Interesting Character Names

I laughed when I looked at the sequel of "Nan's Journey"...the manuscript. I had named several people Elizabeth!!!! I don't know what is up with that, but I do have a time with figuring out last names and old fashioned first names. Once I had a mountain man named "Thomas Kincade"!!! Aimee, my d-i-l, laughed and said she didn't know he was that old! Boy was my face red when I realized what I had done. I changed the name. I am so glad she caught it. Give me some name suggestions for the third book...Terry and I will choose the winner on April 20. The prize is a book!
