I also feel the same way

Name Reources

So, you’re writing a thing, and you need to name a character. And, as we all know, naming a character is a giant pain in the ass. I offer this list of shit I use pretty regularly, for this purpose.

Behind the Name (The etymologies are weird as fuck, in a few places, but it’s great if you’ve got a name and need to find other names that are from or derived from the same culture/language)

Behind the Surname (BTN for family names)

Academy of Saint Gabriel Medieval Names Archive (This is the go-to for medieval names in Europe and the Near East. Hardcore scholarship and a distinct lack of fucking around.)

Kate Monk’s Onomastikon (The original internet name resource.)

The Soldier in Later Medieval England (Actual names from English military rolls around the Battle of Agincourt)

England’s Immigrants (Non-native residents of England, 1330-1550)

Celtic Personal Names of Roman Britain

Mapping the Medieval Countryside - People (People appearing in English inquisitions post mortem, 1418-1447)

Wiktionary’s Index of Biblical Names

Ancient Names Galleria (The weird shit is here. If you need Akkadian or Phoenecian names, those are totally covered.)

Trismegistos People (Names extracted from the Trismegistos Texts – mostly names from Graeco-Roman Egypt.)

Personally, I use the shit out of Trismegistos People, England’s Immigrants, and the Ancient Names Galleria. If you’ve got good sources I didn’t hit, feel free to add them in a reblog. I’m always looking for more good name resources. (And almost all of what I have is Europe and the Near East, with a little North Africa.)

This is my favorite Tumblr so far❤

Great poetry that speaks right to me and squeezes my soul

“perspective”

so you say you know what I think all so obvious as it’s written there in ink but oh how wrong can you be as your eyes only read what your mind wants them to see impossible for you to be truly perceptive as you interpret my words from your mind’s own perspective you take every word that I ever write or say and translate each and every one into your own way so to see what I see you need to set your mind free take everything you’ve learnt and leave it behind forget your opinions as they’re nothing like mine through your blinkered view my truth you’re denying to see me and to see how I think to understand what’s written in ink you’ve got to stop being you and see the world from a different view but that ain’t gonna be that I can see you will never see anything but your view of me you’ll never see things from a different perspective as you’re too preconditioned to ever be truly receptive

“How to fall in love

When someone shows you their soul, show yours in return.

Because this is how lovers meet;

An act of courage

And an act of surrender.”

Everyone’s fucked up. You’ve just gotta decide what kinda fucked up you’re into.
