Excellent! Well constructed - loved the crossovers. Well done :):)

would help if spellings were correct,attol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

attol? and it is not a coastal feature, it is an atoll. Girls names, clutching at staws on that one.

A potentially good grid let down by the 'names' category. Just about anything can be a name, so it's not really a legitimate group or interesting challenge. Putting it another way, it defeats the point of the overlaps feature that make Puzz Grids so much fun. About 3/4 of the terms in this grid _could_ be a name.

and I categorised "girls' names" (correctly with apostrophe) and it was rejected

Yeah, let down by the category names, as well as the names category.

Excellent grid.

I thought the were well chosen as red herrings , along with the Mayo they gave three Irish counties. The criticism is misguided.
