Came across a story I wrote back in 2006, and thought it would be interesting to look at the names.

Lydia Anne Morrow (nn Lidi) (main character; high school)
Eleanor Morrow (Lydia's kid sister; elementary school)
Brandon Morrow (Eleanor's twin brother)
Matthew Slade (becomes Lydia's boyfriend; high school)
Adeline MacGreggor(Lydia's best friend; high school)
Dolores Morrow (Lydia's mom)
Adam Staalwalker (Matthew's roommate in college)
Emelia (Matthew's ex; high school)
Alex Reginald (Lydia's ex; high school)
Francis Morrow (Lydia's dad)
Therese (Dolores's friend)
Anthony Wallens (Francis's friend)

I love Eleanor.

Lydia is kind of growing on me; Brandon and Dolores are GP names for various reasons :)

I really like your taste in fictional names :) Lydia has been growing on me a lot lately. Lydia, Eleanor and Brandon are all characters in Jane Austen novels, which pleased me greatly until the trend was broken with Matthew ^_^ Of the rest I like Therese and Emelia the best.

Aww thanks. ::laughs:: I didn't realize the Austen references until you pointed it out :). I began writing this piece not knowing if it was set in modern times or the 1800s, so I tried to use names that wouldn't lean opinion one way or the other. Plus, it was greatly influence by L.M. Montgomery which is how Anne got in there, but I'm surprised I allowed Matthew in there but I digress :).
