tag game: what would your name be if your parents had named you like edward and bella named renesmee (renée + esme) 

Oh man this is gonna be so whacky let me see you put my grandmothers’ names together and you get … Maryanne. Oh.

Hmm, well my grandmothers are called Ivy and Marguerita, so….. Ivuerita?

If my grandmothers, Glorie. If we use grandfathers for dudes, Killiam. Either of which I would be okay with, honestly.

Glorie Killiam Starbuck. I’m wearing space armor and holding a laser crossbow on the cover of a dime novel from 1967. 

….Millet.

Estal? Esthal? (h would be silent, Esther and Michal)

or if a boy… Elchard

Estal is kind of like the fantasy novel twisted version of Estelle, so cool.

But Elchard.

Maybe what they’re called instead of full names? 

Elk. Elck? Deli? 

Well, good thing I’m a girl. And also that my parents are sane.

Donnis or Phyla?? Donbert or Robald???

Patrizabeth? Elicia? That’s not so bad. For a boy… I’m realizing I’m not entirely sure what my maternal grandfather’s name was. Steven, I think, or perhaps George. Really, none of Peteven, Georger, or Stever appeals. Peorge? Glad my parents left the family references for middle names.

Januliet??? If a boy, Jameseph.

I kind of like both of those and they’re actually less weird than what I actually got, and slightly more androgynous, so cool.

…or Josames or Julane, but those are less good so no.

(Yes, all four of my grandparents started with J. My maternal grandparents also shared the same middle initial; grandma got a kick out of monogramming shared possessions like bath towels.)

Millie + Frieda = Millifred. Which I wouldn’t *want* but is a name!

Shirleysue. No, no, Shirlzanney! (Shirley and Suzanne.)

It’s terrible but entertaining.
