___________ Swynford

I have a character I was planning to naming Lavinia, but I’ve decided I love the name too much and want to keep it for myself.

The last name is Swynford, and she has two brothers: Graham and Broderick. I was thinking of Elizabeth, but I’m not too sure about that.

She has brown hair, is in her 20’s, parties a lot, and she recently moved to London. I’m looking for a name that seems to contrast with this behavior, so something that’s a little more buttoned up.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

I think you can try [name]Margaret[/name] nn [name]Maggie[/name], for the main character. That seems to fit.
