Mary & Frank

Dora & Lewis

I only ever met Dora, in fact she was the only one surviving when my parents got together.

I'd like to use the name Dora for a girl but worry about the "Explorer" connection.

Lewis I much prefer to Louis for a boy, but prefer Frances (girl) to Frank/Francis (boy)

Mary's sister was Auntie Lily (Who I did meet - in fact she lived with us when I was a child). I'd definately use the name Lilian (nn Lily) too.
