Re: Name survey
in reply to a message by Ora (hufflepuffer)
1. Current favorite name (boy and girl)?
-Benjen and Lena
2. Current favorite combo (boy and girl)?
-Benjen Clark and Lena Marcella
3. Favorite name you would never use in real life (boy and girl)?
-Rutherford and Nancy
4. Favorite twin sibset (boys, girls, and boy and girl)?
-B/B, Nathan & Benjen (Nate & Ben)
-G/G, Lena & Hollis (Lee & Holly)
-B/G, Charles & Francis (Chaz & Frankie)
5. Least favorite name (boy and girl)?
-Brock and Primrose. UGH.
6. Favorite "non-name" name?
-Elysian. I see it as a girl name, but I guess it could work for a boy.
7. If you had to go into witness protection and were allowed to choose your new name, what would it be?
-Gretchen V. Blumenthal. The "V" stands for Vee.
8. If you could travel to any time period but had to take a pseudonym, which time period would you go to and what would be your nom de plume?
-I would travel to the 1920's and be Verna Malloy, of course.
9. If you had to let any other BTNer name your kid, who would you choose? You can choose someone different for boy and girl if you like (and BTNer, if you see this, feel free to name the kid! haha).
-Oooh, so many options.
Well, I think I would go with Llewella, since she seems to have good taste. The names would be functional IRL but not too popular. RoxStar could provide solid, real life names too, though. But a part of me wants to go with JessicaLeigh, just to see what she would come up with.
10. What's your prediction for the most popular name (girl and boy) 5 years from now? (you may do your home country, or any country of your choice, just specify which one your predicting for).
-I don't make predictions because I'm terrible at them. I have no idea.
11. And ten years from now?
-See above.
12. And twenty years from now? Do you have any reasoning behind your prediction?
-See above. Above.
13. If you could magically make any name (boy and girl) the number one most popular name next year, which would it be?
-Westerly & Iphigeneia
14. If you were sucked into a fictional world and needed a pseudonym, what would it be? Don't forget to specify the fictional world you were sucked into! (for ex: Middle Earth, Harry Potter, Marvel Universe, The Elder Scrolls, Doctor Who, Zombieland, etc)
-I was sucked into Westeros, and my name is Red Priestess Rhaella Harlaw.
15. And on tangent-- you get to rename a fictional character now! Who do you change to rename, where are they from, and what is their new name?
-Scarlett O'Hara is now named Tulip. Tulip Periwinkle McSpongecake. I think it suits her.

I'd be tempted to let JessicaLeigh give it a shot for me too. She's amazing.
