Okay, so here's the part I'm looking at in my book I'm writing. I just wrote this last night:

"Now, the feast may begin," he said, and an entire feast appeared in front of us. Mirage had also been assigned this house, and so she sat by me. However, a girl who particularly caught my attention was a girl who seemed very quiet. She sat across from me.
"Hi," I said. I do not know whether she heard me over the noise, but she looked up anyway. At that moment, I caught a glimpse of her crystal clear green eyes. No smile touched her lips, but I could see that she was not unhappy. After that glimpse, she looked down again, and I would talk to her no sooner than the next day. I took some food from the nearest platters onto my silver plate and began eating. The feast was delicious, and was over sooner than I wished it to be.

Okay, now here's the thing. I need a name for the green eyed girl. She's the daughter of Gaia (the goddess) and some other random god that really doesn't exist. She's a night goddess, patrolling over the stars. The main character is Moone. Maybe you should know the atmosphere in which she was met: It's a darkish room, the sort of dark after sunset but before it gets dark, lit by candles only. It's in a great hall, after they've been sorted into houses. Mirage is Moone's best friend. For more info, i'll have this whole story up (or what I have of it) up on my website, which I have a link to on my avi... you know what i'm talking about.

And I almost forgot. The opinion I need is whether or not there should be someone "evil" about her... like... I don't know. Just give me some opinions on what you think I should actually do with her as a character.

......... thanks, cuz i didn't think of that, lol. I don't know!!!!! I think I want it to be Maye or Skye, but Skye is the name of someone I REALLY have got somethin against. and besides, Skye sounds like............ not a night goddess. it'll probably be Maye. But then again.... gah. now I need an opinion on the small plot for her....

Baby name books/sites are always wonderful.

Meadow works. Pick the name that fits her character. You know her better than any of us. Never doubt your own naming skills.

I don't mean this in a bad way, but this totally reminded me of Harry Potter. Feast+great hall+houses.

Du~de, Waffles is right~! And, remember, pull a suzumiya haruhi and make the evil people cheerful, social, and generally likeable characters. Right now, quiet+negative=cliche for me. Also, that evil-at-first-glance-secretly-good thing is so Harry Potter.

See, i don't wanna make her evil, cuz i'm growing to like who she is. not that i know much right now. i tend to get to know my characters better as i write about them.

and one more thing. The whole great hall, houses thingy is actually more boarding school thing. so i'm good. ^-^

For your book...well, you'll need some freaky names xd let's see. Starre? It's a bit strippery, but you already have lesbians, so why not. Whisper? Stella?

It is SO MUCH EASIER when you name all the gods yourself :XP:

And watch that the whole thing doesn't turn out like a really elaborate harry potter rewrite rofl
