oh and i also thought that it kinda sounded like a name of a hogwarts student
it's not a normal name (at least to my knowledge) but it's not a completely different name.
it sounds very english but yet not really muggle english.

I really thought that name was pretty, and it also means "she" in spanish.

I like the name Ella too. By the way, I love that book!!!!

Anyways, my HOL name, Parvati, is the name of a Hindu goddess (and after Parvati Patil of course!). I just picked it because I thought it was a cool name and different. You don't really come across that name too often! /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

I just happened to be studying Romeo and Juliet when I joined. Yes it's that interesting. And Sirius is my favourite Hp character. I couldn't think of any other good constellation names... my real name is Kristen, but I hear enough of that.

i chose my name after two characters Angelina Johnson and Cedric Diggory...Angelina 'cause i love names that start with "A" (don't ask me why i just find them attractive)and also the fact that she's in the Gryffindor quiditch team wich i find really cool that there are girls who play and really good....and i really liked Cedric and all the things he did and i really imagine him being a cute guy /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

my real name's Angelica... i dont like it... i grew up thinking my name was Angel because all my family called me that. u can imagine my surprise when people started calling me Angelica in the 5th grade when i moved to a new school. i mean, i HATED it... i wasn't used to it...
and then i loved the -LYN at the end of names so i just connected it to my name: Angelyn...
Brielle is the name i chose for my first daughter.. it's french for a certain goddess (that i can't remember the name of at the moment)

so that is the history of my name.... toodles noodles!

My name (Maggie McGravin) has absolutely nothing to do with my muggle backround...I originally chose the the Lily McGravin, but when I was trying to sign up for that, I screwed up, and found that Maggie would be a really cool name.

hehehe I like it!

I chose my first name after the Latin word for Moon : Selenae. I made sure ist sounded "male", by turning it to Selenus.

For my last name it was easier I took my real name and spelt it in the most ancient way (Germanic origin) : Adal (bright) and Berth (noble). The real name I bear is a French evolution of this, maybe with a Norse variation as it is very common in Normandy.

the 'll' sound in 'ella' is pronounced like a y in english. so the word isn't actually like the name. (you may know this already) personally i think the name Ella is much prettier than the spanish ella (pronounced more like "aeya" in english...actually that's not phonetically accurate but not many people would know how to pronounce the vowels like linguists do). anyway...this is not the point. i really mean so say that i like the name Ella!

Lyndsie Fenele · Post by **Lyndsie Fenele** » Wed Jan 22, 2003 4:37 am

well, i don't like to admit it, but my full and correct name is terrible. i was named Erimentha Rianna Fenele. Erimentha is Greek for 'collector of thoughts; determined protector' and Rianna is Welsh or something for 'sweet basil; virtuous'. i don't know why my parents thought that Erimentha was a good name, but i hate it, so i started using the name Lyndsie for no reason other than that it sounds normal. coincidentally, there are a lot of plant references in my name. Lyndsie (as a variation of Lyndsay) means 'linden trees near the water' and Fenele could be considered a variation on the herb fennel (though it's pronounced with the second e long and the last silent; like Faneel, not fanelly).
