Woman's name: Yay or nay? http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/the-polling-booth/threads/40327 SushiSushi Hi guys! What do you think of the full name; Aurelia Plume? What kind of woman would the name conjour up, looks/personality wise for you? Bear in mind, the story would be a fantasty/different world/society, so the quirkiness of the name wouldn't be unusual there. Thanks! :3 Sun, 20 Nov 2011 16:59:10 -0800 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/the-polling-booth/threads/40327?page=1#forum_thread_comment_785272 http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/the-polling-booth/threads/40327?page=1#forum_thread_comment_785272 Easily Distracted I kind of like it. In my mind she's quite fearless, maybe a bit tactless, means well, maybe tends to think she knows what's best for other people too...

Daring, headstrong, marching to the beat of her own drum, but overdoing it a bit trying to impress and trying to prove something.

Like everybody that has commented i feel like this name gives this woman a since of spunk, however i do see a kind of Luna Lovegood character residing within her. Is that what you were going for or did i totally ruin the name?

I kind of picture a well off woman who wears nice clothes and those old fashioned hats. Her hair is in perfect ringlets and she has perfect manners. That being said, I laughed when I saw this the ancestor of my main characters was Aurelius (a guy) and therefore they call themselves "Aurelians." So close.

But the first thing that popped into my mind was a lady with a light yellow old-style dress (that kind that has the waist puffed up) with white dots on it holding an umbrella in the same colour. She also has a nice yellow hat with some white flowers on it. She's young and got a good humour. :'D now, that's quite different from everyone else, I suppose ...
