For [name_f]Ambrosia[/name_f] [name_f]Lunette[/name_f], it might be overkill, but it all depends on the type of story and her personality

Okay. In that case, I don’t think the name is too out there. It’s quite pretty :slight_smile:

I was thinking, since Nameberry has such a wonderfully diverse set of users who speak all different languages, would it be helpful to make a thread where people can ask for translations they need in their stories from people who actually speak the language, rather than depending on something unreliable like Google Translate? Or would nobody really use it?

  • Yes! That’s a great idea!
  • Seems okay.
  • No, it would never be used and fizzle out of existence.
  • A thread like this already exists. (If so, please give me the link!)
  • I’ll comment a longer opinion. (Because I always forget something)

Changed character’s name to Salmai (ending like “my”), but now I can’t unsee “salami”.

  • stick with Salmai, it’s fine
  • Salmei
  • I’ll tell you the spelling
  • change name completely

The original spelling was Salmey but I decided y doesn’t fit the vibe of my world.

I would totally use it!!! I’ve never considered using NB for something like that, but I think it’s brilliant!!!

[name_f]Elizaveta[/name_f] is pronounced Yelizaveta; I knew a Russian publisher with this name. I’ve mostly known Lizonka as the nn for [name_f]Elizaveta[/name_f], but Liza/Lisa is common too.

[name_u]South[/name_u] [name_u]Park[/name_u] isn’t a children’s show and most of the others are 20+ years old and don’t run any more. Peanuts used to be a newspaper comic before that though, so you might have seen it around somewhere.

Okay, so, I may or may not be writing a Kit Kittredge fanfic… And shipping Kit and Stirling… And need a ship name for them… Which one do y’all think is the best?

Ship Names
  • Sit (lol) (Stirling x Kit)
  • Kitling (Kit x Stirling)
  • Kirling (Kit x Stirling)
  • Koward (lol) (Kittridge x Howard)
  • Howridge (Howard x Kittridge)
  • You have something better (plz comment!)

0 voters

Please comment what you think of them (and opinions on me shipping them in the first place lol)

They’re 9 so… yeah, I find that very weird (and borderline disturbing, tbh). BUT if you’re writing about them being older, like teenagers, that could be really sweet! I think it would be interesting to show how the Depression shaped them as teenagers, and how WWII is impacting them too. I could see [name_u]Kit[/name_u] getting really overwhelmed as she’s trying to be a journalist but everything is just depressing, and it impacting her generally happy and optimistic personality.

I feel being evil just for the purpose of the scheme is scarier- it makes you realise that anyone can contain an evil deep inside and the surprising lengths normal people will go to to achieve their ambitions
