Eustacia and Dinah
Eustacia "Stacy" and Dinah are twins in a book I'm reading. Dinah was named after a cat in a book, and Eustacia after another character in a book. WDYT?

Love Dinah, and it reminds me of the cat in Alice in Wonderland. Eustasia makes me think of eustachian tubes and ear anatomy.

They're both very pretty. I knew a Dinah who pronounced it like DEE-nah, but I like either pronunciation. I'm partial to all Eu- names for whatever reason, so Eustacia is great in my book. :D

I love love love Dinah (though oddly, I really don't like Dina), and Eustacia is ok. I prefer Eulalia.

Dinah is the cat in Alice in Wonderland. The names are NMS.
