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.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Today would have been my grandmother's 24th birthday.
We had a routine. In common years, I'd call to wish her “Happy Birthday!” on February 28th, and she would reply, “Oh, no, it's not my birthday yet.” When I wished her “Happy Birthday!” on March 1st, she would say, “Thanks, but you missed it.” Only on leap years would there be an actual celebration with cake and candles. She liked it that way.
So here's to you, grandma Hilda. I'm sorry you're not around to enjoy birthdays and un-birthdays anymore, but I'll celebrate them for you nonetheless.
