Current RP Characters - Riju/Ridge Waydrifter, Rishi, Shysie-Taima (shay-see), Cain Reaver



If I ever buy any children, they are so screwed when it comes to names.

They are getting medievil/native indian/inuit/elven names, or maybe just a normal word if I feel like it.
Oh, and it's getting Waydrifter as a middlename, girl or boy.
And it's bound to have hundreds of middle names as I don't have one.

And I hope to marry someone with an interesting surname.
As mine means 'Wallet or Bag maker, Celtic origin' or as a modern definition, Ooozing fat.

I shall change my surname to 'Fedaykin'.

So my spawn will more than likely be Tristram Waydrifter Fedaykin. Poor sod.

Oubliette would mean "little forgotten one" in French, I'd think.

[swiftheartlu.livejournal.com]

Yep. It's a torture device. It's a hole you shove someone in to forget about them. It would actually just be 'forgotten'. At least they'd have an interesting name!

[celtic--punk.livejournal.com]

yes; something to that extend. "oublier" is the verb to forget, and ette is a suffix that indicates something thats female, b/c french nouns, adjectives, etc. have genders.

please dont do cain and abel as twins. not only would they get ridiculed but you probably would too. and im a HUUUGE fan of biblical names, but thats too trite and its not a positive biblical reference, even if it is in the "holy book" and the "word of God" at least names like matthew, elijah, and nathaniel have positive meanings and connotations.

[swiftheartlu.livejournal.com]

I probably think that everyone in this post didn't actually READ the post, just the names. But anyway.

1/ I'll call my spawn anything I please and if anyone wants to ridicule me, they can do it to my face and swiftly eat their words.
2/ If I wanted a name with a positive meaning, i'd have picked a name with a positive meaning. I could vouch that they ARE positive. They are two of the strongest characters.

Also, if you're well read you'd also realise that they are the fathers of the age of vampires. Which makes the names doubly cool for twin characters.

And if I wanted a positive biblical name, I'd call a child God.

I'm pretty positive the girl from Land Before Time is spell Cera, instead of Sera, like triceratops :) Just incase you might like the Cera spelling better :)

[swiftheartlu.livejournal.com]

Yes, it is Cera.
But I like Sera.

Although I think I might have to a kid Peetwee now.

[hastaxmuerte.livejournal.com]

Haha, that would be so cute as a nickname if you could find a "real" name to go with it :)

[swiftheartlu.livejournal.com]

What's wrong with Peetwee as a 'real' name. It's just a method of addressing someone...

And a chosen name is better than how people USED to be given names...

[ladydiddymus.livejournal.com]

yeah, Oubliette is a pretty sad name for a little kid. And I have to say that I think Bunty justs sounds silly.
maybe you already knew this, but since you paired it with another "R" name I'm figuring maybe not... but Reiko is Japanese (I believe) and is originally meant to be prnounced like "Leiko"

[swiftheartlu.livejournal.com]

I know it's Japanese. Ridge is a shortening of another Japanese based name but twins with rhyming names is far too twee.

Bunty is an AWESOME name. It's like calling a lil boy Dandy or Beano.

Oubliette is a fairly unsuitable name for a kid, yes. But great nonetheless. It was a name I used in an Lovecraftian short story.

[bugamok.livejournal.com]

Gah, and I was just joking by saying, "What next, Oublier?" when someone mentioned liking random french words for names.

Someone mentioned a while back, remember, it's a global society nowadays. Think of your reaction if you met someone named Forget, Open, Telephone, etc.

I've known a Keelin and a Fallon, neutral on both names. Seamus is one of my favorite names.

Cain and Abel? I do joke about naming a boy Abel (for my initials) and I hope you're joking, too.

[swiftheartlu.livejournal.com]

Nope. No joke. They are a WICKED pair of names.

And Oubliette is a pretty name for starters, and then there comes all the related ideas and connotations.
I'd LOVE to have that name.

Forget would be a cool name.
Open, Telephone? No. They are boring words. I'm a 'Path' and no-one blinks when I introduce myself thusly.

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

Sera is pretty, but it reminds me of "will be" which is its French translation.

Like, il sera un homme.

But it's still nicer than Cera.

[swiftheartlu.livejournal.com]

Well, it would be giving a kid a fair chance to be anything it wanted then? I mean, I was Resembling God from the offset. What I wouldn't give to not have to live up to THOSE expectations!

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

Haha, yeah, I actually like it though.
That isn't the actual etymology of the name, but it's still a really nice thing to believe.

It's a pretty thing to give to a child, I think.

[kassafrass.livejournal.com]

I love Koda and Scout.

Scout just sounds like she'd be such an outgoing little girl. Reminds me of the book How to Kill a Mocking Bird.

[swiftheartlu.livejournal.com]

Scout is a great name cos it connotes running about in woods, climbing trees and generally being a bit of a pain in the ass.

And Koda is just a cute name. And Kodiak is cool.

[chadam-lives.livejournal.com]

Ridge is a lovely name. I'm all for naming things/characters/pets/kids after random words, or nouns.
My other fave is Seamus. That's my bro's name. Lol

Fallon is nice as well. I think its the name of a school book publishing company here in old Eireann. It's a surname, tho, in real life. I'll stop rambling now. XD

[swiftheartlu.livejournal.com]

It can be a first name too. Same as a LOT of names.

Ridge is a GREAT name.
Naming things randomly is fantastic. For example, a cat called Kick. Kick the Cat.

[chadam-lives.livejournal.com]

I personally love the word Raid. I have a character named that in a novel i'm writing (I posted a while ago about it here) and the word Jump. I don't know why. I just love it as a name.
Not that I'd ever use it on a person, but an animal it would be cute. Oh, and I have a Sim called Jump. That's almost a person, isn't it? Hehe.
And Kick the Cat is great. I had a kitten called Derek once. I had to give it away tho, me sister is allergic. :/

[swiftheartlu.livejournal.com]

Raid just reminds me of insect killer. It works though.
I have characters with random names going on atm - Shift, Priest, Gadgeteer...normal names just didn't fit the characters, or the plot.

[swiftheartlu.livejournal.com]

Ahh! This reminds me of two other names that are just words that I LOVE...from David Gemmells Rigante series - 'Wing' and 'Bane'.
Wicked names.

[jamykins.livejournal.com]

I ADORE the name Fallon for a girl! I've never met another person who liked it.

I also love the Scout and River.
