X post re: Mallory!

The Secret Seven were:

Peter, Janet, Jack, Colin, Pam, Barbara, George (and Scamper!) but not sure any of these really fit the bill - quite 1960s - ex. Jack and George.

I like Elizabeth. Betty is lovely but you could also have Bets, Beth, Lizzie, Eliza or Liza. There's scope for her to decide what she prefers when she gets older.
