I will post the covers later

A good attempt Juana, some of those names are tough to find! Will you be trying again next year?

You don't actually need to post your covers if you don't want to. We only ask you to do that when the challenge task relates to your book cover (like reading a book with a yellow cover etc). You can if you want, but if you haven't got time, don't worry about it :)

I'm finished! Found 79 names - it is much harder than I thought. Original post #35. Thanks for the challenge!

That's good going Sam!

Good try AndaM. This is a hard challenge :)

So close Sharon!! Good try :)

So close, Sharon. I discovered that the girls' names are much harder than the boys' names to find.

People seem to be more creative when it comes to naming girls, so there's more variety I think.
