Harvey is an example of an alphabetical name, given to....?

(Not an invisible rabbit, as was my first thought!)

Hi Chrise

I started late today and was relieved to find it an easy one, but I still have one left, which is 18ac. I'm afraid I didn't understand your hint to Hywel. Can you explain a bit more. I have nephew called Harvey, but that's no help.

I have E?R?I?A?E?

Your 1st E is wrong ... should be H ...clue could have said Katrina or Matthew or Irma instead of Harvey.... any of those names are the definition

Been on hollbags so catching up. Completed but do not understand 11ac......

Lad's fancy in spring turns to thoughts of love (5, 3)

The definition is lad but the rest confuses simple me!

It alludes to a quotation from this:

Actually, it's quite a long poem! This is the line:
In the Spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.
