Glad to have you join us, Liz and Mandi!
Good question, Mandi. The rules aren't written in stone anywhere but I'm thinking any female character would be acceptable. If I hear otherwise, I'll certainly pass it on.
BTW, it's nearly 2016 on the other side of the world (from me, that is) so here's wishing us all a happy & healthy 2016 with lots of great reading!

I think we answered this question, or a variation on it, in one of the other threads, so I know you & I are clear, Maddison, but just in case anyone else is wondering also...the answer is yes. If you read 2 books with the same character, you can use the name twice, once for the first name and once for the last name.
Any questions, please do ask!
