OK, knowing her age tells me something and her borther's name. Around here, and not super typical town, a lot Amys, though I don't suppose you want to give her your name. Cindy is fairly common. Also two separate women I know named their kid "Sage", but I gather that is the kind of thing you want to avoid. One Rachel. One Anna-Marie. One Carmen. One Sonja. One Brenda.

Oh and one Megan and one Elizabeth. Tanya. Teresa.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Emily? Amanda? Picked from glancing at the Name Voyager for popular names in the 90s/2000s. [link]

Because books.

That's what I'm thinking -- either a popular name when she would have been born, or a crappy name she hates and uses a nickname based on her last name (or something) instead.

I'm thinking maybe something like Melissa but she goes by Mel, or similar.

But I don't know! Wren came out of nowhere, and it worked! Argh.

Madison, goes by Mad? I love this game.

OH MY GOD, I think that might be it. For real. That suits her to a fucking tee.

JESSE FOR THE WIN! (I think. Pretty sure. Like, 98% sure!)

Is Donna too old fashioned? Like she was named for a relative?

Because books.

The sound of Donna isn't strong enough for what I want. (The actual sound, not the connotation -- the short vowel, the n sound, the second short vowel.)

I've pretty much decided to go with Jesse's suggestion

Madison/Mad does have a strong sound. Is her middle name "Dolly"?, in case you want to have a moment of cute.
