Re: "Victorian Gothic" pseudonym for a heroine (and her "very normal" real name)

Rebecca was a thought I had, with the nickname Becky. Hannah is also a good name for her. And I might like Bethany better than Elizabeth (though it might imply that her birth family was Catholic, and I'm unsure if that's a background I want to choose for her).Magdalena is an interesting choice for the pseudonym! It's a different genre (Biblical) than most other suggestions, which I think would imply a more honest nature. Hmmm...***Please rate my personal name lists:www.behindthename.com/pnl/69381

Modern use of "Bethany" is far more varied, but historically it was a Catholic name (it's noted in the name's history on this site). I actually think it's why Kevin Smith chose the name for the main character in Dogma.
