hello, all! a few things for this post:

-i'm writing a story in which one of my main characters goes by a different name daily. any suggestions? i'm avoiding names starting with the letter m. (and for funsies, if you were to change your name for short periods of time, what would you choose?) *

-what female names would have "ted" as a nickname (other than theodora)?

-how would you pronounce the name "helena"?

thanks!

*eta: the character is female; her real name is mary and her tongue-in-cheek default name is moneypenny, which is why i'm skipping m's. her name is randomly selected from a pre-determined list every morning and sent to her.

-Sarah Dessen wrote a book about a girl who moved around a lot. Her name was Elizabeth and she went by different names in different towns, Lizbet, Beth, Eliza, etc. I think it's a cool idea. I think I would probably use very short names if I changed it a lot (my name is Melissa)... Lily, Lola, Kate, etc. It would be harder to remember/use longer names.

-For some reason, I could see someone named Thecla going by Ted. Maybe Ted's parents are really traditional and she's very modern so it's her way of rebelling?

-"HEL-in-uh" like Helena Bonham Carter
