Speaking of interchangable names, I once had an Awana kid whose mother had told him that his name, Josiah, meant the same thing as Jesus. So, everywhere he saw Jesus, in the verses he was supposed to memorize, he replaced it with Josiah. He wasn't too happy when I told him we weren't doing that.
I've read some books where the names didn't fit the characters, as evidenced by the fact that I cannot remember what those names were. It was hard to finish the book, because either I couldn't pronounce the name - or it was just so wrong for the way the character acted.
It pays to spend some time thinking that part of the writing process through, no? A disappointed reader is a non-returning one....
On another note: my girlfriend named her son JOB, but they spell is JOEB - that way he doesn't have to go through life as a job.
And if Scarlett had remained Pansy, I wonder if we would still call someone who was weak or effeminate a pansy. LOL
Rachel, interesting to think about that.
Mary-Louise, your friend is asking for trouble. All I can say is WHAT? LOL
I like the name Josiah. Didn't know that about it!
