Naming (Day?)

On names, changing them, and JD leaving

Points to consider:

  • Initials
  • The meaning of 'Madison'
  • Jesse as first dog
  • Keeping Scott - why, why not
  • Clary and that baggage
  • Author names (keeping MJSC as a pseudonym)
  • Plurality
  • Being weird
  • Meaning of the name as a whole
  • Coming up with names as a writer, all that time on behindthename
  • JD story:
    • Do I start from marriage? From dating? From his mother's death?
    • I should try to keep it from just being a bitch session.
    • But also bring up Jujube losing Zephyr and him.
    • Discussions in the past about him leaving

What text?

  • Could do some Jeff VanderMeer texts? Like, there's Ghost Bird in Southern Reach, and there's the strange bird, and there's Borne who was named almost deliberately...
  • Texts with weird names (esp in 'normal' contexts) that just treat them as normal.
