I'm glad you approve of the change. :) The "naming" scene always felt so awkward and I know it will read much more smoothly with a name that has a direct meaning. (I'm also playing with how to make a symbol out of the pearl necklace that Cabrina wears and which allowing Ghita to explain her name to them.)
I'm reading a Georgette Heyer mystery at the moment and about half the men have surnames beginning with H. As we rarely learn their first names I find myself skipping backwards and forwards trying to remember who they all are.
Interesting suggestion. Thanks. As a name I like it very much and if she were a different type of character, I would use it.
Geneviève would absolutely refuse to answer to Ginette. The -ette ending is far too feminine (this is also why I hesitated as to whether she would put up with Evie over Eve), but also because though biologically she's 100% French, she hates acknowledging it and considers herself Austro-German like her "stepfather".

Good luck with your MFA application.

I've pretty much decided on Evie -- and all my readers that I've asked agree with me, which is comforting.
So excited for the MFA, but so much to get done to get the application ready.
