Thank you! These all ring right on for me. I love the options of Marie-Cecile and Mary-Catherine for the young girl... one off the coast of France, one off Ireland.

I love that Rachel makes you think of the last image! I have a similar perception of it - more rich and mysterious than I think some people think of Rachel, which some seem to think of as plain. Myrtle Arabella would be a fabulous film character.
