[> [> Jayn I never thought of that. I really hope we get to see those kinds of moments with Frank. I think Amanda's name is lovely too. -- LisaW, 08:30:54 06/02/12 Sat

[> Why wasn't Brianna's name given, just "his lady"? That would make it more difficult for Frank. -- Kathy in PA, 06:26:55 06/02/12 Sat

[> I'm curious why Fraser wasn't in this string of names. Usually the mother's surname is second to the last (as in "Jeremiah Alexander Ian Fraser MacKenzie" or "James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser." -- LizT, 06:57:58 06/02/12 Sat

[> [> But those are boys' names? Girls' names might have different rules--what is Jenny's full name? -- dawnsfire, 16:49:28 06/02/12 Sat

[> Ah, but Briana wasn't a Fraser in name. It would have been Amanda Claire Hope Randall MacKenzie. -- Dede, 09:25:55 06/02/12 Sat

[> [> I'm fairly certain she took Jamie's last name as her own when she sailed and kept it once she was on Fraser's ridge. No one there knew Claire as a Randall. It would have led to questions about where the name Randall had come from. -- CathyS, 13:16:43 06/02/12 Sat
