Re: Why do so many people like Huckleberry? (m)
I think we're practical when we need to be, but there are plenty of regulars here who like being able to use GPs in combos or for 'what if.....' questions. To me, practical is real life usage. Would you give a child this name?For the what if's, like "Name six sisters", we'd go for the themey sibsets that we wouldn't really give to kids. There are writers who come here, too, and are more used to using lots of varied names for characters.

Argh, I can never make hypothetical combos. I'm an extremely literal person, so if someone asks this it would always have to be something that I would consider in real life.

It can be hard for me, too. Maybe my brain just goes 'I just named a group of cousins for my story. Do I really need to do this, too?' But it's something that isn't necessarily taken seriously.

Ditto, pretty much!
