"Dovie"?

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know if it's due to the time period or the region or just the author's quirks, but Montgomery's minor characters regularly have very unusual names that aren't very common anymore.

[(Anonymous)]

The Anne of Green Gables series starts in 1876 and is set on Prince Edward Island, Canada.

[greghousesgf]

so is that a common name there?

[(Anonymous)]

Not common, but more popular, at the time, and PEI had a lot Celtic and English immigrants and the name is of English origin. Also, there were some immigrants to the US and Canada with the surname Dovie and sometimes people would use a family name (like a mother's maiden name) as a given name.

[greghousesgf]

I'll take your word for it, I've never been to PEI.

[tree_and_leaf]

ISTR there's a character called Dovie in one of Lousia May Allcott's books (possibly Eight Cousins?).

Names drop in and out of fashion.

[(Anonymous)]

Wasn't Dovie the weedy girl who eventually defied her terrifying father to marry Jarvis Morrow? What was so sociopathic about her?

[(Anonymous)]

That was another Dovie. Dovie Johnson is a little girl who visited the Glen while on vacation and she tells Nan that she was switched at birth with another little girl, as a "joke". And for this secret, she extorts a new red parasol from Nan.

[(Anonymous)]

They're talking about the other Dovie, the one from Anne of Ingleside who lied to Nan about her "really" being the child of the local alcoholic who was switched at birth with Anne and Gilbert's "real" daughter, purely for the lulz

I’m a little confused. The latest? Do you mean the last? If so, I don’t agree, because I loved Rilla of Ingleside, but I agree that it’s better than Anne of Ingleside, which is probably my least favorite book of the series.
