These are tallies my group and I had done with our peers to see what names would be popular for the mother and twin.
For Azlyn's twin we chose Mara (with the Hebrew origin of 'bitter' and the biblical connotation of Naomi claiming the name Mara due to the deaths of her husband and sons therefore representing the character of the twin well as she is bitter about the life she was not able to live), Anna-Marie (holding German origins and meaning bitter grace, suiting the character due to her representation being revengeful of Azlyn and also ironic with 'grace', as she fails to have sympathy for her living twin) and Rosemary (meaning 'dew of sea' however as a compound means bitter rose again bitter due to her inability to live like her sister but also echoes the classic horror movie, 'Rosemary's Baby'). With the overall feedback, we found that Mara was most popular due to the power behind the name in echoing a bitter personality therefore reflective of the character.
For the character of the mother, my group and I chose Adrianna (originating from France, meaning Adria - the Adriatic sea region although also meaning dark which links to the idea where she is in darkness due to her daughter's early death and plagued with the unknown), Lethia (with Greek origins, meaning forgetfulness, this is appropriate for the character of Azlyn's mother due to her neglectful traits leading to the death of her child) and finally Agnes (of Greek derivation, meaning 'pure, holy' as Saint Agnes was a Roman virgin martyred by the Emperor Dicletian and as her emblem is blame, this could represent the character due to her innocence and oblivious nature being a flaw leading to her demise). Our feedback from our peers showed that Lethia was the best name out of the three due to sounding the most vulnerable and almost inferior. Other names such as Agnes sounded too powerful whereas Lethia appeared dismissive.
