Name this character for my D&D game (the wealthy widow)
I have used a few DU names in my ongoing D&D (Dungeons & Dragons) campaign – with permission, of course. In the beginning, DUer Orsino was a merchant who hired the players to find his missing daughter. Unfortunately, they have not been able to find his daughter, but they did meet Orsino's other daughter and both daughters will play huge roles down the road in the campaign.

And, later on, DUer Chovexani has starred as a recurring ass-kicking drow villainess in game, and will be making another appearance again.

DUer Dark Tirade also came up with my unicorn named Dawn Strider.

Since I have done fairly well with coming to DU for names, I thought I would go to the well another time.

This is for a female character, the wealthy widow of a recently deceased merchant.

Any suggestions? The name should be somewhat appropriate for the middle ages era, and I only need a first name. She is not evil.

However, I did use a few other names in my list of random female names for the people of the city.
