The Ingalls family did have great names – [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] Quiner was way ahead of her time with [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] [name_u]Lake[/name_u]! Also, [name_f]Laura[/name_f]'s daughter was a writer, and I adore her name: [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_u]Wilder[/name_u] [name_u]Lane[/name_u].

Little off prompt, but some wonderful sibling names of authors: [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f] “Vinnia” Norcross [name_m]Dickinson[/name_m] (sister of [name_f]Emily[/name_f] [name_m]Dickinson[/name_m]) and [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] Sewall [name_u]Alcott[/name_u] (sister of [name_f]Louisa[/name_f] [name_f]May[/name_f], basis of [name_f]Beth[/name_f]).
And fun fact, my brother is named [name_m]Jack[/name_m] after [name_m]Kerouac[/name_m]!
