I like Lucy.    
                                                                                    Charlie Brown’s friend, is it?

They’re not friends,
But anyway. It’s short
like Jack and Sam’s.


                                                                                        Biff is short.  We’re not naming her
                                                                                        Biff.


Aoife?
It’s Irish like you
and smooth like Kerrygold.
                                
                                                                                            “Ee-fah”?

                                                                                             That’s a life sentence,
                                                                                             not a name. No one can say Aoife.  


Amelia is…

                                                                                               ...the air hostess?

The pilot, you dolt!    
A strong namesake.


                                                                                                   A Doctor Who companion, really.
                                                                                                   What else is on that list?

Charlotte.

                                                                                                       C-h-a-r-l-o-t-t-e ?

Yeah. Charlotte.
Jack, Sam, and Charlotte.




Well?


                                                                                                             Charlotte.
