I foresee this one being a post that gets no answers… but hopefully I’m wrong!
Anyway, The Dancer’s Dozen is off to a start. And while I’m extremely unlikely to actually turn it into a series of any kind, I’d like to.
Even if I don’t, I can use the names of characters as some weird sort of Easter egg, I don’t know.
That’s why it’s all surnames, naturally.
Cora and Alec, two of our main protagonists (I think), have the surname Hendrix. From the two seconds of research I did, I’m fairly sure this means ‘ruler of the home’… which fits. Not exactly ‘their fairytale’, of course, but it works.
Loren, the third of our main ‘good guys’, has the surname Frost. Which is meant to be a fairly obvious reference to Snow White, for some reason unknown mostly to myself. But it’ll hit me eventually.
Anyway, outside of The Twelve Dancing Princesses and Snow White, does anybody have any surname suggestions you could link to fairytales? Or even other ideas for those tales? Technically no surname is set in stone yet — or the phone equivalent, which is ‘typed into a Google Doc’ — after all.
(And could you specify what fairytale it is, actually?)
