Names from Dr. Quinn
Jul. 15th, 2010 12:11 pmOne of my favourite shows when I was a kid was "Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman". It occurred to me today that so many of the characters have names that I really love. What do you think? Bolding my favourites.
Michaela, nn Mike
Matthew
Colleen
Brian
Charlotte
Byron
Loren
Jake
Horace
Hank
Timothy
Robert
Grace
Ingrid
Olive
Dorothy
Myra
Preston
Andrew
Michaela, in particular, has really become one of my favourite names, but I don't love the nickname Mike. What other nicknames can you think of?
Also: I'm trying to come up with a bunch of names that contain meanings related to different emotions. I have quite a few that mean happy/joyful/etc., but (not surprisingly) there aren't a lot with negative meanings (sad/angry/afraid/lonely/jealous/etc). Can you think of any? Or maybe names that sound like these words in other languages?
