Can you give me (and your followers) some random regency names for fics? Such as Lady Georgiana Conroy, etc etc because I've noticed some silly repetitions of Janes and Elizabeth's... and strangely enough all of the surnames are Fairfax 🤔 would be very nice of you.

You wanna know my Secret Surname/Title Trick?

Google maps, bro.

Zoom in to some random-ass corner of Britain if it appeals to you and grab some place-names. Maybe mix and match some beginnings and endings and see if you like how they sound. Bear in mind the changes that can be made to spellings, swapping out Ys for some vowels or adding Es to the end. I once wrote a fic where I wasn’t impressed by a Lord Cunningham, but Lord Conyngeham made me laugh as he should. Titles are often tied into place names, so anything ending in -ton, -ville, -ley/-leigh, etc. works well.

Surname/title ideas I’ve used:

Abberley, Romsey, Kincaide, Besswell, Meredith, Armstrong, Beckett, Osbourne, Knox, Bolton, Brydges, Roydon, Shaw, Ebbsgate, Oughterridge, Sothersby, Hawksley, Northcott, Selkirke, Devereux (French influence on English surnames could signify an old Norman ancestor, perhaps, as we might infer from names like Darcy.) And there’s nothing wrong with being common! Litter your fics with Greys and Greens and Browns and Whites and Smiths and Taylors and Bakers and Fletchers and all the old occupational surnames. (Though these would be unlikely to be found among the higher echelons of old genteel and aristocratic society.)

For given names, there are the standard old ‘English’ names, but bearing in mind the mania for all things neo-classical, Greek and Latin-based names became very popular for girls at the time, too. Also consider if the family has any foreign influences or special interests which might prompt a more unusual name! I’ve put more common nicknames and shorter variations in brackets after some names.

Catherine (Kate, Katie, Cathy, Kitty,) Elizabeth (Lizzy, Eliza, Beth, Betty, Bess,) Jane (Jenny, Janet,) Mary (Molly, Polly,) Frances (Fanny,) Harriet (Hetty,) Theresa (Tess,) Maud, Ruth, Lucille/Lucilla (Lucy,) Sophie/Sophia, Sarah (Sally,) Louise/Louisa, Georgina/Georgiana, Antonia, Theodosia, Anne, Lydia, Rebecca, Edwina, Cora, Frederica, Alice, Rosanna, Aurelia, Julia/Juliana, Eleanor/Elinor (Nora,) Helen/Ellen (Nelly), Stella, Charlotte/Caroline (Lottie, Caro,) Margaret, Philippa (Pippa.)

Robert, Laurence, Theodore, Walter, Dominic, Stephen, James, Taliesin, Victor, Edward, Francis (Frank), John (Jack,) William, Henry, Charles, Martin, Timothy, Thomas, Edgar, Gilbert, Jasper, Elliot, Joseph, George, Nicholas, Anthony, Howard, Evelyn, Ivor, Alexander, Everett, Frederick, Arthur, Peregrine, Felix, Aldous, Paul, Phillip, Edmund, Owen, Richard (*note that Austen was consistently ripping on dudes named Richard in her writing, including going so far as to make a “Dick” joke about a jerk who bore the name.)

I used to rely heavily on the Regency name generator on the now-defunct website Stuff and Nonsense, but someone has saved it here. Several of the resulting name combos can come out a bit ridiculous in the line of Georgette Heyer novels, which don’t always feel realistic to me, but might be good for more comedic characters. And sometimes people do have ridiculous names.

Kevin Can Wait Fans Are Furious Over The 'Savage AF' Way Wife Donna's Death Was Addressed!

After it was revealed Kevin James' CBS show Kevin Can Wait would be "tastefully" killing off lead actress Erinn Hayes to make room for Leah Remini, fans finally got to see just how it went down on the season two premiere on Monday.

And it turns out Donna Gable's death wasn't as dignified as execs made it sound!

Related: Leah Pressured To Recruit Kevin Into Scientology

All viewers saw was a short scene with Kevin's on-screen daughter, Kendra (Taylor Spreitler), responding to a postcard in the mail from Donna's gym:

"Give me that, I will call them right now. It's been over a year since she died, they shouldn't still be sending this."

That was basically it. No explanation of how the show's leading lady passed.

So, it's not hard to see why fans of Kevin Can Wait were pissed!! See their frustrated reactions (below):

So they killed the wife/mom on #KevinCanWait ??? Wow! And they addressed @hayeslady departure in 2 lines. So disrespectful and savage af. http://pic.twitter.com/by0e9ojyLF — Kelena Sothersby (@Tua_motu) September 26, 2017

#KevinCanWait "She died over a year ago." Lazy writing. Uncreative way to jump on this season's remake bandwagon. #weaktea — Alyce Weikel (@AlyceWeikel) September 26, 2017

Miss you @hayeslady! "She died over a year ago" That was lame af. @KevinCanWaitCBS #KevinCanWait http://pic.twitter.com/nUnUOfiw1B — Sylvia McCorkle M.S. (@mrsssmac) September 26, 2017

Wow they just kill her of like it’s nothing #KevinCanWait http://pic.twitter.com/vwvdPzTIFj — Eli Falcon (@EliJfalcon) September 26, 2017

So disappointed with #KevinCanWait. I'll just watch reruns of #kingofqueens guys if I wanted this — Kaley Green (@KaleyG0408) September 26, 2017

I guess Kevin couldn't wait @KevinCanWaitCBS lol https://t.co/53TzG0vuSc — No name (@LosCauzKC) September 26, 2017

Not cool at all. Donna made the show. Will no longer watch. #KevinCanWait — Cindy Lizak (@CindyLizak) September 26, 2017

Nope. @hayeslady deserved much more respect than the one line it took to erase her from #KevinCanWait — Dread Pirate Roberts (@kaciedilla) September 26, 2017

Never watching #kevincanwait again. Killing off your wife and mother of your children isn't really that funny. Erinn Hayes was hilarious. — Jack Wunschel (@drummerjack) September 26, 2017

It's probably too late for Kevin to make it up, so Leah's addition is really going to have to win fans over to come back from this.
