About my deer...

Spyrre's picture
...just pondering, would it be too late after this time to change my deer´s name?
Because I´m very un-imaginative, almost every character of mine in every game I log in is named "Spyrre", and it´s been bothering me a while. She shares many features with an old character of mine on which my user-name is based on, but seems like she´s not really a deer-version of him anyway... My deer wasn´t supposed to be very much a "character" anyway orginally, but now since she´s developed enough personality to have a biography and to even be played in few RP:s, it would feel better if she had her "own" name, wouldn´t it?

So, after all this useless pondering, two questions:
Should I bother change her name or not?
And if I should, what I should call her?
I know that it´s really up to myself, but I´m asking this from you all because if I think this just by myself to deside whether or not, I will probably end up doing nothing even though it bothers me.

Since I suck at thinking up names, I would also appreciate suggestions for her name, if someone is kind enough to share some. All I can think of are probably lame Finnish words, like "Risu" (=means literally a stick or a small treebranch, which her smallish antlers somehow reminds me of ^^; ) or "Viima" (=small breeze of wind) or stuff like that, but they just sound so stupid somehow. This is just the very reason to why so many of my "characters" are named the same way... <_<

I shall be deleting this blog later...
Thank you for everyone who may bother to comment and help me to deside what to do. <3

I'm not sure, but if you do

I'm not sure, but if you do end up changing the name, Risu has a very nice ring to it!

It's really up to you on

It's really up to you on whether or not you want to change her name.
How about you go and look for some, and if you find something you really like, change it?

I kinda like the name Turlington, but Spyrre has really grown on me...
Ravyn and Spyrre are really good friends in-game, you know? Maybe she could have a nick name, or a real name no one knows about? Hm. (:

Here is a link you might be interested in, just in case. A lot of the names are really unique.
I doubt they're all American names... That's why I like it. There's a huge variety of stuff.

Terabetha, Hmm. Yeah that´s

Terabetha, Hmm. Yeah that´s the one I like better of those two options too... but still not sure if it would be worth of the trouble.. <_<

Vala, Heh, that´s ok. I´m not going to change my username, atleast of that I´m sure. =)

Ravynn, wow thank you of the link, I shall be checking that one out.... even though the site is very... pink. o__o I wouldn´t want her something very girly though, rather something that would potray her somehow.
"Spyrre" has really stuck on me too over all the time, that´s probably one of the reasons I´m so hesistant to make decisions about changing it.. Not sure if "Turlington" would fit her though. It sounds quite... masculine. =D
Yeah, she has become quite attached to Ravyn too, even though she was a bit intimidated by her at first... They haven´t seen each other for a while now, though. =/
Hm, the idea of the nic-name or "secret" real name is also a good idea, I´m just not sure how it would work..
Reyy's picture

Yeah. It is really pink now

Yeah. It is really pink now that you mention it... Haha.
As for the name, it was worth a try. Just a random one I decided to post. (:

I've been going in-game less and less. That's probably why.

Well, it's just an idea. Maybe it could be something only her good friends know? But that's only if you want her to have another name... She'll always be Spyrre to me, though. (:

I've been going in-game less and less. That's probably why.

Ah, too bad, Spyrre would love to meet Ravynn again. My game´s been acting weird also now, like freezing and not connecting today and yesterday... I hope it´s going to fix itself soon. <_<

I like the idea of the secret name, but since she doesn´t really remember her past (could be that she doesn´t even have one, haven´t desided yet) it would feel a bit strange. Also, it wouldn´t probably be in her personality to keep something like that as a secret. Maybe a nic-name would be better, though her present name is also something she just desided to call herself. *shrug*

She'll always be Spyrre to me, though. (:

Heh, that´s allright, since she´s been called that "all her life", I should have thought up a different name to begin with. ^^; It just instantly reminds me of my other character (who´s name I also don´t like XD ) so maybe I´ll just end up shaking my fist at her name from time to time, but not bothering to change it, really... ^^;

Also, whoa, I just learned to use quotes here! =D

I'll probably be happy with

I'll probably be happy with anything you come up with. I'll think of some names if you want. ^^

Saosin, That would be very

Saosin, That would be very helpful, thank you! <3
I´m not sure if I´m doing anything after all, but if I do in future, I´d love to have some good names to choose from. =)

I find this site really

I find this site really helpful. I don't usually like using the baby-names site, but there's a 'rare names' section and a few of them are really pretty.
It's nice taking one and trying to adapt it a little too :>

I really like the name

I really like the name Spyrre, it's very original and suites her... But I can understand if you want to give her another name. I doubt her 'spyrre' name would ever disappear from those who've known her - you - though (;

Custard, Thank you, that site

Custard, Thank you, that site looks also very good... I´ll have to look into it! Some names look quite nice at first glance... just wondering maybe they´d be a little too "fancy" for her. Hmm.

Dag, heh, that could be the case if I end up doing something... She´d probably end up having 2 names then. ^^; Sounds like I´m only one who´s mostly bothered her current name, then? Hm.

Hey! This is random I

Hey! This is random Laughing out loud I started playing Endless Forest today. Came on to the forum and saw your username on the "Users Online". We used to be next door neighbours on Elfwood about a million years ago! In fact we technically still are: http://www.elfwood.com/Gallery_Fantasy_and_Scifi_Art.0.458.html !

Whoa, I forgot to delete this blog after all... XD

marblekittykat, Haha, what a coincidence! Well, I´m logged in almost everywhere with a same name, so... ^^; I think I remember you... Welcome to the Forest then, hope you enjoy the game! I have been caught on to it for a while myself now. =D

I know... I'm sick of it

I know... I'm sick of it myself :l

I've had this one for a few months now though, the doe Ravyn was helping me make. I've been planning her out for a while, experimenting. Now I've just been waiting for 3 weeks for a pictogram which she can use, no luck so far though... xD
J!n's picture

Maybe you should try sticking

Maybe you should try sticking to a character you make? It'll get more interesting once the deer starts making friends and all. Or maybe not, but it's as interesting as it'll get.
I kinda liked that doe's first name a lot though. :>
Custard's picture

Starling? Hm, me too... I'll

Starling? Hm, me too... I'll try hard, I promise. People must be so sick of it too and obviously don't want to make too close a relation to my deer. Buut I guess hearing what other people think about it, whether good or bad, seems to help a lot for some reason.

It's weird though, even though she's quite a simple character I'm quite excited about playing her. The wait for a pictogram is killing me, since I wanted one that preferably hadn't been used for a character before. Hm... sorry for my rambling in your blog, Spyrre. rofl

Yeah. Ahh, but I love her

Yeah. Ahh, but I love her picto, it fits so well. I don't think it matters really, to me at least..
Sorry, Spyrre. ♥

Which pictogram? I think I

Which pictogram? I think I might have given it away since I didn't use it... or not.
I'm not sure which one I used :v

I'm so stupid roflll. I had totally forgotten about it. I guess I'll go dig that out from somewhere and start using it ó__o

Hehe, no problem, atleast you

Hehe, no problem, atleast you two put this thing in a good use. =D

"Shorty" <3
There´s some lovely names too, and I like the "Shorty"-one, though it doesn´t sound like being her "real" name. I´ll put these up somewhere though it seems like I´ll be too hesistant/lazy to actually DO anything to this matter anyway... But feel free to call her like that, I´m pretty sure that she´s not the type to be even offended for being called short. XD
Thanks for your troubles Saosin. =)

My favorite of the names are

My favorite of the names are Tintin and Ruby, I think they fit her the most.. Shorty does sound like a nice nickname. :> No problem. I'll probably like whatever you decide.

I really like Tintin too, it

I really like Tintin too, it would suit her nicely.
I love Tinker too, as in when someone tinkers/messes with something :)
