    I matched up 10 correctly. Do I get a half point for matching Sookie with Sarah?

    Molly or Mollie for Mary is also common.

    Just goes to show that I too have an obcession with names and write too much historical fiction - 16/16!

    Quite a few of the short names were, I think, interchangeable, ie, some of the short names for Mary (like Molly, Polly) could have been used for Margaret (which had similar short names like Meggy and Peggy).

    I actually did better than I though I would have; 14 of 16 (I got Margaret and Mary reversed). This was a fun quiz to take!
