Magic for Marigold

[hotchpot.livejournal.com]

There is an LM Montgomery (same woman who wrote Anne of Green Gables) book called "Magic for Marigold," and for those of you who aren't familiar with it, it is about a little girl who is born after her father dies, and at the beginning of the book, the whole extended family comes together to try to figure out a name for her. Eventually, the child gets very sick and they name her after her doctor who saves her life (Marigold Woodruff Lesley is the name they settle on--I'm fond of both, because Woodruff is a family name). But I thought for fun I would post the names they mention in the story before they settle on one to see what you all think of them.

BTW, you can read the book online here

Keep in mind it was published in 1929.
