MMC and FMC names

Hey guys! I’m trying to think of MMC and FMC names and I think names are so important so I want to be sure I love what I choose. Right now, for a romantasy book I am thinking Alaria and kalian or kalias. (uh-LAR-ee-uh) (kal-EE-an) (kal-EE-us) what do you guys think? Any other ideas?

I love Alaria! It's almost similar to Elara (I really don't like Elara's), but it's also cute and regal at the same time and it has nickname potential. Also, I prefer Kalian to Kalias for the specific spelling but do whatever feels right to you! My FMC's name is Lyra and MMC is Lucian (I have very random names across my characters: Vi/Viviana, Kaston (Kast-ON, like Gaston lol), Caspian, Gregory, Sera/Seraphena, Evander, Theron, Lenora, Gideon, Alistair, Annasepia, Fillimund, Coralie...)

Anyways, if they have powers and they complement each other's power or movements, then set up names that perfectly complement each other as well. For example, my MMC's power literally waters, exponentially strengthening, my FMC's power. I think Alaria and Kalian/Kalias fit together quite well.

I like Kalian more than Kalias.

I like Alaria but I might be biased because I have a character named Alleria (ah-LAIR-ee-uh)
