Pop Culture Heroines

Looking for character names – this one is just not right?

I am currently working on a fiction piece set in England around the beginning of the 19th century. The heroine is nineteen, and her sister is twenty-two. The older girl is well-mannered but impatient and fairly unlikable, as she is very hard to please. Her younger sister is a generally happy and agreeable girl, and considerably more intelligent than her older sister. Both are attractive young women.
I’ve been calling them Harriet (for the older girl) and Margaret (for the younger girl) but they seem totally wrong.
Can anyone help me re-name them, please?
Please keep in mind the setting — I can’t have names like Ashley or Stephanie, for instance.
Thank you in advance.

I Agree- Rose and Abigail. Abigail should be the older though, Rose the younger.

The Lost Symbol Book + Angels vs. Demons: Fact or Fiction DVD Set $43.99 Buy the Lost Symbol Book and Angels vs. Demons: Fact or Fiction DVD together and save! The Lost Symbol Book: The Lost Symbol begins with an ancient ritual, a shadowy enclave, and of course, a secret. Readers know they are in Dan Brown territory when, by the end of the first chapter, a secret within a secret is revealed. To tell too much would ruin the fun of reading this delicious thriller, so you will find no spoilers here. Suffice it to say that as with many series featuring a recurring character, there is a bit of a formula at work (one that fans will love). Again, brilliant Harvard professor Robert Langdon finds himself in a predicament that requires his vast knowledge of symbology and superior problem-solving skills to save the day. The setting, unlike other Robert Langdon novels, is stateside, and in Brown’s hands Washington D.C. is as fascinating as Paris or Vatican City (note to the D.C. tourism board: get your “Lost Symbol” tour in order). And, as with other Dan Brown books, the pace is relentless, the revelations many, and there is an endless parade of intriguing factoids that will make you feel like you are spending the afternoon with Robert Langdon and the guys from Mythbusters.
