@seekjustice Okay, here’s a list:

• Mona
• Lillian/Lilian
• Nan (this is a nickname for Anne)
• Elsie/Elise
• Marie (This pronunciation was made fun of so much that there’s even a song about it.  😛 “Mary’s a Grand Old Name” by George M. Cohan.  It was an extremely popular name, but – at least in America – because it was the French p…

She would probably be upper middle class. Comfortable and a little uppity, so her parents would probably be the sort of people who would give their daughter a name slightly above their class to sound more posh than they really are.

Suggest whatever you like 🙂 I’m all out of ideas!

Only two, at least while I’m waiting for the rest…[Read more]

@seekjustice Cool! 🙂

I have a couple of comments/questions:

Your book is set in Australia, right?  What social class is your character in?

In most of the books I’ve read that were written in that time period, the more “unique/fancy” names like Lilian, Ethel, and Evelyn were often made fun of by the people who preferred more “sensible” names…[Read more]

I need some help getting a female name for one of my novels. Its a WWI novel so she was born in the late 1890s. I’m looking for a name that’s not, like, Mary or Jane or Philomena. Do you have any ideas? I want it to be sort of unique but not out of place for the historical period.

@warrenluther04 Yes yes yes! I have those conversations all. the. time. And really, apple? I will stick with Androids till the end of days.

THANKS to you both!!

I haven’t been able to get here, and had forgotten about this story. I may work on it occasionally, but I’ll be posting other bits and pieces if you don’t mind.

@jenwriter Yeah, the phone is a pretty recent addition so I’m kinda-sorta obsessed with it. (Not to the detriment of my writing or anything obviously 😉 )

“Apple vs. [any-other-tech]” discussions can get…interesting. XD XP 😛

@jenwriter17 It’s cool, isn’t it!?

@jenwriter17 Word on macOS is pretty weird compared to a PC. *commences to geek out about tech* I was confused when I started using Windows computers at school; I’ve always used a Mac and the Windows software is a lot different than macOS.

Oh, and I’ve had conversations like the one you had with you and your brother a lot with my friends who…[Read more]

@dekreel Yeah. I’m gonna try to do some more writing on it either this month or November. 😐 Darn school for always getting in the way of precious writing time with nasty homework! 😉

Done for now. . .

Yo, peeps! I’m writing. Ish. . .

SeekJustice — That writer’s block meme is hilarious.

@jenwriter17

Yeah, my parents have a Mac which I found really difficult to use, which is why they ended up buying me my own computer which Word works much better on 🙂

That’s one of the great aspects of Scrivener in my opinion.

@jenwriter17

Oh, Scrivener is awesome! I usually do my first drafts in Microsoft Word, but I find Scrivener really useful for editing and sorting things out.

@jenwriter17

I’m actually getting ready to go into town and do some shopping for my mum.

@jenwriter17

Life’s a bit crazy today so I may disappear without warning, but I’ll join you for a bit.

@seekjustice Yes, in America voting is not required.  Our voting laws are really weird and confusing, actually.

Ah, I see.

😛

@ariel-ashira Haha. 😛

I’m actually really sleepy.  Had a long day.  So I’m going to depart now.  Talk to you all soon, hopefully!

@rochellaine  I have been what’s cooking, I think.  I have been on SE, talking to people and trying not to burn myself.   What about you?

@rochellaine

We have to sign up before we turn eighteen. At least, I did, and I’m pretty sure its mandatory to do it before eighteen. I believe in America you don’t have to vote, (is that right?) but in Australia you have to.

The safe children policies are basically to stop child abuse. And you have to do the training for everything you get i…[Read more]
