They’re both pretty cool names!

I thought Dalbert was really odd. It’s like Albert, but with a D and that just seems crazy. Elbert is also quite strange and brings to mind an Anglo-Saxon prince or something. Amadeus is strange, but we’re more used to it, probably thanks to Mozart.

@seekjustice Jaron and Keir are great!  I like those a lot.  Especially Jaron.  I think I might end up using that!

I’ve actually heard of all those except Casimir, Jaron, Kier, Kele, and Kiel, so I’m interested to hear which ones you thought were weird? 🙂  Casimir is the weirdest in my opinion. 😛 (No offense to any Casimirs who may happen to…[Read more]

Some of these are very strange. If you don’t like any of them, let me know. I have half a book to go through yet.

@seekjustice Well, actually neither. 😛 Addison is still too normal.  It sounds a bit strange, but everyone’s heard of it.  I don’t want an ancient name either, like Adeodatus.  I want a name that sounds normal, but no one has ever heard of it before, like

@ariel-ashira

I remember seeing her around 😀 She does seem pretty cool. I’ve often wished that I had a big sister.

@rochellaine

Exactly how unusual are you thinking? More along the lines of Addison or, say, Adeodatus?

@rochellaine

Let me get the baby names book.

@rochellaine

I wouldn’t either, but I’m not adverse to the idea of praying for a husband (as in, praying for the guy, not praying that I would get one)

We do change a lot, don’t we? I don’t remember ever having a specific list though. I still don’t have one now, to be honest.

@seekjustice @ariel-ashira I need a name for a character.  He’s the protagonist of one of my writing projects, and it’s set in a contemporary period.  Since he’s the protagonist he needs to have a nice enough sounding name that people won’t be put off by it.  However, it needs to be a very unusual name in order for the plot to work.  The kic…[Read more]

@seekjustice Haha.  Well, I’ve heard of people doing that, so I don’t think it’s a completely strange or new idea.  It’s not something I’d do, though. 😉

However, I did once (several years ago) write a list of questions I’d ask a guy who wanted to court me and their required answers.  I went over it again recently and realized how silly it wa…[Read more]

@rochellaine

Wondering if writing letters to your future husband qualifies as obsessed.

Also working on my novel 😀

@ariel-ashira Ah, thanks. 🙂

@seekjustice 😛

What are you doing now?

@rochellaine

Yeah, and I feel they might be walking that line 🙂

@ariel-ashira

Oh, who’s your sister?

@seekjustice I’m back!

The line between helpfulness and obsession…hm. 😛

@ariel-ashira Hello, I’m here now.  One thing I noticed about SE was that it’s a lot like KP used to be. (obviously, because it’s run by the same people…) Basically what I mean is, while like you say, 90% of the people write fantasy and magic, a lot of the discussions…[Read more]

@ariel-ashira

Phew! That’s good news 😀

@rochellaine

They write a lot and I can’t decide whether they’re obsessed or helpful.

See you later 😀

@seekjustice I just went over there and it does look interesting.

I’m going to disappear for probably half an hour or forty-five minutes.  See you later.

@rochellaine

It’s basically about getting back to the way God defined girls to be, most of the posts are about relationships/guys.

It’s fascinating.

@seekjustice Haha!  What’s the blog about?  Never heard of it.

@rochellaine

Hello! Well, I’m supposed to be working on my novel, but somehow I ended up reading the Girl Defined blog and wondering whether I’m normal or very, very strange.
