It’s been a while since we’ve talked! Hopefully you can find some time to drop in 😀

There’s a massive drought in Aus at the moment, which is why we were discussing it 😛

He’s had a lot of tests, but they’ve all come back clear. Which is good…except there’s definitely something wrong and none of the doctor’s can work out what it is. So yeah…we’re thinking he’s definitely going to be in hospital for at least…[Read more]

@seekjustice

I just had an idea…what if we threw random questions back and forth about our current WIP’s main character(s), since we can’t word war at the moment? 🙂

@seekjustice Hmm, sounds interesting. 😉

I’m glad you can spend some time with your mom. I’ll keep praying for your dad too.

@jenwriter17

Well, my family and I have been debating about the greed of western civilization.

I’m probably going to do some worldbuilding and blog posts in a minute though.

And things are okay at the moment. My mum’s home today so that’s really good.

@seekjustice Hi! 😀 What are you working on? How are things?

@jenwriter17

Hey! I’m here for a bit.

@seekjustice @rochellaine @warrenluther04 @dekreel @dragon-snapper @alia @ariel-ashira @catwing I am working on blog posts and outlining! Would anyone like to join me?

@kaymart I look forward to it. 🙂

@rochellaine

I’ve read some of Ethel Turner many years ago, but I haven’t heard of any of the other ones.

And I saw that article but I haven’t read it yet, I kinda just skimmed over it.

I’ll talk to you later then!

@rochellaine

I found Victoria’s births deaths and marriages site which has a really good list of popular names, it only goes back to 1929, but its quite interesting to look at. Of course, its only for one state, but I imagine the rest of Australia was pretty similar.

Here’s the…[Read more]

@rochellaine

I believe its Greek 🙂

I can’t find any specifically Australian sites either, at least for back then. I can only find Social Security which seems to be global (or British empire anyway). I will let you know if I find any. (Though looking through old newspapers in the birth/deaths/marriages sections might give a good idea.

@rochellaine

I quite like Lilian, Cora and Elise, so I’ll think over those three for a bit and decide between them.

As for cultural differences, I’m not really sure about America during that time period, but Australia has traditionally kept to the trends of England and Ireland. Irish names were very popular but I doubt there would have been many…[Read more]

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]

@rochellaine

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.

@daughteroftheking *nods head vigorously* 😀

@warrenluther04 Well, I don’t have a phone, so I haven’t had a conversation quite like that, but yeah I’ve had Apple vs. every other device discussions with my tech brother. 😀

Done for now. . .
