Names

[Jester]

No one's pregnanat that I know, but I love names, what would your child if you were to have one (or the protagonist in your first novel)?

me, boy Jasper, girl Desdemona, Delany or Apple (i really like apple)

[subterranean]

I think we have this kind of thread already. Well anyway..I would like the name Jude :)

[Jay]

Shea's thread dealt with baby names. Gimme a sec and I'll find the archaic thread :p

[Jester]

hmmm, oh well..... i got this one from reading an article about celebrity names

[Bongitybongbong]

Boregard for a boy and Dawn for a girl.

[Jester]

boregard... how come that sounds familiar?

[Bongitybongbong]

Bongitybongbong is my name and compare but I like the name.

[The_Anachronist]

oooh thats a good question....I think I'd call a little girl Raven or Scarlet...as for a boy...maybe Marshall... or I could invent my own names! :nod:

[Jester]

Raven's nice.... i like inventing my own names but sometimes thy're way to outlandish... anyone who can invent a good name is a genius in my book (that mostly includes TOlkien and a few others)

[The_Anachronist]

Raven is the name of the protagonist at my current work in progress..she lives with nunns. :nod:

[Jay]

Hinty, you can also post your works on this forum ;), translation: you can also post your works on this forum :angel:

[The_Anachronist]

Really?! Oooh I might give that a try...some response would be good...critisms are great when writing a book...I've never showed anything i've written to anyone before...my friends just aren't into creative writing...or reading...that is why I cannot wait for Uni!

[Jay]

Yeah, really, if you write poems, there's a forum part dedicated to that, I think you could post (if you chose so) what you have of the book here, in general chat part as there's not prosaic part... yet (maybe there will be in the future, Admin plans to add the feature sometime if I understood, he now has a programmer working on a members' poetry ... thingy, lol, a sec, will give you a link)
looky here for the poetry thingy:

[The_Anachronist]

Thank you! I think I'm going to start writing poetry actually...i'll see if I can find a bit of my story that I like...

Thanks Jay! When I saw this Names thread I thought I was going to have to dig that one up too. I think that was one of the first ones I ever started, it was even before I got married! I still want Cosette for a girl (a couple more years down the road), but Leo hasn't really given me much feedback on that. If he hates it, he may be waiting to change my mind when the time comes.

I still haven't really connected with a boy's name though. Don Quixote and Huckleberry Finn are my favorite male characters, but the names just don't really hit me. :rolleyes: :lol:

[Jay]

lol, Shea, NO, poor kids, NOT Don Quixote nor Huckleberry Finn, lol. Think Leo would deffinitely give feedback to those ones ;), and I don't think it'll be a positive one :p

I have not thought a lot about future children's names (if ever!), but the two main characters of a play (tragedy) I have yet to complete are Daphne and Mason; a few other characters' names: James, Phoebe, Margaret, Christopher, and Sappho.

[Psyche]

Daphne is a beautiful name...
I think that Lilly would be a great name for a girl.
If I were to have a boy, Devon or Gage.

[Jay]

Could someone transcribe Gage into pronouncination? I mean, I have no idea how should one pronouce it. Thanks :)

[Scheherazade]

Maybe like 'cage' but with a 'g' instead of 'c' in the begining?

[Jay]

Well, there are two kinds of pronouncing 'g'... like... 'Greg' g or 'gender' g... though if it's like 'cage' the first g would sound really odd 'gender' kinda g... thanks Scher :)
