He could've said, "Amara!" causing her to look up and say, "Daddy!" When I researched my family tree there is a family that used the named "Lancelot" alot during the 1700's and the 1800's so Amara may be used by her family.

I also have Thomasina's and Eliza's so not every family stuck to traditional names. Traditional names are kept for first borns such as the first born son would always have his father's name and the first born daughter would have her mother's name or a grandmother's name.

Alice's daugther could easily be called Alice (which is more likely for the time period as the first born daughter) or she could be named after Alice's mother or Amara
