Rory

[americandiva.livejournal.com]

I have 2 questions about the name Rory and I wanted to see if I could get some answers here

If you met someone named Rory...would you expect them to be a boy or a girl?



if you met someone named Rory and they had a sister named Peyton...would they be a boy or a girl?


I'm interested to see what you guys think of the name Rory...what gender you think a Rory would be and if that changes with a sister named Peyton.


thanks in advance!!! 

So...

Heard the name of a gal that used to work at my company today:

Anastasia. Nothing out of the ordinary, right? Only, it's pronounced ah-nah-stah-SEE-yah

For why with the random pronunciation? Does anyone else pronounce Anastasia like that? It seems so pretentious to me. Like telling people my name is Jessica, only it's pronounced jees-ICE-ay. Also like the Rave pronounced Rahv. Totally unnecessary and confusing.

Final Month!

Well, we're in to the last several weeks of my pregnancy, as I'm officially due on October 6th; I don't really believe I'll make it all the way to my due date, however, so we may have a September baby.

Anyway, we have finally agreed on the girl's name Miranda and we're probably going to go with Gabriel Kenneth if we have a boy. The girls' middle names I'm leaning toward are Tempest and Rose; Kenneth is non-negotiable if we have a boy due to personal meaning, but Gabriel isn't totally set in stone. If it helps, our last name is one syllable and begins with a B.

Suggestions and comments, as ever, are welcome!

Pen name help?

So I strongly dislike my last name. I refuse to let my father's family name take credit for anything I do (or at least, my writing). I've also posted about not being too fond of my first name, it being a boys name (though, after some chats with people here I have become less loathing of it, so thanks :) for that)

I'm usually very interested in the meaning of names for symbolism, foreshadowing, etc. But for a pen name (though I'm still curious of meanings) I'm willing to forget about it for something that fits so well.

I would most likely use a middle name with the pen name, but it's not critical that there be one.

I'd love to hear any suggestions you have for first, middle, and/or last(sur?) names. I'm into classics and creative names.

Here are a few I have tried in the past (I write a By line to feel it out):

Emmalina Embers Eve
Samantha Grace
Annaliese Rhythme (anna-leece-ay)(rhyth-may)
Cassandra Claire Chapman

I don't think those fit me very well, but I love the names. If you can provide a few suggestions I'll play mix-and-match for awhile. Thanks :)

Not Exactly A BABY Name, Per Se...

[wowthatisminty.livejournal.com]

So I've started writing again!

Yay.

I'm writing a new play called Dora at the Wedding.

In it, a young woman named Lisa is about to be married. Her sister Pandora (Dora, for short) has a sensory integration disorder and skips out on Lisa's bachelorette party because of the noise. However, she has agreed to store party favors in her garage. Lisa's best friend Caroline hires a male stripper to pop out of a giant shiny purple box at the party, a box which she leaves in Dora's garage. A box that is, unfortunately, identical to the box Dora JUST inherited from her dead grandfather, one she must never EVER open. Coming back from Starbucks, Dora encounters the stripper, having escaped a claustrophobic situation, outside the purple box and the OTHER box, the box that holds the mystery, is in the coatroom of a sleazy Boston bar. Dora and the stripper have to make it across town in rush-hour traffic before Lisa unleashes all the evils on the world.

Here's my question...

What should I name the stripper? He's 24 and he's doing this to pay for grad school.

while watching "the interpreter" (love that movie) instead of doing homework, a question struck me:

silvia or sylvia?
other suggestions?
