Help[Opinions] Re: WDYTO Caledonia?
in reply to a message by SocioLogically
Actually, the Finch family's servant was named Calpurnia. Maybe next I should ask how BtNers like that name! I know I don't. I'm glad you like Caledonia, though.

Oh, gosh, that's right!
Sorry, it's been about five years since I've read the book. I kind of like Calpurnia, actually. You should ask about it. Thanks for the correction!

I didn't realize that's where the name Calpurnia came from, though I knew it sounded 'familiar'. There is a transgender woman (male-to-female) named Calpurnia Addams (former fn Scott) whose tragic love story with a soldier was the subject of the movie "Soldier's Girl". I don't know about IRL, but in the movie, she was often called Callie. I don't know her motivation for picking the name, but it likely was for the character from the book. Or Caesar's wife. :b
Correction: I just looked her up, and she spells it Calpernia. :-/
