'Shiro' may be 城(=castle), but I think it's not likely to be 白(=white) as a surname.
The boys name you're talking about must be 'Shiroo' or 'Shirou' (=史郎、史朗、司郎、司朗、志郎、志朗、四郎、四朗 etc.) 史=history, 司=to administer, 志=will, wish 四=4(four). 郎=a boy, a man. 朗=cheerful, bright, merry.

'Nagi' may be 名城(名=name, famous. 城=castle) or 名木(木=tree, wood), I guess...
