A Naming Poll

msstacy13 has posted a poll to rename one of the characters from a project.  Please take a moment to cast your vote.  Here's a brief description...

It's tentatively titled A Citizen of London; It began as a 10,000 story about the V2, but now looks as if it will 350,000 words before it's done. The premise? In April of 1940, with war spreading to Norway, The Omaha World Herald sends a woman reporter to England as a war correspondent. She arrives in the midst of the Dunkirk evacution, and meets a driver of the Women's Transport Corps. The two soon become become quite close.

I'd originally called that driver Eleanor Bracken, but have realized that there could be some confusion with Brendan Bracken, an associate of Churchill's. So I googled historical census information about Shoreditch, which is the area of greater London this character is from, and picked out thirty surnames beginning with B.

I've narrowed it down to eight names.
Now I'm asking that people choose the one they like best.
