My FMC has a (FEMALE) faithful, bubbly maid/do-everything servant who lives with her. Any name ideas?

I think some popular/common women's names of that era were:

Mary
Peggy
Nancy
Jane
Anne
Polly

Biblical names were common and also virtues, like Honour, Faith, Grace. Shakespeare’s also a good source of names, though some of them were more unusual than others.
