Because no one on here has heard those before. . .

Also, when I was little, I thought [name_f]Kathryn[/name_f] (my full name) was too boring of a name (which I no longer agree with, so donā€™t sue me), so I started calling myself [name_f]Katarine[/name_f] (my friend [name_u]Cadence[/name_u] was [name_f]Cadenza[/name_f] and my sister [name_u]Bertie[/name_u] was Bertia because I couldnā€™t think of anything better) (this didnā€™t last very long but I do still kinda like the name and would go by it without a problem if someone told me I had to)

Whoa! Those are some cool names! Also, Iā€™ve gotta say, I really like [name_f]Katarine[/name_f], [name_f]Cadenza[/name_f], and Bertia.

Wow! Very creative naming! I like the alternate pronunciation of [name_f]Emilia[/name_f], it actually makes a lot of sense.

When I was about twelve I named a character Malarrea, pronounced Mal-are-ee-ah. I didnā€™t know about the disease until I googled my original spelling of the name, only to find that I accidentally named my character something that wouldnā€™t work. So, I changed the spelling. Naming can be tough when youā€™re young. Luckily, sheā€™s a princess in the 1500s in a fantasy world, not a modern day person. Her name is a blend of the names [name_u]Mallory[/name_u] and [name_u]Aria[/name_u], which were the names of her late aunts. It was her grandmotherā€™s idea.

When I was younger, I named a character [name_m]Amadeus[/name_m]. I didnā€™t know it was an actual name and insisted it was pronounced as AM-ah-dee-us not as AS-mo-dee-us. I also named a character [name_u]Azazel[/name_u] and didnā€™t know it was a real name either and pronounced it as ASA-zel or As-zah-ell :joy:

[name_u]Super[/name_u] late but whatever.

When I was younger (think like 4th grade), I had a character named [name_f]Lilla[/name_f]. For some reason, I decided that [name_f]Lila[/name_f], [name_f]Lilly[/name_f], [name_f]Lillian[/name_f], or [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] wasnā€™t good enough, so I kind of combined them all.
(Later I realized that the name [name_f]Lilla[/name_f] would likely need a full name, so it became [name_f]Lillianna[/name_f]. She has an older sister named [name_f]Katharine[/name_f] ā€œKatieā€ and a younger sister named Indonesia-Maria ā€œIndoā€. I wasnā€™t the greatest at style matching back then lol.)

Also when I was younger, I had a toy dolphin sisters named Kuulana (ku-u-lah-nah) and [name_f]Malaiya[/name_f] (Malaysia without the ā€˜sā€™). Iā€™m not 100% sure where either name came from, but Iā€™ll take my best shot.
Kuulana - From what I remember, this was a mashup of her parents and grandparents names, which were [name_f]Aulani[/name_f] (mom), [name_f]Sunshine[/name_f] (dad), [name_f]Coral[/name_f] (grandmother), and Kumu (grandfather). I think 10-year-old me just decided to mix all the names up.
[name_f]Malaiya[/name_f] - I remember really wanting to name her [name_f]Malaysia[/name_f]. Iā€™m not sure I was even aware of the actual country, I just somehow conjured it up in my brain and decided it was pretty (which it actually kind of is). But then I found out that it was a country, so I switched around the spelling and removed a letter.
