Baby name story: Waverley

In April of 2015, a baby girl born to a couple in Scotland was named Odell-May Waverley — middle name taken from the historical Waverley railway, which ran from Edinburgh to Carlisle from the mid-1800s until 1969. The line was named with Sir Walter Scott’s Waverley Novels in mind.
