My Toffee was because she was MacIntosh Toffee (candy) colored when she was little.....not too original! Mr. Darcy came by his name because when I brought him home I was trying to think of who I considered to be the epitomy of the 'perfect man'!!! Colin Firth in Pride and Prejudice came to mind - I have the DVD and have that movie on when I am doing my housework- to help me get through THAT chore!! Then when I wanted a little girl to keep him company - I naturally chose Lizzie (Miss Elizabeth Bennet!). So that's that!!
