I'll be making one of these for Apollo as well, when I find options that I like.
So! Appette's name has to change -- I think I've made that abundantly clear. I know I tried to use it as a nickname, but that idea just didn't sit right with me. I did a little research on BehindTheName, and I've come up with three options that are both similar-sounding to her original name, and could easily fit into her story.
Annette -- I know Flo has a minor character with this name already, but it was honestly the first one that came to mind when I was thinking of soundalikes. It's also a name that could very easily be cut-and-pasted into her current story, with no significant changes.
Apolline -- A name French in origin, this one actually offers a new story. I'm still not certain yet as to what I'm going to do with her living situation. The options I've come up with include having her live with a French family in France, a French or half-French (French-Irish most likely) family in England, or perhaps even have her live in France at first and then cross the Channel by train. (If going by series-verse, the Channel idea is perfectly plausible.)
Odette -- A departure from the A-names! And one I think could be cute, especially if I worked in its attachment to Swan Lake. Much like Annette, it was chosen for the similar sound and its ability to easily be worked into her current story without major alteration.
Let me know what you guys think! Which one do you like the best?
