Hepsibah, now that is a
name, lol! It doesn't really suit my character, though--but I wonder if it could be her mother's name, perhaps? All the other names you mentioned in that paragraph, though (besides Lavinia), are being used by characters in other stories of the series this will be a part of (I've seen Susan & Susannah suggested a few times, along with Abigail, and I'm like, "Dang, I can't use those, either!").
Hannah & Ruth are both nearing the top of the list. For surnames, Clarke is a good one, along with Ford and Wade (I've become convinced it should be one syllable).
