How to read this. Your name may be in several categories, and only one category is in any way negative to a name. You should see how your name fits into all the categories, and see how it could be explained. An example:

N'Ool Theemim had Species Appropriate, Work on Sounds, Work on Flow. In this case, we have a great name, but it needs work because it is awkward on the tongue both in sound and in the rhythm of speaking it.

I hope you enjoy this new streamlined system of advising on names. Please keep the names coming, and make up some species names from my system above!

Thread comments:

"Wondering about the name Jade...I wanted a character named Jade Zeion but it says it's a Star Wars name, then tried Jade which was a Star Wars name, then tried another first name with Zeion which also said it was a Star Wars name. I need to pull my novels out and figure out which is which...any info on the SW character Jade or Zeion?"

Mara Jade Skywalker is Luke's wife. Zeion I don't see, but I may be missing the reference - I THINK he was an Imperial Captain or Admiral.

"Originally I wanted to name him Kelvin Astus, Kelvin being a scientist who said heavier-than-air flying machines were impossible, and Astus being the latin word for cunning(if I remember correctly). Sadly I couldn't get the name, so there goes all my creativity out the window "

I celebrate your attempt, at least. Oh, and Kelvin was famous for a lot more than that assertion.

man.. i wont be able to read the whole thread. ive got me some grinding to do. But when i come back from playing i would like to see a review of mine.

*bow2* Thanks Riis... I'd pretty much given up on this thread. Thank you for the positive review of my name(s).

I'd pretty much given up on this thread as well.

I've gotten some private comments about names I am doing "in summary" above. When I began, I quickly realized the volume was tremendous (there's 1100 posts in this thread!), and despaired of working with them all. In the end, I realized that I really was saying essentially the same things in different ways, over and over, and rarely getting to use my own creativity and humor that is my "internal monologue" when I read your names.

But that being said, AFTER I have rated a name, if you want to revisit it, and ask me SPECIFIC questions about it, then I will be happy to answer them! I want to provide an actual service here, but so many people "fire and forget" posting their names that I want to use my energies where they come in handy.

At this time, I am not handling names by PM. I hate to refuse anyone, but we need to wait in line. AFTER I give your name a pass, ask me again, and we'll get to it. I did those two pages this morning with some speed, so I feel better about my new system, and the fact that it may be helping people see what (at lease in my almost-expert opinion) a Star Wars name should be.
