Re: Himiko and Genevieve
in reply to a message by Wilted
Thank you for the well wishes ^-^ It's not really a decision though, just an exercise in making name combinations.
The reason I like Himiko so much is because-
1. It's the name of a Japanese shaman Queen at some point in history (or so I've read). I can't help but be drawn to strong women in history.
2. I've also read that it means something like Sun Child. I like it with Gwendolen because Gwendolen can mean white ring, possibly in reference to the Moon. Gwendolen was also a legendary Queen in Celtic history, who defeated her husband in battle. So there's two Queens and a Moon and Sun in the same name!
I realise it's a bit strange :D
