Help[Games] Something's wrong. Here's the rest.
in reply to a message by Fisher
For some reason I can't put all of it into one post. So here's the rest.
This is my daughter Ingrid Brunhild.
You say: Ingrid? That's a good strong name.
You think: Ingrid? That's a good strong name. Brunhild? Not because it's too consantant-y, but I just don't like it. I dunno why...
This is my son Lyle Delmar.
You say: How nice.
You think: Lyle. Another silly name. Harpo Lyle? *bursts into laughter*
This is my daughter Thea Camille.
You say: How beautiful!
You think: That is a gorgeous name!!

Heavens! And more...
Any idea why this is happening?
This is my daughter Sarah Elaine:
You say: What a pretty name. Hello, Sarah.
You think: Sarah is a nice name, but so overused...
This is my son Rafael Cesaire.
You say: What is up, Rafael?
You think: Hmm. What nationality is he? I don't mean to sound rascist, but I would love this name on a Hispanic boy and dislike it on a white. I'm not rascist, promise...
This is my daughter Lucy Hermione.
You say: Hello, Lucy.
You think: Lucy. How utterly childish. No growing room with that one.
This is my son Rylan Patrokles.
You say: Hey, Rylan.
You think: Rylan. I like it muy muy mucho. It's a hot name. Patrokles?? Is that Greek? Cause if it is (which means it's probably pronounced something like pa-TRO-klees) it's ok. But I'm picturing it pronounced pa-TRO-k'ls... Which goes right beside Lyle and Harpo. *snicker*
This is my son Leonidas Beowulf, we call him Leon.
You say: Hey Leon.
You think: I like Leo better than Leon. As for the other names? ...I'm not even gonna touch those. *grimace*

you're right, Patrokles is Greek, and is pronounded pa-TRO-klees. Patrokles was the lover and companion of Achilles in the original Illiad.

He was also, as indicated in my signature, totally Achilles's cousin.
(He actually was not, it's a joke on the movie Troy. *whistles* Definetly not here...didn't say anything... who said that?)
