A lot of girls with three names, that’s unusual here in Chile.

[name_f]Hepzibah[/name_f] [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]… [name_f]Hepzibah[/name_f] is… ugh… but [name_f]Lavinia[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is absoulutely beautiful!
I like [name_f]Nancy[/name_f] [name_f]Amanda[/name_f], [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] [name_u]Clare[/name_u] and [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] too.
