@Rochellaine

Well, I’m usually fairly good at sewing, but apparently lacy petticoats are beyond me.

@jenwriter17

Bye!

@Rochellaine

Are you around tonight?

@Catwing

I just got distracted reading the Mona Lisa entries 😛

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

@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]

@seekjustice …Hi…I have the best timing…I’ll finish it, just time…
@rochellaine Hello!

@rochellaine

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.

Yo, peeps! I’m writing. Ish. . .

SeekJustice — That writer’s block meme is hilarious.

@rochellaine @seekjustice @ariel-ashira @alia @dragon-snapper @valtmy @catwing

What?…I can be on two day in a row?! O.O

Heloooo! I am working on more outlining/writing letters/getting distracted. Anyone wanna join me? (but maybe not in that last one 😉 )

@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]

@rochellaine

Oh yes! That too 😀 It’s really annoying 😛

Child safety ones. Do you have those sort of things in America?

I don’t know if that’s true or not, but that woman is doing a bad job at it 😀

@ariel-ashira Hello!

@jenwriter17 I’ve only done it once, last year, but I’ve done the Camps four times (I think). I think the best advice is to…[Read more]

@rochellaine Oh, I see. Word wars are so much fun, I’m looking forward to them too. 🙂

@seekjustice How many years have you done NaNo? Any tips for a first-timer? 😉

@ariel-ashira Hello there. 🙂 how are ya?

I have to leave now, all. See you this weekend maybe. (sorry I had to leave as soon as you came, Ariel 🙁 )

@seekjustice @rochellaine @jenwriter17 *slips in*  *tiny mouse voice* I’m here too.

@jenwriter17 😀

@rochellaine

My sister and I are watching a movie on Alexandria and Nicholas, and Alexandria sounds strangely southern American 😀 At least, she doesn’t sound Russian. 😛

@rochellaine Oh are you doing NaNo this year? 🙂

@seekjustice Oh my yes, when I turned 18 a lot of things started happening (I had to fill out a lot of stuff too ;).
