馃嚝馃嚪/馃嚚馃嚘/馃嚠馃嚜Hello! I'm Maddie =)
The world is beautiful and I love researching and spreading the truth, especially about under-appreciated subjects such as the origin of names. I feel it's important to understand the history of names as it helps weave the stories that makes our favourite names what they are! Even if a name doesn't sound the greatest to my ears I can still appreciate it if it has a good meaning.I mostly use this website for naming my characters for the books I'll never publish but maybe I'll contribute some of my own knowledge from talking to people abroad, as well as my linguistics background.
