Day 1

Everyone naming their goats is making me wonder something...

Do you ever wonder about your own names? Like...where they came from?

I mean, I'm Scottish, but my last name is French. And I don't even know what Xion is supposed to be. Sometimes I wonder what my parents were even thinking when they called me that.

...

You don't think very far ahead for a Slytherin.

Lyrl is the masculinized form of Lyrissa, the name of a deceased friend of my mother's.

Well, for a Hufflepuff... you haven't given much thought to your goat's emotional well being, have you?
faintwaves: ([Curious] Aren't you coming?)

[personal profile] faintwaves 2012-09-14 10:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Honesty and fair play doesn't relate to emotions or goats.

And suddenly you're an expert on animals? Mr. "I run screaming from the thought of taking care of even a flobberworm".
bonafide_divinity: (We've been around a long time)

[personal profile] bonafide_divinity 2012-09-14 11:24 pm (UTC)(link)
No, but loyalty might.

And I did not run screaming from the idea of flobberworms. There was no room for Care of Magical Creatures.

[euuuggghh... Flobberworms]

If I'm being completely honest, Xion is better than Melvin.
allamericanreject: (uwah?)

Well I dont really wonder about my name? It sounds pretty run of the mill for an American. Alfred Jones? Xion sounds like something out of the bible or something though if I'm being honest.

...Right.

I'm only loyal to people I know and have earned it.

[Yeah she fully recognizes a guilt trip tactic when she sees it. Pick it up, man, she's had 15 years of it.]

We can call it Tulip if it's a girl.
faintwaves: ([Excited] IT'S SO FLUFFYYYYY!)

[personal profile] faintwaves 2012-09-15 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
...I need to see one for real next holiday.

I mean

How do the Muggles fit the music in there????
faintwaves: ([Off-center] Oops down I go--)

John

Jooooohn



J O H N


........I can't really think of anything special about it either. Although Egbert does sound like eggs.
faintwaves: ([Blush] What a feeling)

[personal profile] faintwaves 2012-09-15 04:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, then it's a tribute.

[Or a curse of some kind, but nobody ever fed her superstitions about naming a child after a deceased one, so--]

It sounds like "lyric" too.
faintwaves: ([Blush] O H . . .)

[personal profile] faintwaves 2012-09-15 04:32 pm (UTC)(link)
...I'm almost 99% certain that people pronounce Melvin correctly, though.
fuckmackandme: (23)

[personal profile] fuckmackandme 2012-09-15 04:32 pm (UTC)(link)
it probably has something to do with dad's baking obsession.
faintwaves: ([Curious] Aren't you coming?)

[personal profile] faintwaves 2012-09-15 04:33 pm (UTC)(link)
...Bible?

That's Muggle literature, isn't it?

I like Alfred Jones, it sounds like an adventurer.
donutsanddestiny: (wait... I mean...)

[personal profile] donutsanddestiny 2012-09-15 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I do pronounce your name correctly!
faintwaves: (pic#)

[personal profile] faintwaves 2012-09-15 04:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Then he's descended from a line of bakers?

...But I thought people were usually called "Baker" in that case.
faintwaves: ([Unsure] Right....we'll go with that)

[personal profile] faintwaves 2012-09-15 04:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh...I wasn't just talking about you...although it's not shy-on, it's shee-on.
donutsanddestiny: (curious)

[personal profile] donutsanddestiny 2012-09-15 04:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, I see.

But I do say shee-on! I fully recognize that pronunciation. [That is totally what he thinks in his head right before saying shy-on.]
fuckmackandme: (17)

[personal profile] fuckmackandme 2012-09-15 04:45 pm (UTC)(link)
my family is also a long line of pranksters, so...
faintwaves: ([Unsure] Who's there...?)

[personal profile] faintwaves 2012-09-15 04:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I suppose it's closer than the people that pronounce it as though there's a zed in it. [She gives up.]
faintwaves: ([Stare] that's just like ur opinion man)

[personal profile] faintwaves 2012-09-15 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
...So...having the name Egbert is their longest lasting prank?
donutsanddestiny: (why yes i'm awesome)

[personal profile] donutsanddestiny 2012-09-15 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, see? There you go. I'm amazing.
faintwaves: ([Stare] He's not here today...)

[personal profile] faintwaves 2012-09-15 04:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, well...

I like Melvin as a name, anyway. It sounds very smart.
donutsanddestiny: (curious)

[personal profile] donutsanddestiny 2012-09-15 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
You think so?
faintwaves: ([Unsure] Right....we'll go with that)

[personal profile] faintwaves 2012-09-15 05:02 pm (UTC)(link)
I just said, didn't I?
