You guys are the best! All those wonderful names. I was immediately drawn to John Raisor’s Iris, but then I remembered my own rule about naming characters ending in the letter “s.” Never do it, because of the whole apostrophe thing when using the possessive.
Other contenders were Ginger and Olive (thanks Mary), as well as Dian’s Charmaine (but due to that obnoxious Virgin River character who was pregnant for half a decade, I couldn’t do it).
After much deliberation, I have decided on Rachel Barnard’s Pearl for the older sister. I am still deliberating on the younger sister’s name. I think I need to write a couple scenes before I decide on that one. So Rachel, shoot me an email at: sv@suzyvitello.com
and I’ll send the goods your way when back in Portland in early February.
Thanks to all!
Pearl is a lovely name. Had a great aunt Pearl.
Virgin River eh? Despite all their Portland snark? 😉
