Re: Wednesday
in reply to a message by Ludwig
I really like Wednesday (and nns Win, Winnie, Wendy). I've never been an fan of Lyra and the fact that both Wednesday and Lyra have really strong character references puts the combo over the top IMO.
He seems sort of fake to me- based solely on the juxtaposition of his name choices and his claimed "hands-off" and unobtrusive attitude. Seven, Arwen and Rain all make pretty bold statements on their own and also don't really strike me as "winner's" names. Sweeping statements I know but that's my first reaction.
I dislike both Stanley/Stan and Steve. Steven is doable but Steve, ew (though I've always thought it would make a hilarious pet name)
