I don't recall seeing her so far, so, in case she should come in handy:

In re: ???

The Dr. often uses names that sound like words in the mailings. This is just a suggestion for a new one, along the lines of "Maud Lynne Dresser."

Ray Skane?

Postby Dr. Goodword » Tue Jul 22, 2008 11:06 pm

GairR,

She knows Ray Scane, did you say. I went to high school with Ray.

Gladys Heck is a good one. Could I get away with Gladys Hecht? They are best when given name and surname are common names.

Somehow, I feel the extra t might not work here. Oh, well.

Here's another one; that oddly unsuccessful car dealer Selina Lemon.

Thanks for the names

They are on the list. I'll have to think about Selina Lemon since I want to put the accent on the middle syllable. I think that is the name of Delores Claiborne's daughter in the movie by the same name.
