Re: Help Me Wrap My Head Around This Name
in reply to a message by Daddysdancer
Well, I'm on team Balthazar. It really is just badass. In fact, I don't even really see it as an "out there" type of name - but then, perhaps I have warped standards. I like most names that sound like they could belong to wizards.
Zar is far preferable as a nickname to Bal, think of it that way.
I'd name a sibling something like....
Lazarus
Xerxes
Leopold
Ferdinand
Algernon
Achilles
Charlemagne
Mordecai
Beauregard
Calpurnia
Desdemona
Morrigan
Boadicea
Hyacinth
Because when would be a better time to just go name-crazy? None time. The time is now.
I can see your point though, that Balthazar is a hard act to follow. Maybe something strongly relating to your name, or with a lot of personal significance to you, since Caspar got his shot.
