Names for love interests to main character

Hello writer berries! Im looking to name a character who will be a tragic love interest for one if the main characters in my story. She is an upcoming actress, Italian and Latin. Im picturing an Eva Mendes type vibe. First generation American but spent a lot of time living in Italy throughout her life.

She’s beautiful, drawing more attention for her looks than her acting abilities. But she’s also a nice person. Not ready for all the attention that is set to come her way. She broke up a long time, high school sweetheart relationship when she met the protagonist, but she’s not really aware of this. Its more on the protagonist for not handling the situation very well. Unfortunately, her life will be cut short due to a tragic accident when she gets involved with him so her time in the novel is short and sweet…

Victoria Carini
Alessandra Carini
Elisabetta Carini
Luciana Carini

(for fun I’m thinking middle name is Paola)

I’d also like her to have a nickname thst close friends call her but not the general public. Alessandra might be Alex. Elisabetta, maybe Liza. Luciana obviously probably Lucy. Victoria might just be Vick because I dont like Vicky or Tori.

And then I’m looking for a female name completely opposite of this vibe, but still pretty. Something like Jane - common enough, timeless but also refreshing- like not something necessarily on trend at the moment.

This is the high school sweetheart who is always there for the protagonist even after he leaves her briefly for this actress. She picks up the pieces when the protagonist survives a tragic motorcycle accident that takes the life of his new girlfriend.

For [name_f]Victoria[/name_f], if you don’t like [name_f]Vicky[/name_f] or [name_f]Tori[/name_f], you could possibly use [name_f]Via[/name_f] or [name_f]Tia[/name_f] or other letters from the name with “ia”. I think readers will get how the nn came from [name_f]Victoria[/name_f]. However, I wouldn’t [name_f]Ria[/name_f], unless you want readers to think she’s a crappy person. LOL
