:) Yay!
One name I had to laugh about is Fairfax. Fair is clear, a fair person, but for fax the only thing coming to my mind was.. well.. a fax and the thought that she does send many letters and one can send messages with a fax too, but ... a fax of course was not invented, so this could not have been a reason for Austen to call her Fairfax.
Yes yes, one can find diversion in the strangest ways. ;)
