Re: Tsarmina
in reply to a message by Theodora'sMommy
I'm guessing he made it up, some combination of Tsar/Tsarina, and names like Wilhelmina/Evangeline.
I actually loved those books as a kid, read most of them. I remember he did a lot of names that were smushes or slight variations on real names: Mattimeo, Triss, Asmodeus, Samkim, Pasque, Russa, Tamello. But that's pretty standard for fantasy/fictional universe books. Lord of the Rings, Tamora Pierce, Star Wars, etc.
I have the association of the character, so probably wouldn't use it. There are nicer names. I would even consider using Caesar or Zara for a cat but not Tsarina/Tsarmina.
