HelpRe: "New" Names
in reply to a message by Llewella
Yeah, seeing how they list names that are known to have been made up I wouldn't trust it. The site I linked to is far more trustworthy and if they say it's not a legit Native name, I'd believe them over anyone else tbh
eta: And I'm not saying there's anything wrong with liking those names, it's just that their etymology is made up and that's always something that's rubbed me the wrong way, especially with Native American names. It's just troublesome.

Top: Henry & Lara (main) / Caspian & Briar (GP) / Leon & Georgiana (top25)
Bottom: Trajan & Jacoba (main) / Dinadan & Melpomene (GP) / Corvo & Ourania (top25)

I don't mind if they're made up or the meaning is incorrect, I just liked the look/sound of them. I just put it so people would know where they came from (supposedly).
