[Opinions] The real Alice in Wonderland and her family
I've been reading a book by Christina Bjork and Inga-Karin Eriksson called The Other Alice, which is about Lewis Carroll's (real name Charles Dodgson) process of writing Alice in Wonderland and the girl Alice is based on, named Alice Liddell. In it is included a list of the names of Alice Liddell and her family.Her father: Henry George Liddell (1811-1898)
Her mother: Lorina Hannah Liddell, born Reeve (1826-1910)Their children:
Edward Henry Liddell "Harry" (1847-1911)
Lorina Charlotte Liddell (1849-1930)
James Arthur Charles Liddell (1850-1853)
Alice Pleasance Liddell (1852-1934)
Edith Mary Liddell (1854-1876)
Rhoda Caroline Anne Liddell (1859-1949)
Albert Edward Arthur Liddell (1863-1863)
Violet Constance Liddell (1864-1927)
Frederick Francis Liddell "Eric" (1865-1950)
Lionel Charles Liddell (1868-1942)Thoughts?My favourite combo is Violet Constance and I really like the idea of Pleasance as a middle name (apparently it honoured one of Alice's family members). The names all seem like either strong classics or archaic gems and I like the set in total.LISTEN TO THE MUSTN'TS

Listen to the DON'TS
Listen to the SHOULDN'TS

Listen to the NEVER HAVES
