BORED. I've been messing around with name combos. I know my favorites aren't the style of most, but I welcome any suggestions or new ideas for combos. If you have any questions about pronounciation, just ask and I'll try:)
Antigone will always make me think of incest and Dresden will always make me think of a city being firebombed. Sorry. I absolutely love Providence Ophelia and James Callum, though.
For me, Antigone stood up for what she believe to be right and was willing to die for what she believed. It means love, loyalty, compassion, and conviction. Her folks were whacked, though, I'll give you that:)
Dresden is after a character created by Jim Butcher in the book series the Dresden Files. I love the character, but his fn is Harry, which I wouldn't use. A lot of my names come from characters in books. I am a geek. A total geek.
Yeah, I could tell that there was some literary influence at work when I saw Ender Valentine. :) It's cool, as a fellow geek, I support it in others. I actually remember someone telling me about the Dresden Files and me having the same reaction, i.e. tragedies don't make good names for people, but I see where your coming from. I actually think I'd be able to get past it if it weren't for another book, Slaughterhouse V. But oh well, to each his/her own.

But, good list!!

YAY! Someone else likes Providence, too!
