ChallengeAZ 2016: I for Isabelle

cadreI was a bit disappointed when I realized I had no picture of Isabelle Tourville. And then I remembered that I had seen a picture of her in Hanover, New Hampshire, a book of the Images of America series—a collection that I just love. These books feature photos telling the story of little towns or neighborhoods across the United States. I cannot post her picture, but same can be viewed by clicking on the book link here. By the way, have you ever typed your surname in Google Books? If not, you should as you may be in for a nice surprise!


Statistics

Letter I: Less than 2% for the Hubou-Tourvilles’ first names.

Isabelle of course, but a lot of Ida in the States and a few Isidore and Israel in Quebec.


Kind of Funny

Another novel’s character: Ivanohe!
