• Antithesis – no idea why, just like it as a word.
• Callista – It’s Greek and means ”most beautiful”. I checked the HoP user lists, it’s not been used before…. Not many Greek speakers about I s’pose. But then people might think you’re a big Ally McBeal fan. So maybe not…. Also works with Kallisto – which is the same word spelt different. These ancient Greeks were tricky like that…
• Balsam – one of the minstrels from Cantus’ band on Fraggle Rock. Balsam looks like vaguely like an armadillo and seems to be rather dim-witted. He plays the bongo drums.
• Brio – ok at this stage I should point out that I get a lot of my names from characters on Fraggle Rock. As is evinced in my choice of this one. Another minstrel from cantus’ band. Only 1 more band member to go….
• Brool – ooh from the band too…What are the chances.... You’re not liking these are you? I can tell…. Well worry not I’m sure it can’t get any worse… oh by the way, Brool is very large, green and monster-like, plays a string instrument not unlike a double bass…
• Cotterpin - a slightly rebellious and stubborn young Doozer, one of the few (and perhaps only) Doozers who regularly interacts with Fraggles…

• Chrysanthe – more Greek. It means Golden Flower. If nothing else you’re getting a good grounding in Greek…. Let’s try Latin next…
• Fausta – it’s Latin for auspicious or lucky…Sounds pretty I thought… No? Ok how about:
• Eibhlin - Which is Irish and comes (by a very convoluted route) from an ancient Germanic word for bird… It’s pronounced Aveleen…you’re not looking convinced… ok
• Sadh – pronounced Siev… Means "sweet, goodly" in Irish Gaelic. I can see the downside to it already… ok well keep trying…
• Cliodhna – Possibly means "shapely" in Irish Gaelic. “In Irish legend this was the name of a beautiful goddess. She fell in love with a mortal named Ciabhan and left the Land of Promise with him”. And like all these tales, it doesn’t end well for either of them… Ok last two
• Delyth – which I think is welsh for pretty. If it’s not and it means dog poo or something don’t be cross. I learn all my welsh from watching S4C (welsh channel 4) and usually all I get to say is telling people that the news is on later, or that it’s football on after the break…
• Æðelflæd – Which I think is a great name, Mostly because it’ll be good watching people trying to pronounce it (although I think it’s really easy…but that’s probably just me). It’s Anglo-Saxon. And if you’ve spotted the theme running through many of the suggestions above then you’ll most likely know what it means already

Mysterious has a ring to it or Secret

There's already a HoPper called Mysterio... bit too close I think...

Granted he doesn't post much. But i reckon if you mention his name enough he's bound to turn up....

LEGION - for you will have many a name...

Has been done. Was all a bit nasty, and i'd prefer not to be reminded of him if it's all the same to you...


By the way, my favourite bit of this entire thread is the fact that Brit_Joe has managed to spell wrong
I know i shouldn't giggle. But sometimes it's so hard not too...

I think Callista is doomed whichever way it's spelt cause i'm an Ally McBeal fan if i choose that and apparently a Xena fan if i choose Kallisto, so maybe not...

but...how good was Xena! So much better than turdy Hurcules...ok im done now

Keep your name, but in a new disguise...

Find out how to say "un-named" in several languages, and choose the coolest sounding one...

Have had a look and it's quite cool in spanish but alas spanish or not it's still not a name! i may reconsider it as it does sound cool..

thank you for the effort princess but for me those are a bit too masculine sounding or me... especially the 'HE who laughs' one but thanks anyway!

Dave while this joke of me bring a bringer of destruction whenever i have a staff in my hand is hilarlious, you should know that i'm not gonna pick any names that relate to it as until Play i was not like that and i blame you entirely for being plagued with this staff curse! AND i haven't had any staff related accidents since Play either which further points to some sort of staff meddling on your part! ... i'm kidding i was just feeling the festival atmosphere, i think being barefoot all festival went to my head and spurred a crazed staff frenzie!
