Anyone have a good name for Giles' mother. I have Faith's PoV and she thinks of Giles as, well, Giles. It's sort of odd, in that context, referring to his mother as Mrs. Giles.

Class was a fairly big deal in names back in the twenties. Certain names - flower names like Rose, for example, were considered lower class then. Daisy is another mostly working class example. (Princess Margaret was Margaret Rose, but few of her own class copied that. ( I'm assuming that the Ripper phase was Giles fighting back against the stifling class background broadly similar to Wesley's.

I have read one heck of a lot of fiction about kids in theory born around then. It's very clear.
