Writing Adolescent Fiction/Character names/Southern girls' names
Usage note
[edit | edit source]Class is still evident in many parts of the Southern United States, and names can tell background and education. Patrician families will often give their children family names as a first name, and/or use classical names that have a very antebellum feel. Working class families often give two-part names like Bobbi Jo.
