Pottery Barn names

[stardottedeyes.livejournal.com]

As some of you may know, the Pottery Barn catalog gives many of their items "people" names. For example: Jacob Rug, Cassandra Chandelier, etc.

For fun, I made a list of most of the names from the current catalog. They are grouped according to gender based on my opinion only:

WDYT?

Any that you really like or really dislike?

Poll!

Thanks to all who gave me name suggestions! I've narrowed it down to five names for each character, based on how well the meanings matched up with the characters' personalities.

Setting: 1899, Victorian England.

Note: This is a fantasy story. Epic battles take place like whoa.

First character: Female. Eighteen years old. Sort of muddy red hair - like wet terra cotta. Golden brown eyes. Slightly on the heavy side.. Rounded face. Very pale. Small yet sharp, penetrating eyes. Fiesty, spirited, temperamental, headstrong, yet still very good-natured. Comes from upper class society.

Second character: Female. Eighteen years old. White blonde, flowy hair, down to her waist. Large pale blue eyes. Petite and thin. Pretty and seraphim-like. Very calm and collected, yet strong-willed. Incredibly intelligent. Her appearance is very delicate and frail but she is actually very strong and can be intimidating at the best of times. She comes from very low class society. Her father is an artist.

Please choose according to how the name suits the character's personality, place in society, and the setting rather than how much you personally like the names.
