Sneak Peek

I found a little inspiration a few months ago.  While visiting one of the trade shows, I saw many artists showing monogram jewelry. But it was all the same idea, a disc or oval, with the same basic lettering.  How boring! I figured I could do something a little bit different and create some monograms with character.  Here's a sneak peek at my first one, the letter "C" handmade in sterling silver.   It will look different when it's oxidized and added to a chain.
What I'm wondering is what letters to do next.  I tried to be scientific and to look up popular names but there are too many lists.  (I did find out that Moore is a more common name in Northern Ireland than Ireland.)
So I thought I would ask you for your suggestions.  Please vote in the poll on the right side or leave a comment with the letter you think I should make next. Thanks for your help!

Hmmm, all I can think of is maybe a "J" - there are many Jasmines and Jessicas, and maybe a "B" - there are so many Brittneys.

There always seem to be a lot of A's and E's - Abbie, Anne, Alison, Alexis...but maybe I'm biased haha. N seems popular too, I think I know about 10 Nicoles!

I tried voting, but it didn't seem to work. Since "I" isn't a choice, I'll pick "A". : )

That's a great initial - so unique!

Maybe check your facebook friends' list to see which first name initials are the most common there?

My vote is for a D for Debbie or B for Brass. Can't decide. lol

I am logged in, but your poll wouldn't let me vote.

Well I would pick "K" but that was not on the list! "S" would be my 2nd choice. But really shouldn't they all be "H"? hehehe
Loved the charms!!
