Why did Alice want to name her daughter Hagar in Kindred?

Alice names her baby Hagar because, in the Bible, Hagar was a slave and
was freed.

Dana knows that she has a relative named Hagar, so
she is aware that Alice is going to name the baby that before shes even conceived.  In fact,
Dana actively awaits Hagars arrival through most of the book.


Rufus said it was the ugliest name he had ever heard, but it was Alices choice, and he
let it stand....
