I've come across people called Mice in transcriptions who on closer inspection turn out to be Alice. Can't suggest an alternative for the other unusual ones in this batch though!

I think the wife is Dapline and the baby girl is Mia . " Haden" should  definitely be  Hadan.  What a bad transcription as the original is fairly clear  ::)

Edit I hope the transcription isn't Maidmarianoops', I assumed it was on one of the sites - phew, just checked and I haven't been rude to Maidmarianoops  :D
