Naming (Characters, Settings, etc.) - October

[Krys]

I just faced a name problem in my novel, Fallen.... I can't decide if I should spell my villians name as Arrow of Aero?

[Niki]

Arrow. Aero makes me think of the preppy store.

I think Arrow is better too but it almost seems kind of boring... I'm curiouse though, how does Aero remind you of a preppy store?

[Niki]

Aeropostale.

Oooh... Interesting.

How is Aeropostale preppy? I've shopped there and it's not preppy. It's casual.

[Acacia]

I think I own clothes from Aeropostale. Or at least my mom did, and those clothes somehow miraculously wandered into my closet. I don't think it's preppy.

Thank you. I don't think it's preppy either. DOWN HOLLY DOWN.

[Fwit]

Aero's kewler hahaha

[Niki]

All the popular girls at my school wear aero.

Ah, I see.

[Sella]

Your school actually has "popular" girls? Hm. My school doesn't.

Just because the popular girls wear it doesn't make it preppy. If a nerd wore abercrombie, it doesn't make abercrombie nerdy.

Well, in my school, abercrombie and aeropostale and whatnot are preppy clothes. Everyone else wears sweatshirts and jeans.

[Fwit]

every1 at my school wears aero or abercrombie or hollister.
and every girl wears uggs.
it's weird
they're all like hecka rich and our pride is in our cheer team
but every1's heckaa smart...

[Acacia]

I can't keep track of fashion in my school, nor do I care to. My closet is a mix of clothes I've had the last 2 years and my mom's clothes that my grandma thought were mine and I didn't correct her about.

What kind of school do you go to? It sounds like those stereotype ones in the movies. Lol.

At my school, everyone wears whatever the hell they want and nobody cares or classifies them as something. I wear whatever clothes are in my closet, which are mostly bright crazy neon stuff from Pacsun and whatnot. A lot from Target, too. Target has neon stuff sometimes.

i agree.

[Allie]

my school is too big to actually really have popular ppl now... you don't really know very many people at all. but i live in a rich area, even tho i'm not... juicy and other designer stuff are what the really popular ppl last year wore, but other ppl did too. i like pacsun and hollister if i can find stuff on sale.

[Sella]

My school has 1,600 people and there are no stereotypical popular people. Sure, there are some people who are known by a lot of people because they're really involved in activities, but it's nothing like the movies.

Ooh, and I love Pacsun. My favorite store. I love neon stuff. I've got, like, five different colored neon jeans, and about twenty neon shirts from there. XD

[Niki]

My school is very similar to the bordering-on-horror movies...

[Kim]

do you guys have to wear a uniform cuz i do.

[Acacia]

I don't have to wear a uniform. ;D

Wait, speaking of school, shouldn't you be there right now?

[Kim]

what me? or holly?

[Acacia]

Kim wrote: "what me? or holly?"

Holly.

[Brigid ✩, No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader.]

My school's more similar to Holly's. Preppy kids wear Aeropostale. :P
It might be a regional thing .....

[Annemarie, hi]

In our school there are popular kids in freshmen year, after that, there isnt really "popular" people. Sure, there are snobby people but know one really likes them anyway. I guess I hang out with the artsy music types plus pretty much everyone. A lot of my friends are older than me...

Our school dosent have uniforms only a really strict dress code which no one follows :P


Oh, and I think it is a regional thing, preppy kids at my school where Aeropostale.

I was. It was during Journalism. I decided that Goodreads was more important than writing an article about fundraising.

[Acacia]

I approve of your decision.

[Niki]

Good to know.

[Stephanie]

haha

[Annemarie, hi]

At out school most of the websites are blocked, even goodreads so mostly all you can do is the stuff you are supposed to do.

[Acacia]

Yeah, Goodreads is blocked at our school too.

Ahem...not that I tried...

[Stephanie]

haha, that's awsome guys real awsome. poking around in the internet while you're supposed to be doing somehting else at school. haha

* shakes head*

[Acacia]

Psh. How important is this 'school' anyway?

[Niki]

All the other websites are blocked, but not Goodreads. And, Miss Stephanie, I got my work done too. SO THERE!

[Acacia]

Our school blocked it on the grounds that it is a "social networking site".

I'm not sure that my school knows about it.

[Stephanie]

Haha, I'm just teasing guys. good job. you're supposed to get your school done, Holly.

And, Acacia, school is very important.

I know. I was being sarcastic. ;)

Last year, our school had huge problems with kids bypassing the firewalls and using gaming sites, so they pretty much blocked everything that isn't 100% educational.

[Annemarie, hi]

Same here execpt it was gaming, it was other much worse stuff.

[Acacia]

Ah. I see.

[Krys]

Alrighty then... I'm having some difficulties desciding what name I should use for what I call "Noble Cities" In my book, Fallen. Their are only three, and so far I have the name's Akeablis, Xrean, and Aderiska . How do those sound?

Ditto. All chat sites have been blocked.

Okay, thanks :) I was just wondering if they sounded weird or something like that.
