Sep. 13th, 2007 03:01 ami am kind of writing a story. i wanted the community's input on this!
two of my characters names:
Adelaide Leclair
Laurence Elliot
they have a child named:
Evangeline Elliot
i have no middle names yet.
a few questions:
+ i don't think Evangeline Elliot really meshes. do you find it really grating, or am i really overthinking it?
+ do you more commonly or simply prefer seeing the spelling Elliot, Eliot, or Elliott?
+ i did not find out until a couple of weeks ago that Laurence is a feminine spelling, and that Lawrence is masculine. do you find it to be a big deal? if you saw the name Laurence, would you automatically assume male or female?
+ what are some nicknames would you give to people with these names? anything from a really direct nickname (like Addie for Adelaide) to something a bit more contrived would be awesome. i just need nickname ideas from someone besides myself, lol! this is the question i'd really like answered the most, so you can just answer this one and ignore the others if you don't feel like writing a big response ;D
thank you so much to anyone who comments. i know these are a lot of questions, but any time taken to just help me a little bit would be appreciated so much! :D
