Re: Penny
in reply to a message by RDNZL
It's a word name but Peninsula was one I came up with once for a character. She was a hobbit named Peninsula nn Penny. Peninsula is a pretty word that I associate with beautiful places.
Mildly related, not pertinent, only read if interested in the ramblings of someone who is homesick:As a kid I would visit the Olympic Peninsula in Washington at least once a year. In middle school we were visiting every weekend to see my grandparents. It is a beautiful place that is largely made up of State Forests and Parks, and National Parks and Forests. The Olympic mountain range is beautifully serene with many waterfalls and small clear blue lakes. The temperate Hoh rainforest is the wettest place in the continental US and it looks like Fangorn Forest. The open ocean is near the Hoh and it is a savage rocky coast with many sea stacks. But on the opposite side of the mountains you have the more gentle Hood Canal and the Salish Sea, protected by the mountains they don't get much rain compared to the rest of Western WA. The Hood Canal and all of the inlets are full of oysters.Much more than Seattle I miss the rainforest and other forests, the meadows, the mountains, the ocean, the seas and canals, the rivers, and lakes. WA state is the most beautiful place I've ever been. BC and OR are close seconds. Cascadia as whole is an amazing area. Living in Chicago has been easier to do without owning a car but living in a big city doesn't quite feel right to me. Not living in Cascadia doesn't feel right.
