Alison, where are you? Are you just busy writing? I’m starting to get worried! It’s quiet down there in your part of Carlsbad. Will is singlehandedly holding down the fort for your town.

My great grandmother, who was born two centuries ago (sometime in the late 1890′s) was named Beatrice. She shortened her name to Bea for the most part, but it is irrelevant. She was known as Jake. I don’t know why, but EVERYONE called her Jake. We grandkids referred to her as Ma Jake. She was a calendar girl once during the very early days of the depression. No string bikinis for her. She was dressed in the fashion of the day and had long hair that hung to waist. She must have been quite a force to be reckoned with.

Uh, what was your question?

Amy and Avily,

I was considering both of those types of things, but wasn’t satisfied with any specific names. I’m glad someone else has thought of it, too. Hmmm…

The suggestions are better than mine!

I’d go with something distinctly masculine, but a diminutive form of something distinctly feminine. Like Sam from Samantha, Pete from Petunia, or Larry from Lavinia, Chuck from Charlotte or something.

Or, like Amy suggested, a nickname of her own choosing, or something that was handed to her based on her personality.

It might be interesting to cross-type her name, say Claire, and have her come up with her own nickname like Bug.

Wow…these are some great suggestions. Keep ‘em coming!

Hmmm…maybe she should have a reeeeally long name so I could use them all.

She sounds like “Millie” to me — short for Mildred, my Mom. Of course, my mom didn’t shoot or ride, but when you said red lipstick and pearl necklace, my mom is who I envisioned.
