[Valesse]

Ahhh...

"Valesse" is.... sound.
It doesn't mean sound, but thats what it started out as. I made a lot of goofy, jumbled noise and it all came out at once. Why? I was making up a character name for a Legend of Zelda spoof me, my twin, and my friends were working on.

I liked it instantly, but couldn't put a finger on why it fit so well with the character-part that we had given her-- but then it hit me. 'Valesse' came from 'Valiance', and in considering she was probably named after Link (who was in charge of [the triforce of] Courage) it made sense!... well at least if you're into Zelda games it does.

Turns out it is also very close to the name of some line of French luggage. You're welcome to call me either "Couragous" or just "Luggage" if you want, but Val will do just fine ; )
