http://www.strangelittleband.com/bbpress/ Chatter and cavorting occasionally regarding the online serial Strange Little Band en Fri, 10 Feb 2012 04:44:00 +0000 http://www.strangelittleband.com/bbpress/topic/ashlynn-harris-whats-in-a-name/page/2#post-261 Mon, 05 Oct 2009 12:02:20 +0000 nancy 261@http://www.strangelittleband.com/bbpress/ <p>I totally missed Anna's name post from a few days ago. Vanessa replied: "I'm going to plead Mommy Memory Loss on this one. I can't really remember who chose Jake."</p> <p>IIRC, I suggested Nicholas or Jacob, and Vanessa picked Jacob. </p> <p>Anna, you're right about the rest of the names. :) </p> http://www.strangelittleband.com/bbpress/topic/ashlynn-harris-whats-in-a-name/page/2#post-257 Mon, 05 Oct 2009 09:43:12 +0000 vanessa 257@http://www.strangelittleband.com/bbpress/ <p>Actually, when I was researching names (gah! really! research!), I found it listed as a variation of Aisling. Gotta love those baby name books. I considered keeping it Aisling, but realized that Addison really wouldn't do that. </p> http://www.strangelittleband.com/bbpress/topic/ashlynn-harris-whats-in-a-name#post-256 Sun, 04 Oct 2009 18:07:59 +0000 a.m.harte 256@http://www.strangelittleband.com/bbpress/ <p>It's cool to Anglicize Gaelic names, if only because it makes them more easily pronounceable (and I'm half-Irish so I'm allowed to say that!).</p> <p>My cousin for example is called Shivaun instead of having it spelt the ridiculous Gaelic way. </p> http://www.strangelittleband.com/bbpress/topic/ashlynn-harris-whats-in-a-name#post-242 Sat, 03 Oct 2009 09:03:20 +0000 Elisabeth 242@http://www.strangelittleband.com/bbpress/ <p>Glad its based off of the gaelic/irish form Aisling... other wise its Ashley and Lyn together which are traditionally boys names and together would mean Ash tree clearing &amp; lake. lol sorry i really like etymology! </p> <p>But dream, vision as her name? What went on during her pregnancy? We know from Daniel she ran away, wonder if it was more than just getting away from Daniel? </p> http://www.strangelittleband.com/bbpress/topic/ashlynn-harris-whats-in-a-name#post-226 Sat, 03 Oct 2009 07:31:19 +0000 vanessa 226@http://www.strangelittleband.com/bbpress/ <p>I'm going to plead Mommy Memory Loss on this one. I can't really remember who chose Jake. Daniel was my little pet, though it was Nancy who found a last name for him. (Smith, Jones and "the Ass" just didn't quite work.) </p> http://www.strangelittleband.com/bbpress/topic/ashlynn-harris-whats-in-a-name#post-222 Fri, 02 Oct 2009 21:30:10 +0000 a.m.harte 222@http://www.strangelittleband.com/bbpress/ <p>That makes me wonder.. who picked character names out of the two of you?</p> <p>I'm guessing Nancy chose Shane, and Vanessa chose Addison, but as for the rest?</p> <p>My guess is Vanessa chose Daniel and Nancy chose Jake. </p> http://www.strangelittleband.com/bbpress/topic/ashlynn-harris-whats-in-a-name#post-204 Mon, 28 Sep 2009 11:17:04 +0000 nancy 204@http://www.strangelittleband.com/bbpress/ <p>Weird coincidence! </p> http://www.strangelittleband.com/bbpress/topic/ashlynn-harris-whats-in-a-name#post-203 Mon, 28 Sep 2009 10:17:09 +0000 vanessa 203@http://www.strangelittleband.com/bbpress/ <p>Speaking of Ashlynn, here's something else:</p> <p>My daughter forced me to watch Barbie Thumbelina (I'm no longer chewing my nails and gibbering like a loon). There was a character named Ashlynn (the "nemesis" of the other main character who wasn't Thumbelina). </p> <p>Well, here's an image: <a href="http://eunicelo.com/images/3D/ashlyn.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://eunicelo.com/images/3D/ashlyn.jpg</a></p> <p>Preteen Ashlynn? Have the animators of the Barbie stuff been reading SLB? </p>
