Help[Opinions] Re: Psyche
in reply to a message by clevelandkentevans
That teeters precariosly on the fine line between a bold move and a cheap audio-gag.
Thank the Lord the father wasn't a professor of gastrolenterology or fluid mechanics or accounting.
Dr. Psyche LastName, psychologist, is the kind of thing that I would think an editor would urge an author to change unless the author was intending to be funny.
Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you criticize him, you're a mile away and you have his shoes!

I think it's cool.

Especially given the time period. It might be a bit much now, but then? It fit with the times and it has a neat connection.
The other kids were:
Edith
McKeen
Owen
Quinta
Ware
Jacques
The names do give off a 19th century, intellectual, 'off-beat' vibe, I admit.

Wait, are you also vigdis, or is that someone else?
Quinta reminds me of Quinta Brunson. I need to watch "Abbott Elementary".

Same person. Sorry, I wasn't thinking and replied too quickly. I can't edit. My phone is broken at the moment and I forgot my email passowrd. My account is linked to my phone, which makes the entire situation more complicated. And I always log in to BtN with my email. Fun times. Thankfully it's junk email account. If it were my primary account I'd be royally screwed.
I was Vigdis for years.
I'm now going to look up Quinta Brunson and Abbot Elementary.

Oh, no big deal, I just wondered. I thought maybe it could be a different person, but that username is kind of obscure, so I thought I would ask. :)

Fun fact: I chose Vigdis from a book - Gunnar's Daughter. (https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6226.Gunnar_s_Daughter) She isn't that likable of a character, but I dug the name.
