You remembered DATES in your dream? That's wild.Kilburn is a fantastic surname, very malevolent and dramatic.
I adore the name choices - they're very solid and dignified, especially the surnames! I wonder, though, have you got inspiration from St. Francis Xavier's name for the first character in your dream?
oh definitely!
That's some good name inspiration. I'd read the novel.
