Love this! And I just pre-ordered Bitterroot! Going by my own contingent of middle-aged classmates, you'd be spot on with a Heather, Kimberly, Robin or Jennifer. I'd offer up Ethel and Mildred (my grandmothers' names) but there'd have to be a good reason for your characters getting stuck with those, lol.

Marjani and Beverly....for your two characters names. Marjani was born 'Elizabeth' but changed it to Marjani when she started to become 'woke'.

Congratulations on your 10 year anniversary! How about Emerald (she’d rather go by “Emma” in her youth and keep the full name unmentioned) and Dulcinea (she never wanted her name shortened, it was always the full name)?

Happy decade celebration of THE MOMENT BEFORE, Suzy! And a name for one of your still-in-outline-mode novel protagonists? I like Elodie.
