Re: Hecate & FamilySaga
Okay, let's see...From your lists I like:
Fay
Hollis
Catherine
Eleanor
Stella
AlexandraI especially like Fay and Hollis, now that I think about it. Hollis is on my PNL but I just tend to overlook it sometimes.Paul
Riordan (Funny, I just added this to my PNL last night!)
John
Alexander
Nathan / Nathaniel (I never can decide which one I prefer, but I'm leaning toward Nathaniel at the moment)
Henry
I think of the five, Callahan is my favorite surname, but I also like Sauvage a lot. How about Sauvage as a married name and Drury as a maiden name? Or Callahan as married and Sauvage as maiden? On the other hand, Eastgate might be a better fit since it seems like we have more Irish and English names on our lists and Sauvage sounds more French...then again, we also have Anais and Celeste.So for DH and DW names, do we select from our list or choose names that aren't on it? I tend to think of these all as baby names so I figure we'd go for something a little different for the parents, but I don't really have a preference. Well, here's a couple of ideas to start with:Nathaniel James Callahan / Sutherland
Ethan John Callahan / Sutherland
Ethan Xavier Callahan / Sutherland
Curtis Vaughn Eastgate
Austin Xavier SauvageEleanor Yvonne Sauvage (Actually, I probably would have added Yvonne to my initial list, but it slipped my mind)
Yvonne Louisa Sauvage
Louise Aimee Sauvage
Joanna Grace DruryOf these I think I like Yvonne Louisa Sauvage best, with Ethan John Callahan or Sutherland, but I'd love to hear other ideas.

Hmmm,I really like Joanna Grace Drury, I think it flows very well! We could change Joanna to Helena (He-LAY-na) so we can use a name from our lists.
I prefer the other 3 surnames over Callahan for DH. Maybe we could use Ethan John Sauvage, Ethan Jude Sutherland, Lucas Xavier Eastgate or something like that!

Helena Grace Drury would be perfect! Particularly since Joanna Drury is a little too hard on the J and Dr- sounds. As for DH, I love all those combos, but I think Ethan John Sauvage is my favorite. What do you think?

Helena Grace Drury & Ethan John Sauvage! Should we give them ages? Mid 20s would be nice...

Sure! I'm thinking maybe 23 (Helena) and 25 (Ethan). How does that sound?Anything else we should work out before finishing up?

Should we make a few combos? I'd like to use Magdalene or Nathaniel for their first child.

I always liked the sound of Magdalene Anais. Not sure how I feel about it with Sauvage, though, since it ends with S. But it's a possibility.Magdalene Anais Sauvage
Magdalene Wren Sauvage (I think this flows much better than Magdalene Anais)
Magdalene Eleanor Sauvage
Magdalene Kerensa Sauvage
Magdalene Stella SauvageNathaniel Riordan Sauvage
Nathaniel Ezra Sauvage
Nathaniel Eamonn Sauvage
I also tend toward William, Lucia or Melaina for their first child. Let's see...William Nathaniel Sauvage
William Stellan Sauvage
William Ezra Sauvage
William Lucas SauvageLucia Magdalene Sauvage
Lucia Celeste Sauvage
Lucia Kerensa SauvageMelaina Catherine Sauvage
Melaina Wren Sauvage
Melaina Fay SauvageBy the way, I'm using the Italian pronunciation for Lucia, Lu-CHEE-a. Is that what you use? I don't mind Lu-SEE-a, and LU-sha doesn't work with as many middle names, but LU-sha would be my second favorite pronunciation.

Magdalene Anais Sauvage is great! I don't mind the "s" part because in real life the middle name isn't used often and I don't think it ruins the flow. I also like Melaina Fay & Lucia Magdalene / Magdalen Lucia. I like all pronunciations for Lucia. Lu-CHEE-a is fine.
For a boy I like Nathaniel Riordan and Lucas William / William Lucas. What about Nathaniel Jude?
vote up1
Magdalene Anais it will be, then! You do have a point there. I usually reserve Jude for first names, that's why I didn't list it, but it does work well with Nathaniel.
vote up1
Maybe Jude Nathaniel? Well, we don't have to decide that now, we don't even know if they'll ever have a son :P

I have to say, I like that better. But yes, we could have plenty of time to figure it out!

FINISHED!Ok, then! Finished!
