8) my source just says it is only a girls name (from a foreign country). although a google search of this name (the foreign spelling) pulls up some photos not permittable to be shown on the BAUT. No one famous it was named after.

Is the crater smaller than 100 kilometers in diameter?

Does the name start with one of the first 13 letters of the English alphabet?

*edit, I just realized the second part of my question really has no good answer. So we'll stick to the first part for full credit.

Is it in the northern lattitudes?

I'm not sure. I have a latitude and longitude for it but it doesn't say N or S

12) Does not start with A-M
13) ok, it is a positive lattitude and therefore North.

Just learned we use "-" to denote south.

Hint: it is in the top 1/4 of the world i.e. >45 degrees North.

Nitpick: On an approximately spherical planet, the area north of 45°N is rather less than a quarter of the total. It's about 15%.

The top 1/4 by area would be north of 30°N.

you are right of course. I was going numerically not by surface area. And technically the crater is still in the top 1/4 of the world.
