her advantage: she is there strictly to play poker. No emotions or time for drama. She usually has a serious face and keeps to herself, and calmly tolerates sexism with an indifferent attitude, giving energy only to the game. Of course, when it is time to show what she’s made of, she enjoys her victories with a reserved smile.

The previous personality descriptions sound more rational than emotional, and it seems like women have learned to protect themselves from poker sexism with exactly the opposite of what is expected of them: getting rid of emotional responses at the table.

This has apparently spurred a highly emotional response from their male opponents, to the point of switching labels from the famous book Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus. Player and author Steve Badger states that “women as a group play poker more successfully than men do because they lose less per capita than men. The mass of women players -- most playing tightish, non-hormonal poker -- do far better than the mass of men, a great many of whom let ego, machismo and testosterone affect their play dramatically.”

So, as fellow author and player Vince Burgio said, “Why can't a man be more like a woman?”
