[Opinions] Re: Name for a character
Thomasina or Thomasin would be more likely for a girl in that place and time, but frankly, even those aren't especially believable. More likely she'd be Mary, Elizabeth, Anne, Martha or Sarah, or possibly a virtue name like Charity or Patience.Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!
