Naming conventions

[featherynscale]

Rule of my world: I can only manage one person with any given name in my life at a time. Therefore, if you move into my sphere, and you have a name which already belongs to someone in my sphere, I will ask you to give another name for yourself, and if you do not have one, I will assign you one. It's just easier this way.

Your name may change over time, as your presence, and the presence of others with your name in my world waxes or wanes. If you are given a new name, it will probably be your last name (ex. Simpson), or a screen name that you use (ex. Werebear), or something of that nature. But not always.

Example: The ex who called about the giraffe. His name is David. Which was good, when he was The David, but now I have triadruid who is The David. Hence, I resorted to another name for him - his mother once registered him for school as "Daven", quite accidentally, due to poor handwriting. He got to be that for a while in my world. But now, I spend a reasonable amount of time with druidevo, who is The Devin, which is pretty damned close. So I will need a new name for the other one, again. I'm thinking Octavio. It's got a hell of a ring to it, Octavio.

I remember Count Duckula. I remember Danger Mouse. I remember that the one came on right after the other, and that I liked the both enough to risk Parental Wrath™ by dawdling on my way to dinner so that I could catch a few extra seconds.

But damn if I can remember a single plotline or character name besides the title ones.

Danger-mouse, dun dun dun...

I remember Penfold, DM's sidekick. Never did figure what he was; a chipmunk??
