I just started reading ‘The Distant Hours’ by [name]Kate[/name] [name]Morton[/name] today (she also wrote the novels “The House at Riverton” and “The Forgotten Garden” and it has some amazing names in it.
The book centers around the 3 [name]Blythe[/name] sisters who are spinsters and live in an old and crumbling castle in the English countryside.
Their names are:
Twins [name]Seraphine[/name] and [name]Persephone[/name], who go by Saffy and [name]Percy[/name]
and little sister [name]Juniper[/name], who goes by [name]June[/name].
The protaganist is [name]Edith[/name], who goes by [name]Edie[/name].
I think [name]Seraphine[/name] “Saffy” and [name]Persephone[/name] “[name]Percy[/name]” are fabulous and [name]Percy[/name] and Saffy are brilliant nicknames. I would TOTALLY name by daughter [name]Persephone[/name] and call her [name]Percy[/name]! I think [name]Juniper[/name] is lovely as well, I think I would call her [name]June[/name] or Junebug. :). And I like [name]Edie[/name] and [name]Edith[/name], but I love [name]Evie[/name] and [name]Evangeline[/name] more.
Thoughts on these names/nicknames?
