I was just checking out this post and I couldn't help but ask, what's your story about? I too am writing a story about witches and vampires. My main character is a witch with the same features...well at least she has the black hair bit. I'm just curious. It sounds interesting!Oh, and have you considered posting your story on www.fanfiction.net? It's an awesome place for original stories or fanfiction.

Well,there´s no vampires in my story, I´m sorry to say. It´s more about superstitions. Ciardha,my witch,is a woman who is too independent for people to handle in the middleages.The villagers avoid her as much as they can.I´ve only just started,so I can´t tell so much.
Have you written something on the fanfiction site? That is_ an awesome place!

What about Calaiden?? My friend made that up, and she thinks it sounds Irish. She would be "honored" if you used it in your story. Also, a male Irish name I love is Brennan. That's my friends little brother's name. Brennan means sorrow in Gaelic. Also, I think Brennan goes well with the last name Connelly.

Hey. This is the creator of the name Calaiden...thanx for the compilment. And yeah, it has a meaning, it's kinda garbled Elvish and Gaelic..."Beautiful Little Fire." tell me if you're interested in any other names along the lines...i'm in the midst of a novel-writing, and i have TONS.
