The swan family is reunited [Louisa Green]

• PLEASE can we give a suitable name to the Heath swan you call The Widow, (Swan hurt in dog attack is reunited with family on Hampstead Heath, August 4).

Too often women are described by their role not by name. I suggest Winifred as a suitable name for Wallace’s mate. What do others think?
