We spend about 4 months on the island and had a chance to explore this unique place in Australia !
Kangaroo Island or “K.I” as the locals like to call it, located off the coast of South Australia, is one of the country’s most captivating natural treasures. With its pristine beaches, rugged coastline, and unique wildlife, it’s no surprise that this island has become a must-visit destination for both locals and tourists from all around the world.

Hello one and all and welcome to the The Duchess Affair name post. This is a list of period-accurate given names you can give your MC if you need some inspiration or want to know what kinds of names ladies had back then. I've combed through the 1809 edition of Debrett's Peerage for names of noblewomen in the 1600s and 1700s in Britain, which is where I'm taking the liberty of assuming TDA is set.
As always, you can drop any questions in my inbox, I love love love playing reference librarian :-)
Most names in this period either came from the Bible or from literature. The Bible was the most common book owned and read, so Biblical names were frequently seen. Some nobles liked to show off how cultured and educated they were by naming their children after mythological figures or characters from poetry and history, but most people of all classes named children after ancestors or loved ones (which explains why it seems like it was the same dozen names getting passed around again and again.)
Very common names -- the majority of women back then had one of these names:
Anne
Caroline
Catharine (not a typo – this was the standard spelling in the 1700s!)
Charlotte
Diana
Elizabeth
Frances
Georgiana
Henrietta
Isabella
Jane
Louisa
Margaret
Maria (pronounced like “Mariah”)
Martha
Mary
Sarah
Sophia

I haven't read rmb but is that the one with oral in the carriage from your list?
Ha, no. Colin one-tit Bridgerton just sucked on one tit (the phrase "scandalous tickle of his tongue" was employed 💀) and there was some vague dry-humping.
No my friend, the carriage oral refers to King aka Aloysius Archibald Barnaby Kingscote. Marquess of Eversley. He goes down on Sophie in the carriage in the regency road-trip romance The Rogue Not Taken by Sarah MacLean. It's very hot. Very fun.
Two side-by-side, very stylish 3-storey townhouses in the heart of Kingscote, with stunning ocean views, opposite the park and just a short stroll to shops, cafes etc. Sleeping 6-10 in each townhouse (3 bedroom, 2 bathrooms each), they can be let individually, or combine both for privacy and convenience when travelling with a larger group, or another family. The gorgeous top-level master suites are simply divine! Right alongside Terraces Two, this 3-storey townhouses also has stunning ocean views. 2 huge bedrooms (king and split-king) and beautiful new high-end bathrooms, this is a fabulous option for two couples travelling together. For bookings from October 2023.
