I have to admit, I have taken an odd liking to the name Clover. I know, I know. I'd never use it on an actual person, though. Maybe a cat or something. I also like Melody, though.. As for Norman Hill, I think Ann probably wanted something that could be turned into a mean nickname / be made fun of. How she came up with it, and in turn came up with Enormous Hill (heh!), I have no idea. Inge, Logan's sister is Kerry in the US books.

I knew a girl in high school with that name - except it was spelt Marni. Always seemed weird to me, like it should've been a nickname or something. But it wasn't.
I didn't mind Melody too much, but total word on Bill Korman. Ha, sounds about 70 yrs old.
Ugh, yet another example of giving the fat boy a "fat" name. That's a trend in so many books!
Daffodil is terrible, but like hitzpink, I'm somewhat partial to Clover. Would never dream of naming a child that, but it works for a dog, cat, rabbit etc.

Yeah, Daffodil was my main problem. I kept thinking if they called her Daffy for short...cause that's just cruel.

Quack quack! Heh... I totally never got that connection. I didn't actually mind Daffodil as a name. They were about as normal as Sunshine Daydream... Sunshine Daydream sounds like a name that a terribly writer would give to a Mary Sue sort of a character.

Cloud? Isn't that a guy's name? I knew of a girl who was named Princess. And, yes, she was fat.

I guess Sunshine Daydream is kind of similar to Soleil Moon Frye (Punky Brewster). At least that's what it always makes me think of.

Hmm . . . I always wondered why Dawn's dad's nickname for her is the same as Sunny's name. Maybe Ann thought that it was a popular name to call girls in California?

^ I think the Sunshine thing was supposed to be the big coincidence. Dawn's dad referred to her as Sunshine since she was a baby and then she met a kid who was literally named Sunshine. Why, I have no idea ;D

I know a Princess also.
My favorite name: greer carson. i chose it for my online alias because it's so old movie starish (greer garson) and she was so stylish!
A bsc character also has my given name, and I always appreciated it, because I was one of those kids who had a hard time finding pencils and things with my name on it.
Logan Bruno: dumb name.

It just makes him sound like a neanderthal or something, like Brock. I never liked Thomas. It is just too common of a name.

I like Logan's name! I think it's kind of soap opera-ish and works well with how good looking he's supposed to be.
I kind of like Sunny's name, too :/ I think Sunny is a really cute nickname.
