You're very welcome. (That is one of the best combos there; great choice!)

[Elliott]

I adore it. *skips around singing Shawn Anderson, ladida, SHAWNY ANDERSON TRALALALA* I literally just made up a tune for this. The second part is louder than the first if you couldn't tell by the capital letters. I'm sorta tiiiired.

[Ky]

Hehe. Glad to be of assistance, darlin'. I'm working on a list for Merrilee now. :)

I love your song, btdubbs.

[Elliott]

Yay! I shall get that list in the morning most likely since I'm really tired and if I don't sleep right now I may pass out. *tackles*

Alrighty! Sleep well Lav! *huggles after being tackled*

Heh. I totally did not go to sleep. I just went and did laundry and now I'm back. Hmmm. *reads list* I'm not quite sure. There isn't a particular one jumping out at me.

[Elliott]

I'll just think on it for a while. I'm sure something will come. But thank you so much.

[Ingrid]

My Aunt and Uncle have the surname Knox.
And one of my favorite author's surname is Hale.

[Elliott]

Shannon Hale? <3

[Ingrid]

Indeed.
She is amazing!
I love her books.

[Elliott]

DASHAW. Her name shall be Merrilee Dashaw.

[Elliott]

Maybe. *indecisiveness*

[Maria [the clockwork creeps on useless lives], Butts butts]

Ooh, me gusta.

[Ingrid]

That is one good name.
It makes me want to read the book.

[Elliott]

Merrilee Dashaw it shall be!

Ooh, Maria, I learned what "me gusta" means today from my new friend Kyler.

[Ingrid]

While we are talking about names and character names, I would like to pose a question.
I'm trying to think of a good alias. Any ideas?

You didn't know that before today?XD I guess I have been speaking gibberish to you all too often.

I want to hear about this kid.

[Elliott]

Way-chan: A good alias? As in, for yourself on GR?

Maria: Yeaaaah... sometimes when I don't understand something, I just nod and smile or ignore it. xD

So basically I was on Facebook and I commented on something my good friend Maddy posted and then he commented and then we ended up having a mini conversation so then he added me as a friend so then we were chatting in the inbox and apparently he's into all this awesome obscure music and he's just a really cool person.

[Ingrid]

As in, for my friend and I to use. Our names are simply too long to write on our made up book covers. They look bad. So, we've decided to come up with different alias ideas.

Ah! I did that. :D Hmmm....I'm thinking for you.

My alias/pseudonym is K.C. Graham. :)

[Elliott]

Oh, that's cool! Hmmm. I'm not sure. Braindead.

Nice!
I'm thinking something along the lines of Caleigh MacMahon, or Aileen Caffrey.
I haven't heard from my friend yet though. We shall see what she says.

Thanks.

Those are both pretty awesome!

[Elliott]

I LOVE THE LAST NAME MACMAHON or MCMAHON. BECAUSE OF ANDREW MCMAHON THE LEAD SINGER OF SOMETHING CORPORATE AND JACK'S MANNEQUIN. EEEEEEP.

[[deleted user]]

So, what do you guys think of these names for a family?

Meghan O'Carroll
Teagan O'Carroll
Erin O'Carroll
Quinn O'Carroll
Brendan O'Carroll

[tesni]

Yeah, I like that. They fit...really well together, if that makes sense.

They are good names, Cara. They all fit well and the first names sound good with the last name.

[Maria [the clockwork creeps on useless lives], Butts butts]

I like, Cara.

[[deleted user]]

I like Maria.

[Maria [the clockwork creeps on useless lives], Butts butts]

I like Cara too.

I had a dream last night that I couldn't say your name right.

[Maria [the clockwork creeps on useless lives], Butts butts]

I also enjoy the name Livia. Unfortunately, I have a friend named Livia so that would totally ruin it.

EGAD!

[Maria [the clockwork creeps on useless lives], Butts butts]

I was talking to Nikos and I kept pronouncing it either "Cahra" or "Kiera."

[tesni]

In my head I've always pronounced it "Cahra", like, the way I say "Path" and "Castle", id est the English way...Have I been mentally pronouncing it wrong?

[Maria [the clockwork creeps on useless lives], Butts butts]

You've been pronouncing it the European way, I believe. Which makes sense, because you are European.

"Care-a" is how I pronounce it.

[tesni]

Indeed I am *nodnod*. That would make sense.

Ah, I see.
Care-a. Care-a. Care-a.

*wonders off muttering Care-a to self so it sticks*

Hey, so my main character needs a name. She's sort of this loner in her villiage, and she's a dark mysterious person. I was thinking of something like Raven, but I don't know. HELP!

I used to mentally pronounce so many names wrong!

Raven is a cool name.

I can give you a few more, if you'd like. You don't have to use them of course. :)

Ciara (which means "dark")
Delaney ("child of the dark defiance")
Kira
Laila/Layla
Lindsay
Lila
Scotia ("Dark one")
Tamasa

So, all of those names have a meaning along the lines of "dark". Obviously, they're just names and just because you are something, doesn't mean your name has to mean it but...I always find it fun.

The name "Branwen" means "Beautiful Raven".
And then there's "Ravenna", which just means "Raven".


:D
