That's it.
It's driving me crazy.
She's got to have a name.
What's her name?!
It's got to be dorky, yet elegant.
Firm, but flexible
Assertive, but open to change.
Ayo. It's West African for "Joy."
Good meaning, and brings to mind a certain-looking kind of girl.
I announce Ayo as a contender for her name.
Let's see if I can beat that....
Basha. It's Swahili for "Act Of God"
I'm liking the sounds of the more foreign or exotic names.
Nothing is set, let's keep searching.
Dalia. It means "Gentleness in her soul"
I don't mean to keep going by meaning, but if Richard sees her beyond her skin then that's where I've got to start too.
The meaning of her name is vital.
It's her essence that Richard has fallen for.
Emma might work.
It means: "Universal."
Farah means Joy (again), Gita means "song", Hope, oddly, means "Trust"...
Isoke has a very interesting meaning. It means: "A SATISFYING gift from God"
Janna means "Heaven"
Katherine is pure.
Layla is the evening star.
Marcia is brave.
Nanette is the "little, graceful one"
Oni.... oooOOOooooo.... "Born in sacred space"
Pia: Faithful
Renee: Reborn
Serena: Calm
Talia: Blooming
Ulani: Heavy Rain
Verena: Truth
Wendy: Cause I personally like Peter Pan
No way in hell I'm going with Xena
Yalena: Light
Zukisa: Be patient.
Did I skip the letter "C"?
I did.
Shit, I skipped Q, too.
Ok.
Cressida means "The Golden One"
and
Querida means "The Loved One"
I suppose it's important to note that it's important to spend time with every single little part of whatever I'm going to write, even character names.
I still don't know what her name is, but it's one of the names on this list.
