Wed, Jul. 26th, 2006 23:02Je pense vaguement à changer le nom d'Ashram. J'ai trop de persos qui commencent par "A"; Alizea, Ashram, Askerian, Ashriel, Astaroth, Asmodée, Azrael. C'est probablement vaguement confusationnant pour le lecteur. Je peux pas changer les trois derniers parce qu'ils sont bibliques, et le nom d'Ashriel est en lien direct avec celui d'Ashram -- Ashriel, mère d'Ashram et Uriel. (faudra que je change Uriel aussi de toute manière) -- donc il changerait aussi au final.
En plus ça m'a toujours légèrement emmerdée d'être super contente de moi pour avoir inventé le nom Ashram, et d'apprendre ensuite qu'il y a un perso avec ce nom dans Chroniques de la Guerre de Lodoss. At en je sais plus quelle langue, un ashram est un lieu de retraites spirituelles (ce qui me fait bien marrer). Au moins Askerian est plus original, et puis vu qu'il est introduit longtemps après, la confusion devrait pas être aussi facile à faire.
Quoique pendant longtemps les seuls noms en A c'est Ash et Alizea, alors est-ce que c'est vraiment la peine... *réfléchit réfléchit*
enfin bon, j'aime bien les noms celtiques, mais si vous avez des suggestions, c'est pas obligé d'être des vrais noms non plus. Si ça pouvait être un nom se terminant en -ram ou -riam, pas trop de syllabes, ça serait génial. ;_;

I'm sort of thinking about changing the name of my mary-sue's boyfriend. Right now, it's Ashram, but i have too many characters whose name starts in "A"; Alizea, Ashram, Askerian, Ashriel, Astaroth, Asmodée, Azrael. It's probably confusing for the reader. I can't change the last three names because they're biblical names. Ashriel being Ashram's mother, her name starting in Ash- is purely because Ashram's name starts in Ash-. It's a tradition in their clan to name the male children partly after their mother. So if Ashram changes, Ashriel would automatically change with it.
On top of that, I was always slightly buggered by being so content of myself I was when I invented Ashram's name, and then learning that it already was the name of a guy in Records of Lodoss War. And in I forget which tongue, an ashram is a place for spiritual retreats (which kind of cracks me up). At least Askerian is more original, and since he's introduced a long while later, it shouldn't be as easy to mix him up with the first two.
Though for along while the only "A" names are Ash and Alizea, so is it really worth it... *ponder ponder*
Anyway, I like celtic names, but if you have suggestions, they don't need to be real preexisting names. If it could end in -ram or -riam, and not too many syllables, it would be awesome. ;_;
For the record, Ashram is a redhead, very foul mouthed, loves fighting, drinking, laughing with people, laughing AT people, good with a sword, and has fire magic and sorcery. He comes across as a rough guy, but he's a decent person underneath. Fair, and frank to the point of aggressiveness. (my god, so cliche. typical "bad guy your parents warned you about, but not so bad deep down~ blargh. XDD but if I up the bloodshed quota until it really disturbs Zea, it should be more interesting.)
