HelpI need to learn to explain myself more thoroughly. >< (m)

Denver is the daughter of Sethe, the main character in Toni Morrison's novel Beloved. She was named for Amy Denver, the whitegirl who helped deliver her. Amy Denver isn't the greatest of characters (while she's vaguely sympathetic towards Sethe, she doesn't offer to even help her walk, despite the fact that Sethe is in labor, badly whipped, and has painfully torn up feet), which is why it seems like it'd be vaguely awkward.
Denver is my favourite character in the book--while she starts out behaving like she's nine rather than eighteen, she grows and changes immensely and becomes quite strong at the end.
I doubt I'd ever use the name Denver--this is very much a theoretical question, hehe--but I like the name and its literary connotations.

A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.
You might even provide a Heaven for them. We need You for that. Hell we can make for ourselves.
