Poll results: Heroes first-names

The poll for "Which Austen hero has the best first-name?" has finished! We had a total of 35 votes! 35, by memory I think that is the largest amount of votes I have on any poll...Ever :)

and the results are:
*in order of votes

1. Edmund- 10 votes (28%)

2. Fitzwilliam- 9 votes (25%)

3. Charles- 5 votes (14%)

4. George- 4 votes (11%) 

 *5. Christopher/ Frederick/ Henry - 2 votes (5%)

8. Edward - 1 vote (2%)

Congratulations Edmund!

I am particularly happy at the outcome of this poll, Edmund is quite possibly my favourite boy's name at the moment.  If you would like to know more about the name Edmund I encourage you to read this lovely post written by Miss Laurie- Name Enthusiast: Edmund

I did find the results a little strange in that Fitzwilliam came in so close (with 9 votes) but I think that is just because I don't particularly like the name.



Also I plan to do a series of these polls (concerning names of taken from Jane Austen's novels), the next one will be up within the next week which will be on the first names of the Heroines.


I hope you are all enjoying your day!

Love Mel xx

*Christopher, Frederick & Henry all tied for 5th place with 2 votes each (a total of 6 votes altogether)

Poll Results: Villains we sympathise with

A little while back I posted a series on villains we sympathise with (See Part 1, Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4), well the voting has finally closed and the results are in.

  In order of votes:

John Willoughby (Sense and Sensibility) - 22 votes (73%)

  

Guy of Gisbourne (Robin Hood BBC) - 12 votes (40%)

 

Carver Doone (Lorna Doone) - 6 votes (20%)

Henry Crawford (Mansfield Park) - 6 votes (20%)

Mr Elton (Emma) - 3 votes (10%)

Lady Catherine de Bourgh (Pride & Prejudice) - 3 votes (10%)

Mr Preston (Wives & Daughters) - 2 votes (6%)

Mr Elliot (Persuasion) - 2 votes (6%)

John Thorpe (Northanger Abbey) - 1 votes (3%)

Morris Townsend (Washington Square) - 1 votes (3%)

* voters were able to select more than one answer

I am so impressed with the results, and I am so glad that I am not the only one who sympathises with these villains (especially Willoughby and Gizzy). Thank you to everyone who voted and the next poll (along with an accompanying post) will be up very shortly.


With Much Love,

Mel xx
