It is quite simple compared to most elvish names, really...but I suppose that's why I liked it. And I felt it didn't need an 'iel' or 'ien' or 'wen' ending or anything...

If I had been that creative when choosing my name, I might have gone with either of those last two...maybe.

I always feel like it's the greatest insult to spell anyone's name wrong when it's staring you in the face....and mostly it's simply insulting to yourself.

Should have gone with Rakein, Durelin. I miss calling you Rakey.

I'm guilty of spelling every name wrong. It's not because I don't know how to spell the name (though sometimes it is). Mostly, I just can't type. Aman's name is terrible for me to spell. I normally skip that third 'a'. And of course, I'm a slacker, and thus cannot, for the life of me, properly spell Bethberry's name correctly.

Oh, and the missing accent is purposeful this time, to prove my slackerdom.

Right, CäptáìnôfDëspàír.

I often forget that Lhuna has an h. All this dropping of 'aitches here

I'm actually amazed that no one in Werewolf VII left the h out. And I haven't seen you leave it out either, Bb.

Good lord, dearling, calm down

It isn't nice to type - much like my real name. But then, it looks wrong even when you spell it right. Hrm.

And I was hardly imaginative choosing my name... *cough*barrowdownsnamegenerator*cough*

Sometimes my own misspellings come about simply from skimping letters for undiscernible reasons - I mean, I managed to go through an entire RPG and only realised that I'd been spelling it's name right in the last few weeks. Ho hum.
