    1. Unfortunately I cannot find anything else about the name Nonín, except for the fact it means "daisy" in Irish.

      Sorry.

    2. I do, however, know it is pronounced no-neen. I'm not sure which syllable the stress goes on.

      Delete
    3. Ah, that's ok. I've struggled to find anything else out about her too :/

    4. It's 'Nóinín' and the emphasis is on the first syllable: 'NO-neen'. And yes, it just means 'daisy'. :)

    1. I do not have a vampire list, as of yet. Though I will probably get around to having one sometime soon. Thanks for the suggestions!

      Would you like for me to profile some of the names seperately, or just put them on a list?

  3. This isn't for any specific name but rather a request for one of those "naming families from your imagination" posts!! :)

  4. Sure thing! I just posted another one.

  5. I was wondering if you could profile the name Astoria- it's the name of a character of mine, though she goes by the nickname Story. Her sister is Astarte "Star". From what I could gather on the internet, Astoria is of German origin and means a goshawk but I always figured it was Greek and had the meaning of star, but maybe I'm thinking of something else?

    Not that I mean to put this as an afterthought, but I seriously enjoy your blog and I've even used a few names for chaarcters. So thanks for the blog :)

  6. How about hip nicknames for names that were popular and overused in the 50s
    like Susan and karen and Linda??? I went through 12 years of
    school with five other girls who shared the same first name and none of us had nick names......very confusing :)

  12. I request: Praxedis/Praesilia/Prascède/Praxéda/Praxède/Praxende/Praxène/Praxide/ Praxile/Praxilia/Praxilla or whatever spelling you choose! ;-)

    -on this name I have done a little bit of research. its Greek. I know its connected to praxis, which is sometimes connected to aphrodite. Associated to sex and conception. Sometimes interchangeable with Eupraxia, and nook did a small post on Plaxy. But I don't know of any famous people with the name or its usage. You might know where else to look or dig up...

    Thadéline - is this a pretty form of Thadius/Theodore? and Théocadia- similar to leocadia but I can't remember the cadia- Divine splendedness?

    Talleyrand and Télismond (monde- french form of German Munda for protection-don't know the fist half) for the boys


    Thank You!

    3. Also, on my old blog Midwinter Names I profiled Praxilla - here is the link https://midwinternames.wordpress.com/2012/04/13/praxilla/

    4. I have found both Talleyrand and Telismond as surnames, Talleyrand in the example of Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord, a French politician in the early 1800's. "Talleyrand" has become a sort of name for crafty diplomacy.

      Delete
    5. Sweet thank you for that tidbit. You eased my curiosity. I'm using them in a children's book as first. Wanted to make sure that they weren't nefarious in meaning. Thank you very much. and I'm heading over to midwinter blog to read up on Praxilla and your new post on her variety of sisters. :-)

  14. Do you know the origins of the name Pigménie ? Also, I had to share this spelling with you. It caught my attention and I'm certain that you will get a kick out of it. It's rather crafty in my opinion. Thessalonique.

    1. Couldn't find much on Pigménie. I see there is a Saint Pigménie, and also a Saint Pigmenius, but I'm not sure if they're one in the same. I like Thessalonique! I believe it's the French name for the Greek port city of Thessaloniki.

  17. I've always wondered about the name DeMeril. There's a lady in her nineties at my church with that name (that's how she spells it, too), and I've always been curious about that one. Seems like it'd be a name you may see nowadays, but it surprises me to see that she was named in the late 1920s.

    1. What an interesting name! I wonder if perhaps it was a family surname somewhere and they decided to use it to honor someone?
