I'm just curious which name you guys like most. I don't have a great sense of the character at the moment because I am just getting started. I know that she is the oldest sibling, she is seventeen years old, and she ran away with her little brother. Her and her brother now live in a cabin in the woods. Her little brother's name is Noam.

Sorcha is my middle name ;) so obviously I voted for it.

Aisling has funny connotations here -- in fact, there's a whole series of books about her. Not bad connotations, just funny ones.

I love Sylvie too!

I picked Sorcha because it is a very nice name for sure.
Oh you just have to wait, and peace will come to you!

@StellaThomas I love the name Sorcha. What a wonderful middle name :)

Also the name in the poll is Ashling not Aisling :b
Here is the link to the page I found it on -> https://nameberry.com/babyname/Ashling

Hey @Charm! I was just wondering if you'd picked a name after running this poll or if you were still up in the air about it and looking for help?

@blueclues I picked Sorcha since it was the favorite and I really liked it. I'll probably still use these names in the future for other stories. Thanks for reminding me, I realized that I forgot to update lol
