A/N: Hello, everyone. As you may have guessed, this is obviously not an update but more of a special features application thing. I first came up with the idea for this fic when I was reading a story about a serial killer over a year and a half ago. I spent quite a long time coming up with appropriate names for the characters and I thought that maybe a few of you would find it interesting. So here goes:
Adam= first man, meaning Hermione's first client
Finnin=fair birth, handsome
Charlotte=just one of my favorite names
Fairclough= not really sure how to pronounce, but means `fair cliff'. I usually assign fair meanings to ultimately `good' people.
Jemma=another one of my favorite names
Mark= I had Saint Mark in mind or Mark from the Gospel
Bonner= good, Norman-French 11th century origin, all variants mean `good'
Persephone= `-phone' is Greek for `to destroy' or `to murder,' relationship to Demeter implies hint of goodness
Perris= `stone' in Greek, I interpreted it to mean stubborn
Robert=bright fame
Henderson=home power
Doyle=I deliberately did not give him a first name, but Doyle means `dark stranger' in Gaelic
Thomas=Greek form of Aramaic name meaning `twin'
Ebenezer=miserly character in “A Christmas Carol,” I doubt anyone missed that
Powell=means `son of Howell' in Welsh, Howell or Hywel in Welsh means `eminent'
In terms of things other than names, I've introduced the idea of a key word to restore memory loss, but I owe the idea of a Mnemomagus to Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next book series.
I don't think I missed anything…but if there are questions out there (which I doubt) then I can answer. I hope you all enjoyed the fic and thanks very much for reading it! --> |
