I checked my library online catalog. There is a audio book version of Lord of the Flies narrated by the author, William Golding. That's close to Gladden. However, the following characters are listed; Ralph, Jack, Piggy, Simon, Roger, and twins Sam and Eric, Piers, Donald, Peter, Percival, Robert, Bill, Neville, Howard, Douglas, Matthew, Lance, Leslie, Francis, Morris, Harold, George, Charles, Rowland, Digby, Rupert, Michael and Henry ? possibly also a Maurice (though not listed in the movie cast). So far I haven't found anything else with the characters of plot you'e named, but I'll look a little bit longer before giving up.
