Not sure what the last 2 "normal" names could be, but it's a start. We could always go with the classic "Hypolita." I can't wait to see how this goes!!!

If she had a more common name like Lisa or Karen--no glitz or glamour--and her last name had some Shakespear in it--like Charmian or Reagan..<br /><br />Lisa Reagan<br />Lisa Charmian<br />Karen Reagan (I like this!)<br />Karen Charmian<br /><br />Then, going with the "please don't squeeze the ..." idea, that might be a place to give some background on her childhood--who started saying that about her and what did it make her feel like? Is she chunky to boot and that just made the comment hurt all that more?Brooke B.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146231821288628216.post-50867500433855468962011-03-30T12:57:53.186-07:002011-03-30T12:57:53.186-07:00Oh and the only thing I know so far about Calpurni...Oh and the only thing I know so far about Calpurnia, since I am only in act 1 scene 2, is that she is barren but has been a bystander in a ritual in which 2 men race around a track with these leather straps in hand. It was believed if the barren woman is touched by these straps she will have a child within a year. Don't know if that helps at all just find its interesting that you are asking about a Shakespear character at the same time I start reading one of his plays....funny huh?Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15145624701629427805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5146231821288628216.post-44065237014895497002011-03-30T12:03:30.464-07:002011-03-30T12:03:30.464-07:00I'm reading Julius Ceasar with Caleb and the w...I'm reading Julius Ceasar with Caleb and the wife of Ceasar is Calpurnia and the wife of Brutus, his adversary, is Portia.
