Pagan KUY congrats round 2
Last round: https://www.behindthename.com/bb/game/5157741
---Sorry y'all. I was making it too complicated on myself. For one thing I didn't have a plan for your moon sizes. For another I wasn't prepared for it to be so weighted towards the gibbouses. Also I was sort of quoting a scene from a fantasy book that I already knew was sketchy, and then I read an article about THAT SPECIFIC SCENE that mentioned there was a brief sentence of something really awful in it, so I felt kind of soured on it.
I think it can still be fun. I think it'll be kind of a CAF mixed with a congrats.
Round 2
Here we name your spouse (domestic partner) for the next several years. Let's say 7 years, three children.
To name your spouse:
If you were born in an even month, name them a pagany GP.
If you were born in an odd month, name them a pagany name you almost like, but you don't quite - a guilty displeasure, as it were.
Your three children are all named according to the same pattern: the first name is an animal name, and the middle name honors a goddess or god from the tradition of your choice. No need to keep the tradition the same through the three children.Your firstborn wants a Wolf name:Your secondborn wants an Eagle name;Your third wants a Serpent or Dragon name.

I edited to add deity names, but I liked offspring four's original name so much that I just added Apollo to the end. :)

EarthIf you'd like to edit your names so that the middle names are divinities, go ahead. It's fine if not. I love Eagle Arnfried! And Wolf Lowell.Frost Darknight - how much fun is that! Gotta be GPs.
vote up1
EditedOops, I didn't read the description properly. Anyway, I tried to stick to my theme of word names to prevent the family from sounding too much like a modern cultural mashup. But I get it, we're not actual pagans. :-)I picked Frost Darknight because I wanted something that evokes Winter solstice. Yes, it's a GP.

Those names are so gnarly, I bet they're anti-GPs.Ooh, Ulfric Tyr! Beautiful combo - super manly. These wolf names are that way I guess. Points for using Arnfrieda, I'm considering altering my DD to that.

I guess I just love those gnarly names! :D

AirMan I could have just asked people to put the element in the subject line of their response. Not the quickest thinking.I think those are GPs - October and Calix I couldn't quite guess, but Foxglove is so likeable. I think you were born in an even month!Love Vega Astor Coatlicue - Vega Astor is just awkward and scaffolded enough to hold up Coatlicue nicely.

AirOoh, tasty combos! *** I can't decide which I like most. I think Tanith Hestia - what a well-balanced pair of names! Unlike poor Rowan, no offense, although those four names are quite beautiful. Gwydion I really like...You must be born in an even month. Oleander is such a beautiful name! And Uranus is so cool but I can see how it would be unpalatable lol. Urania and Ourania are major GPs of mine.

Thanks! :Dhaha, I'm odd... got Oleander from a name a friend of a friend was considering for a baby, but I just can't stop thinking... couldn't it just be Leander?And Uranus, well, you understand... (I like it if the u's are said like 'oo' but well, they generally are not)but maybe they are dancing too close to GP, ah well
vote up1
Oh darn! Well, I like Oleander better than Leander. I love Ol- beginnings. But it is a little long for everyday use.Ah yeah I guess the astrological coolness is particularly apparent to me! Uranus is a totally fun planet in astrology, and the name is just soooo goofy. It's literally Your-Butthole. It's the funniest name for a planet ever.

EarthYeah! How awful. And I already knew the author was super messed up. It wasn't what I thought of when I thought of inappropriate parts of that book, though.That comes out a lot with fantasy authors it seems like. I'm going to guess you were born in an odd month. Gwalchmei? I can't imagine that being a GP. :PCernunnos, nice find.

At the beginning of that book I was willing to blame some of the pedo stuff on a few characters, but then there were MORE pedo characters, and then I looked at the author's wikipedia page... oops.

EarthI was not enjoying making these combos but honestly they're all pretty cool. I wouldn't name a kid Ingolf Cerebrus but hey I would if he wanted. Tiresias Apollo is fun but doesn't hold together super well. I give myself the wooden spoon for Eagle Aegle.

Air (customizing response titles for easier bookeepping)Stone Leaf.... hmm... I guess even months! Because I sorta like those names. Beautiful combos, Draco Lugh quite striking, Avis Cerridwen fine, but Ylva Brighid is perfect. The perfect balance of grit to silk.

Actually, I was born in an odd month :)
