I forgot to be real specific - I have been a sucker for any name that matches the pattern "A[a-z]+na" - for non-programmers that's A followed by one or more characters of a to z and ending with "na" - so Anna is a perfect fit but then based on Emily's other email Emilina is just her creation and not a real person?
