Flawless wording, Edna.
(Thanks to my "help write the book" tier for naming our sweet old lady! Technically "Cheryl" is more her age range, but let's just assume she was named after a very nice old great-aunt.)

I can't decide if Jesto is a roguish bounty hunter or the comedic sidekick in the next Star Wars property.

That was such a Thing for people back then! I didn't find out til their funerals that my grandparents' real names weren't what they went by (and my grandfather was named Jesto! WHO GIVES UP A NAME LIKE THAT??).

Actually, my mom (who is 78) is named Edna. Granted, she hates the name and has gone by her middle name since ... forever.

Maybe she was named for Edna Edison!
According to the baby name wizard, she looks like she falls right between your Ednas and your Cheryls: https://www.babynamewizard.com/voyager#prefix=edna&sw=both&exact=false https://www.babynamewizard.com/voyager#prefix=edna&sw=both&exact=false But Edna was very good to that family, I can tell.
RIP Paul, lol

And that's the story behind Ghost of Paul , the spirit who's haunted this thrift store since all the way back in the 2020's.

I think a tribute name is the perfect solution. 😀

Idk, names come in waves, except Tiffany, Tiffany is forever. (If you didn't know look up the Tiffany Problem) But good, Paul has a real challenge now.

Or she could just be someone from the past. :)
