Re-naming Names (May/June 2010)
In "The Known World," you did a little exercise and found out that some words, like "chichikia," just sound like a bird. In "The Great Spirit Names the Animal People," you read about how certain animals (supposedly) got their names. Now, it's your turn to play the name game. What animals do you think need a name update? What about your siblings, your parents, or your principal? If you're feeling ambitious, you can try to re-name all nine of the Muses. Go crazy!
Funny you should ask... My friends and I give random names to everyone. Not mean ones or anything. There's someone called Xylophone, The Penguin, Avocado, Zucchini, Red, Association, Tuna Salad...
(May 5, 2010 - 3:32 pm)
My granpas nickname is Rattlesnake
(May 22, 2010 - 7:59 pm)
nice... my grandads is Frito
(June 12, 2010 - 5:10 pm)
My grandpas name is Poppy Pete :)
(August 31, 2010 - 9:14 am)
RED ASSOCIATION?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! What, is that person sunburned, bleeding, or do they just wear red a lot?
(June 11, 2010 - 8:27 am)
The names are not relevent most of the time-- sometimes they are and sometimes they are not. No, he did not have a sunburn. That's just his name.
(June 15, 2010 - 11:14 am)
Our names are always random. No purpose at all.
(November 20, 2010 - 11:09 am)
the red hat ladies always wear red hats if that helps. granted they also only wear purple clothes.
(June 19, 2010 - 10:59 am)
Huh?
(July 29, 2010 - 9:03 pm)
you think those are bad? i have a whole Girl Scout troop that calls me the Reincarnation of the Great Purple Pickle!
(July 14, 2010 - 1:09 pm)
now that's bad
(August 18, 2010 - 7:35 pm)
it was my idea though...
(July 20, 2011 - 12:14 am)
hey, my friends and i are the same way. there's riri(short for riri e-darth trank she babe), i am boo(bootsooliners), then there's mel (who is actually mellinash), eoo (eulma darling-but i call her eooie pumkiny) and elton(or sometimes yimshall wipers). there are more, but i can't remember their full names.
(August 18, 2010 - 7:33 pm)
Tuna Salad!?!?! As far as I'm concerned, that IS mean.
(August 29, 2010 - 3:54 pm)
Yeah, my friends and I came up w/ names for like everybody...
(November 27, 2010 - 12:19 pm)
i have a friend named saladman,other than that,you are in the TAX TAXI!!!Get ready to pay your taxes!!!!!
(February 24, 2011 - 2:11 pm)
My name is Oasis. Actually, that is my code name. Don't ask how I thought it up. Or maybe I didn't. So, I'm supposed to say if I like my name. Well, I have a lot of names. I have my Korean name, Chi Hae, My code name, Oasis, and my childhood nickname, Hannah Banana. I have a lot more names, but those were a few examples. Also, I have names I made for people, such as Six Flags. Long story.....
(May 5, 2010 - 7:55 pm)
Oasis...I love that name. It ranks among one of the neatest names I have ever heard, including Phoenix, Valkyrie, and Skye.
(May 8, 2010 - 4:44 pm)
You do know that in mythology a Valkyrie is a vicious clan of warrion women who lived in the arctic and almost took over the world during the ice age, right?
(May 9, 2010 - 4:11 pm)
Ooooh! Have you read the Nicholas Flamel series? It uses all sorts of mythology and that's were I learned Valkyrie! The reference is in the second book... So good...Read it!
My deepest apologies for being off topic.
(May 14, 2010 - 8:11 pm)
Ohhh!
I absolutley LOOOOOOOOVE that series!
Don't tell me what happens in the 4th book:
(*sniffle*) I haven't read it yet.
(July 29, 2010 - 9:08 pm)
Gaah! For Twoleg stuff, that series is GOOD! Although I can't believe Josh is the Necromancer...
(March 30, 2011 - 6:50 am)
Yay!!!! I love Muse partly because it attracts people who read the same books as me!!!!! Join my Warrior Clan at [sorry, no outside links please! --Ed.] and rise to greatness(and the privelidge to join an all-exclusive Wolf Pack)!!!!!
(April 7, 2011 - 9:15 pm)
Awwww no outside links! Well here's the address: [Actually, we won't supply information here for you guys to contact each other on outside sites. Sorry. --Ed.]
(April 7, 2011 - 9:24 pm)
There is also a girl in my class with the name Bird. I wish I had as cool of a name as that, but I'm boring Daniel.
(May 12, 2010 - 9:14 pm)
Valkyries are norse myths.
(May 24, 2010 - 1:46 pm)
Right you are. Valkerie's a neat name...but my code name I love. Kitkat. Hey, wasn't there a movie that came out called Valkerie?
(June 21, 2010 - 10:59 am)
How about Amazon(another vicious clan of warrior women. Greek mythology)? Or Janisa? What about Chita? It's a real name! Example: Chita Rivera starred in Chicago and was the original Anita in West Side Story. Esther rules too. And Natalia.
(June 11, 2010 - 8:48 am)
My sisters name is Natalia. it is italian for Christmas.
(June 23, 2010 - 4:12 pm)
gee, thanks!!!!!!!!
(November 16, 2010 - 7:08 pm)
I knew a little girl named Skye a couple of eons ago...
(November 27, 2010 - 12:21 pm)
my intials are zam.
Idisovered a cool thing about my friendsand I . look!

(July 3, 2010 - 5:01 pm)
I see your point, even though you are a Twoleg. Look!
Sunflash: Skyclan Camp born
Thornclaw: ThunderClan born.
(March 30, 2011 - 6:48 am)
I hate Thornclaw...
(April 7, 2011 - 9:44 pm)
What I randomly call my annoying older cousin is Jelly Bean
(May 7, 2010 - 7:20 pm)
Wow very random, Brett! How'd you make that up?! (Interrobangs!)
(June 29, 2010 - 7:58 pm)
My dog, Fenway, is somtimes called Mr. Neurotic. We also call him Fenwa because my mom had a hard time getting his name on a Christmas stocking, so we cosidered changing his name to Fenwa. He answers to Fenwa, though.
(May 8, 2010 - 3:45 pm)
Now I shall rename everyone in my family, from oldest to youngest. My dad would be called Joseph Scott. My mom would be Claudette Beth. I would be Ana Maple. My 5-year-old sister would be called Erika Bolt. My 2-year-old baby sister would be Meadow Fairy. And now my pets. My dog, named Sascha, would be renamed Abby. (I've always wanted a Doberman named Abby since I played Dog's Life on the PS2.) My birds, Edward and Bella, would be renamed Joe and June. (Randomness!) My fish, Herkey, would be renamed Doofus! (Because he needs directions by a finger to his fish food.) Now the people who don't live in my house. My nana's name would be Libby Ida. My papa's name would be Bill Fred. My aunt's name would be Amy May. There are more people, but my fingers are getting tired. (LOL! I just can't think up any more names right now.)
(May 8, 2010 - 8:43 pm)
My name is zena, but since my middle name is ann, I just combine the 2. zenann. See? There is a kid in my sister's class that is named Jet Charter. Really, that is a weird name. Is his dad a pilot? I don't like my name cuz it's wierd.
(May 9, 2010 - 11:50 am)
Zena, your name is awesome... don't go hating on your name! my name isn't too bad (maya) but i also know a lot of people (the same age) that are named maya... i guess ALL of our parents thought it was "unique".
(May 19, 2010 - 9:25 pm)
Maybe Pwt should be Birdswatte? Three letter words are so last year!
(May 9, 2010 - 12:53 pm)
We call my cat Boomer Fuzzbuttt, but somehow I don't think that counts, I've always believed that his name with his old owners was better, Casey. I would love to know why some names sound right and other don't like my friend Taylor, she should be caller Laura and I called her that for months after I met her or Shelby, who should be Abigale. Somehow, I think the name for worm is just wrong! It sounds too hard, shouldn't it be something more like leekler or shroushen?
(May 9, 2010 - 4:25 pm)
is ur real name silver? if so, AWESOME!
(November 27, 2010 - 12:25 pm)
My agent name is Spectrum. yes. I think that Pwt should be named Tree, feather Chicken, and Chad pwt. Kokopelli, you're fine. And I love my name.
What?? --Chad/Pwt
(May 9, 2010 - 8:21 pm)
I like my name. It's uncommon, though a boy on my street has the same name! I don't think it's spelled the same, but I really don't know. It can be annoying, though, having a m & f name. My teacher thought I was a boy, and called me a "he" (If that seems confusing, I'm a homeschooler, and it was in an online class.) Needless to say, I was very insulted, and I think my teacher felt bad. Plus, it's easy to misspell, and pronounce my name. I've had it spelled Casie, and Cassey before. It's been pronouced like Cassie before too. BTW, it's said like KC, but I bet you could tell. It doesn't sprout nicknames like some, but it's easily shortened to Case. I really like my middle name. It's Marie, nothing really special, but my mom has the same middle name, as do both of my grandmothers and my great grandmother. It's pretty awesome. If I have a girl when I'm grown up, her middle name will be Marie. I like this little tradition. My name doesn't mean anything special, kind of boring, honestly. My initials are CMB, which sort of look pretty on paper, but aren't as cool as my sister's anitials which are RAB. (Like the RAB from Harry Potter. She is way lucky.) I like having a last name that starts with B, 'cause I get to come first in alphebetical order. C is a really cool letter to me. There's middle c on the piano, there's always a c on the answers to a test, (so guess which letter I pick most!) and C is a pretty letter. Well, this post is getting long, and I don't want to go on and on and on and on.
Peace!
Casey M. B.
(May 11, 2010 - 8:08 pm)
I'm a homeschooler in an online class, too! Neat!
(May 16, 2010 - 8:41 am)
Me too! Wouldn't that be awesome if it's the same one? Museds, (Muse+Editors. It's your new title. (-:) are we allowed to share the names of outside programs?
(May 23, 2010 - 8:31 pm)
me 3!
(June 30, 2010 - 11:49 am)
me 4. :)
(July 12, 2010 - 1:35 pm)
Two points:
I knew this girl named Katlyn, but she insisted on being called KC, but she stopped this insistence when everyone said it really slow like this:
KAAAAAYYYYYYY SEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Also, it's scientifically proven that most of the time people choose C out of A,B,C and D.
I know; I'm REALLY annoying.
(July 29, 2010 - 9:24 pm)
first i want to say that i am a homeschooler too, so that is way cool. my name, betsy, is short for elizabeth, luckily. if it wasn't, i'd be BMW like the car (ugh) so i like that i am EMW. so i am always called last for everything-although last year there was a girl in my modern dance class whose last name sterted with z. lucky me.
(August 17, 2010 - 7:53 am)
My initials are RAB too!
(August 29, 2010 - 3:59 pm)
Cool! Ur homeschooled? me too!
(November 27, 2010 - 12:26 pm)
There is also a baseball player on the Milwaukee Brewers with the last name Fielder. So I guess these ARE correct! On the other hand, my name starts with a D, and supposedley that means I am slightly more likely to get Ds, but I am a straight-A student. Just something to think about...
(May 12, 2010 - 9:12 pm)
My friends and i never say the words "hang out." Instead, we BROCHILL. Yes, BROCHILL, is when you chill with your bros
(May 14, 2010 - 8:19 pm)
urania- deus ex perdo (it's latin look it up), chad- professor awesome, kokopelli- batman (of pies!), pwt- what name could be more awesome than PWT?!! it's so awesome it doesn't need vowels or should i say vwls swt!, aeiou- bcdfghjklmnpqrstvwx(smtms "y")z, bo- mcdonald, feather-crraw,crraw feather, mimi- square man(it is your destiny to add a vertex and a side search your feelings you know it be true).
(May 18, 2010 - 9:48 am)
My name is Maya, and my middle name is Rae. i like my name, and even though it would be cool to change it, i have no idea what i would actually change it to... apparently it means mother of all, great, gods creation/gift from god, and illusion.
some names people call me are reabean, myepye, and boomer(dont ask me why)
(May 19, 2010 - 9:34 pm)
U should go by Maya Rea. it's so pretty! my name is boring...
(November 27, 2010 - 12:31 pm)
Have you ever noticed the way authors or TV people name their villains? What makes a name 'evil'? Why is 'Voldemort' (the name) more threatening than... ummm... 'Dobby'? Are any of you people writing novels? If so, what are they about and what/why did you name your villains?
I know the above seems totes random, but I saw another Victoria and wanted to disagree with her statement that our name is boring, and then it evolved into a spazzy digression (look it up). THANK YOU!
(November 28, 2010 - 7:51 pm)
well im glad you like your/my name... I personally feel like it's so... stiff and old fashioned... i like old fashioned stuff, btw, just not stuff like mildred and the like...
(February 8, 2011 - 11:06 am)
Greetings fellow Muses and Musers!
While musing on your excellent question, I thought of the following names:
I will shortly be taking Elizabeth as my Confirmation name (I'm named after St. Anne, mother of Mary, and St. Catherine of Siena.)
I like the name Victoria because I am an anglophile.
Beatrice Westervelt would be my pen name(Beatrice from Much Ado About Nothing, Westervelt because it's my dad's middle name--his mom was Dutch.)
I also like the names Charles, Ian, and Elinor.
And for all you LOTR fans, my hobbit name is Rosie-Posie Hamwich of Buckleberry Fern.
Peace of Pi!
(May 21, 2010 - 6:03 pm)
my middle name is elizabeth. If I could change my name I would change to elizabeth. It's more original and I like the name
(May 23, 2010 - 11:34 am)
What on earth is an "anglophile?"
Someone who loves Britain or British things. --Ed.
(March 6, 2011 - 5:56 pm)
My name is MadGadget (It is really something else, but i'm not telling.) i love gadgets.
(May 24, 2010 - 1:49 pm)
Hi. I'm Owlgirl. I'm obsessed with owls!!!!
:)
(June 24, 2010)
(June 24, 2010 - 1:16 pm)
Oh, I love giving things new names. When I'm tired enough, I'll sometimes just refer to everything and everyone as a banana, or a kitten, or "the bleh". If I'm speaking French, and I don't know a word for something, I'll just say "banane"(Banana) or "chaton" (kitten). Those words were just chosen randomly once, and I've kept using them.
/weirdness.
(May 31, 2010 - 2:08 pm)
Okay! New Muse names!!
Kokopelli: fine, keep your name for all I care. Meh.
Feather: Rutabaga
Urania: also keep your name, it's great.
Aeiou: also, keep your name, it's 5 letters and is wonderful as a username for most things. Not saying that it is, but I pretend I actually have a computer sometimes...
Pwt: *what it sounds like when you spit marbles into the toilet*. Taken from what Pwt says someone else said.
Craaw: Meanie who is secretly in league with the HPBs. (Don't try to protest, I know it's true!!!)
Chad: Mr. Thingamadoodle
Mimi: Girlygirl
Bo: Liam (long story)
(June 7, 2010 - 3:46 pm)
In other words, you want to change Pwt to Pwt-swoosh-klunk. At least, that's what I imagine it sounds like.
(June 8, 2010 - 4:52 pm)
sorry but what are HPBs?
(June 30, 2010 - 11:53 am)
got it. sorry about that. hpbs are hot pink bunnies. got it.
(June 30, 2010 - 11:56 am)
Cucumber.
(June 9, 2010 - 12:50 pm)
My nickname is Greer or Anna Banana. I also know a Hollywood, Las Vegas/Curly, Vaneera, Dywen, Amdyd, Ekinas, T.T. Cookie, Cowy, and Frisco (Short for San Fran, which is short for San Francisco). Janisa is an awesome name!!!!!!!!!! Sadly, it's not my name. My dog's name is Gaston(I'm not kidding). Okay rename Muses time(applause, applause)! Here I go(knuckle crack):
Pwt-Nutty Netty
Bo: Munchy
Mimi-Compromise
AEIOU-Techno (It's a girl name too!)
Crraw-Poe the Crow
Kokopelli-Sky High Pie Guy
Urania-Andromeda(after the constellation)
Chad-Tinker
Feather-Donut Dude
Thank You, Thank You, Thank You Very Much(wild screams)!
I love it!! --Poe the Crow
(June 10, 2010 - 12:37 pm)
Thank you, Poe the Crow. I named you that because I personally think your poetry rocks!! So please keep making rhymes, Poe the Crow, Muse of EPIC POETRY!!!
(June 11, 2010 - 8:24 am)
But Poe the Crow is working for the HPB's!!!!! I have proof!!!! I-!!!!! *is cut off by kidnapping hot pink bunnies* HELP!!! See, I told you-!!! *is cut off again*
(June 11, 2010 - 9:07 am)
Okay then if you will please tell me your proof?
(June 12, 2010 - 3:54 pm)
It's a coverup!!!!! You have to trust me!!!! He's telling you lies!!! Crraw thinks the HBP's can make his poetry epic by forcing the editors to publish it!!! He's AAAAAGH!!! Mph!ri'wew;snjdfsni ?'
.[';'.;..'; AAAA and Crraw AnD hheS HellP!!!! its thi HBPS!!!
im inthe FMP!
(June 14, 2010 - 6:32 pm)
You guys are making up excuses (like being kidnapped by so-called "evil" hot pink bunnies) to not have proof!
(July 2, 2010 - 9:01 am)
The FMP is the headquarters for Flamablamulous Marshmallow. Therefore FMP stands for Flamablamulous Marshmallow Place-- their HQ. Flamablamulous Marshmallow is an orginazation of killer marshmallows that disguise themselves as evil HPBs. The real HPBs are fighting the Flamablamulous Marshmallow monsters in the FMP, where the Muses send the unwanted fan mail to be messily devoured. However, since the killer marshmallows are disguised as HPBs, the real HPBs who are fighting the monsters get all the blame. CRAWW AND THE REAL HOT PINK BUNNIES ARE LOYAL AND JUST! DOWN WITH KILLER MARSHMALLOWS!!!
(July 12, 2010 - 2:53 pm)
Its so bad its epic
(June 12, 2010 - 5:15 pm)
Because he has been telling us false information all this time!!!! ((*is attacked by HPB's*)) In one issue he said that Aeiou had said that he was a handsome wonderful bird ((Hi-yah! *whacks with stick*)) and that he wrote beautiful poetry. Then Aeiou whacked him! He must have been disguising ((*throws Hot Pink Carrots over shoulder* Here! Go away!!!)) all of Aeiou's warnings of the HPB's plans! She has a computer, she could have easily hacked the hot pink bunnies' system, but no, Crraw (aka Poe the Crow) has been telling us wrong information all this time! And why else would the Hot Pink Bunnies have attacked me when ((*throws multiple pineapple pies*)) I said that????? Huh? ((*defeats HPB's*))
(June 13, 2010 - 12:59 pm)
The HBP's have attacked my house when I publicly announced that Crraw worked for the HBP's!!!!! Oh no! There coming for me! ahhhhgfgg":"::}{?}{}}:":>{"}'P,LPLP;[,;[P];/P[

I have a new name for Crraw: Leader of the HBP's!!!!!!
(June 15, 2010 - 9:04 am)
YES! WE HAVE A CAMPAIGN AGAINST CRRAW: THE ANTI-CRRAW CAMPAIGN!!! So creative! I know! I notice that Crraw himself has not spoken as of yet. Trying to sneak away, hmmm?
(June 15, 2010 - 7:18 pm)
We will notice when he is not in the next issue of Muse!
(June 16, 2010 - 8:22 am)
Down with the Hot Pink Bunnies!!!!!!!!
(June 17, 2010 - 4:11 pm)
I 2nd that!!!
(June 18, 2010 - 10:40 am)
would someone PLEASE explain what the hot pink bunnies do and where they started? did the muse editors randomly put them in one of the issues or did muse readers randomly come up with it? sorry but i don't get it. at all. please explain something!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? (interrobangs)
(June 30, 2010 - 12:00 pm)
*shrugs* I haven't a clue. I just use it in place of cats/dogs or the cats vs. dogs arguement....I was so confused by the name when I saw it in my first muse issue. Since it is a name, could the editors explain the origin here??
(July 1, 2010 - 4:35 pm)
They were supposed to be a peaceful alternative to the cats vs. dogs debate. So much for peaceful...
(July 2, 2010 - 8:51 am)
*becomes irked with the ridiculous hot pink bunny strand and shakes head in disgust* This has become sooo off topic. Funny, yes, but way off topic. Can we go back to the names discussion? Please???
(July 1, 2010 - 4:31 pm)
AND WE DO NOT!! THE REAL TRAITORS ARE CHAD AND MIMI!!!! They want to control the world using corruption among th Muses and Musers BY TURNING US AGAINST EACH OTHER!!!
(July 2, 2010 - 8:58 am)
Crraw is the best muse yet! So not fair. POE THE CROW! POE THE CROW! POE THE CROW! I LOVE CCCCCCCCCCCCCRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWW!

I go by Loki, aftr the Norse god of trickery... anyone else have godly names?
(June 20, 2010 - 9:52 am)
I go by Artemis, the Greek Goddess of the Hunt and the Wild. I am a fanatic when it comes to Greek mythology. If you want me to, I can tell you every greek god and goddess....Loki's a pretty name. Wish I could have thought of that.
(June 21, 2010 - 11:04 am)
I think that instead of little brother we should unite together and call little brothers little BygPayneInZaNeke. I also think we should call dogs KutestThangInDaWerld. Maybe we could call Muse MostAwesymestThangInDaWerld and pie BygKreemiSqishiThangWythAKrusst and babies SweetiPye and books InteryestyngInfoe and people YunyqueThangs and and......and...boy, I'm infected, or should I say Kawntaiminayted with this...Muse-or MostAwesymedtThangInDaWerld is getting to me...or should I say is getting to Ckylie.... maybe I should take a rest... or take a RealaxyngBrake, and stop thinking about MostAwesymestThangInDaWerld.... Byebye, or should I say Fufa?
That shattering noise you just heard was the sound of our spellchecker exploding. --Ed.
(June 21, 2010 - 10:56 am)
I agree that little brothers are a BygPayneInZaNeke, but I think dogs are the DumestThangInDaUnyvurs. And HPB's (and Crraw) are the EvilistThangzInTheUnyvurs. Gosh, I'm confused. I need correct spelling!!!...

Sorry about that.It's just that throwing all those pies and then discussing a debate kind of got to me.
(June 21, 2010 - 7:28 pm)
Alright, let's get this over with. (gasp) The Official Muse Re-Naming Ceremony!!(smattering applause) Thank you, thank you.
Kokopelli, I hereby name you PYESHPLAT (applause)
Mimi, you shall be trusted with the name CANDLEWICKE (applause)
Urania, for your gifted talents, I shall name you MALICIA (astonished gasps, then terrific applause)
Chad, for your hard work I shall name you TENNIMIZE (applause)
Feather, I don't know what you've contributed to (polite laughs) but I smelt you the holy name PAPYRYS (whoops and cheers)
Bo, for your random but interesting facts I hereby call you SOLICYGRAZ ( applause)
Aeiou, just because of your exotic name, I smelt thee AURISTLE (applause)
Crraw, for your seemingly good poetry, I name you SINIPOET (terrific applause and whoops and cheers)
And finally, last but certainly not least (excited gasps) the princess muse of them all, Pwt, I name you VARACRUCIA ( astonished gasps, then smattering applause) !!!!
Thank you, thank you, for attending the 2 minute Official Muse Re-Naming Ceremony! Thank you, and GOOD NIGHT!
For some reason, Pwt says he doesn't want to be a princess. I don't understand it, but I just thought I'd let you know why he stormed out. --Mimi

When I was at a dumb daycamp, this girl and I thought up bad names. our conclusion: it would be hard having the name ima.
ima cow?!
really.
(July 3, 2010 - 4:56 pm)
Especially if your last name is Hog.
Another hard name is Gertrude.
(July 5, 2010 - 7:36 pm)
There was a famous person named Ima Hog

PWT!? A PRINCESS!? You've got to be kidding! Pwt is a man! A MAN I tell you!
(notice the use of interrobangs)
Anyway, my name is Head George and I rule Sugamania, Sugatropolis and all the cities and regions thereof. We don't have any hot pink bunnies in Sugamania (my sister and I created it) but we do have a hot pink catapult, a national peppermint and a meandering turnpike. I am weird (obviously) and proud of it! What fun would life be if you couldn't be weird?
(September 19, 2010 - 2:30 pm)
I like Pwt too, but he is a boy!! Really dude, look at em!

My name is Maggie, which I think is awesome, 1 because it is not a name that you can have seven of in a class, 2 it isn't so unusual that if you say "Hi, my name is Maggie." to someone you just met they will go "Maggie?!?!?" (<-- interrobang!!) and 3 it is hebrew for "Pearl". I love the beach, the ocean, and pearls. The downside is that you can very very (etc.) rarely find ANYTHING, be it keychains, bracelets, necklaces, or whatever with "maggie" on it. I got lucky on a trip to sea world when i was five :D
I don't know anyone with funny initials, but i saw a dentistry office with "Dr. Savage" on it. I don't think i really want to go there. Also, one of the brazilian soccer players in the world cup had the unfortunate last name of "Kaka".
I LOVE my name, but if i absolutely HAD to pick another one, i would pick Thalia. I think that it is greek, but I do not know what for....
(July 5, 2010 - 2:31 pm)
Is your full name Maggie, or is it Margaret because Maggie is short for Margaret!
(July 22, 2010 - 6:53 pm)
My full name is Margaretha. It's dutch - I'm named after my great grandmother. I really like it. XD
(September 25, 2010 - 11:12 am)
Hmmm, like thalia in percy jackson?
(November 27, 2010 - 12:38 pm)
Katherine (which means pure) is the name on my birth certificate, but everyone calls me Katie. My middle name is Noble and my last name means good.
Nicknames should be called blankynames! Nicknames are quite often simply a part of a full name (______/blank) and then a y or ie or ey (I'm not saying it's a bad. Besides, blanky is a sort of nickname for blanket given by babies, so it's a (not very clever, but still relevant) play on words.
I agree that worms should be called shroushens.
Earth should be called water! That's what it is, anyway, not earth. (Yes, I know that this has been said and quoted many times by many people, so some of you might consider it cliche. So? I agree with it.)
Thalia, by the way, was the name of the Greek muse of comedy. I don't know what it meant...
Some names I would hate having are Mocha and Aelgifu. I found them on baby naming websites. Ugh. The reason for not wanting to be named Mocha is a bit obvious, I should think, and Aelgifu just sounds horrible as a name. It's female, by the way, though it's hard to tell. It's never used anymore, though, really; it's ancient Anglo-Saxon. It means gift of the elves. I like that, but I still don't like the name.
(July 6, 2010 - 12:32 am)
How do you even pronouce aelgifu?!?!?!?
Shroushens sounds much more like worms should be.
Dogs should be called wolfllerrens (or something similar, i'm open to ideas, cause i am not the most adept at naming....)
Earth, if it had to be renamed, should be named Azulat. Or not. I like earth, which is gaelic or something for ground, dirt, etc. (new fact for your page, Bo!)
thanks Katie for telling me what thalia was named after!
I would hate having the names Agnes or Mildred. Mildred sounds too much like mildew. Agnes sound like someone saying "aggy's" with a cold.
I would like to know.... Kokopelli, where did YOU get your name from?? I've never heard it outside of Muse....
(July 7, 2010 - 10:13 am)
On an unrelated subject, does anyone know if 1) there is a "past magazines comics" section on the website, and if there is then 2) how do you get there? If there isnt, then 3) EDs, i am talking to you: Make one!!! Specifically put in the LotR comics, because i like LotR and i missed every issue with those comics!
Thanks for the suggestion, Maggie! --Ed.
(July 7, 2010 - 11:46 am)
Yeah I love nicknames. I am called Beethoven for I play Beethoven in a play, my freind is called the Noaster, and another nicknamed person in my class is Kamster.
(July 9, 2010 - 8:34 am)
My real name is Rachel, but I don't really like it.
It's too...
common.
I want my name to be
SELENE.
That would be cool.
(July 29, 2010 - 9:13 pm)
My dance friends randomly give nicknames. Mine is Tylana (Don't ask why) We even made a family!!!!!!
(August 17, 2010 - 2:28 pm)
My dance friends and I made ourselves Lucy, Susan, and Peter (we're all girls, btw) shortly after Prince Caspian came out... since then, our family has grown to include Edmund and Aunt Polly. We still don't have a Eustace or Jill... or Digory, for that matter.
(February 6, 2011 - 9:57 pm)
Ooh! Ooh! Ooooooh! Pick me! I wanna be Caspian! BTW if you've read The Horse and His Boy, you would know why my name was Cassie. Hint:Corin and Cor. I was hidden so Uncle Miraz wouldn't find me. They thought i was in more danger because apparently, girls are supposed to be weaker than boys. Well, I sure showed them during the battle for Cair Paravel! 150 Telmarines wounded beyond resistance!(I don't kill, I knock them out or take them prisoner, but only if they don't run away first. I only kill when absolutely neccasary, like the Warrior Code.) I was also hidden because I was a magical Half-wolf, from my mother's side, and therefore in danger of being discovered as an Old Narnian. I currently lead a Wolf Pack in the woods near Cair Paravel.
(April 7, 2011 - 9:42 pm)
Wait so if you are part wolf, does that mean Caspian is too? Cuz you are twins?
(May 4, 2011 - 9:39 am)
Well i am the aptly named lil' spaz. No explanation should be needed if you know me
(August 22, 2010 - 1:00 pm)
Wow I remember a book named Frindle where this kid renames the pen a frindle. :)

My name is Sidney, Muse of the Stars. Yes, that Sidney. What? Nobody has heard of me? Sigh. I move here all the way from Astrexia and this is the recognition I get. Well, it's fine. I would like a cool name like Luna. Or Serena. Or Mesfyel. That is just about the coolest name I can think of. She happens to be a fictional character of mine. I gave her that name on purpose.
(October 9, 2010 - 5:36 pm)
We call my friend Mcgarther, and my other friend both Demetri and Bob.
(October 16, 2010 - 3:39 pm)
Bo is a girl
(January 28, 2011 - 5:43 pm)
OK, I will pets have the worst names ever. OK, maybe only 1 was the worst. His name is Floyd.
(October 23, 2010 - 9:33 am)
Hardly anybody calls me by my real name. Almost everybody calls me by my nickname. But why should I tell you that?! Oh wait, I just did.
(November 17, 2010 - 3:44 am)
i have top secret proof that kokopeill not craww is with the hbps!!!!!!!!!
(February 13, 2011 - 1:22 pm)
Oh yeah? is suspicious* Then are you on HIS side?!
(February 22, 2011 - 3:25 pm)
OH! AND I FORGOT! This is the PERFECT place to state my nicknames of doom. I just decided to nickname ALL the characters of an awesome TV show that I'm currently somewhat obsessed with. Okay then: the challenge? Find out a) what show am I talking about and b)who the people are anyway.
A few samples (hint: Pokemon references!): Cheryl Hair, Fritos, The Flute of Death, and Blue Peoples Guy.
MORE TO COME... *spooky music plays*
I came up with a phrase. And I am using it in advertising. Here is the scene:
Random person walking down the street, playing a video game. Something blows up on-screen.
ME: YOU JUST DID A MESFYEL!!!!!
Random Person: ???
Mesfyel: QUIT USING MY NAME AS A COPYRIGHTED FRANCHISE!!!! *does a real Mesfyel* *large explosion*
(February 22, 2011 - 3:35 pm)
Sorry for the too/many/posts/by/one/person/in/a/row, but since nobody else is posting... More nicknames!!!
I Steal From Zoos, The Gary Stu Theorem, A (More) Cuckoo Kaisei (Pokemon references, I told you so...), Veggie Tales (my original nickname), The Munchlax Kitty (more Pokemon), and The Mini Flute of Not-So-Deadly Death.
(March 2, 2011 - 3:18 pm)
Um... I'm guessing some sort of cop show? 24? NCIS? Something like that?
(March 21, 2011 - 8:40 pm)
*steps onto orange crate in middle of street* Out of sheer boredom, I'm going to attempt to rename the muses. *gasps from small crowd*
To begin, I shall rename Urania... ALGEBRANIA ASTRONOM! *applause*
Kokopelli shall become PRANNK STARR! *pleased murmurs and applause*
To Aeiou I give the name MEG. A. BYTE! *lots of applause*
Feather will become BYYRD O'AISSIS! *cheers and clapping*
Craww, to you I give the name EDGAR H. POE-BAARD! *surprised murmers and much applause*
Bo will henceforth be known as BESSIE O'XEN! *laughs and whoops*
I bestow upon Mimi the name ALLY BENEDINE! *applause*
To Chad I give the name BEN GIZMOE EDISON! *laughter and applause*
And last but not least, Pwt has earned the name SIMBAA DRAGONNATE! *gasps and loud applause*
Thank you, thank you. Goodnight. *steps off old orange crate*
(March 22, 2011 - 9:35 pm)
Now for the warrior naming of the Muses (cheering)!
Craaw: Crowfeather
Pwt: Birdslash
Mimi: Mintglow
Chad: Stoneflight
Kokopelli: Waykit
Bo: Blackdapple
Aeiou: Rockslash
Feather: Oakleaf
and Urania: Starshimmer!
(April 2, 2011 - 10:11 am)
HAHAHA WAYKIT!!!! I like the names, but Crraw is nothing like Crowfeather. I propose we name him something more like Blackfeather or Ravenflight, or something along those lines, perhaps having to do with his bad poetry... though I can't see how that would fit into a Warrior name. I am absolutely opposed to the new Warrior names! Really? Willowshine? Antpelt? Ratscar? KINKFUR? REALLY??????
(April 7, 2011 - 9:22 pm)
I think my new name should me tailor because that is a AWESOME name because i am just nuts (i'm allergic to nuts so let's just say bananas, wait, i don't like bananas either. so i will say i'm going calamari, yup i'm good with that name lol.) for that name. yes maybe i should call me miss taco because i am calamari for mexican food. but i really don't think you should be named your food. then you would have to look like your name. but i have like 40 other names. here are the first five: hannah, tailor, shiki, dananika, tonia.
(May 25, 2011 - 1:44 pm)
Well my nick-name is chococat do you know thoose charaters? my friends are keroppi (the frog) my melody (the bunny) and hello kitty
we all call eachother these names isn't cute?!
(July 27, 2011 - 7:29 pm)
