No, I don't. If I do, very little. I love Japanese though. My username
Murasaki9 is purple in Japanese, minus the 9 of course.

Koru7? Yes, we should.
Aside from that. Can anyone think of a good name for someone you hate, male or female? And why that name?

I have to come up with a lot of names as I make attempts at writing stories, so I'll list a few first names I've used that are reasonably rare.

Beran: A name for someone resembling a ram. Or an arrogant person.
Stefan: Derived from the Greek word for 'crown'
Martin: Derived from the Latin phrase, 'dedicated to Mars'

Well, probably my math teacher.
JK.
I don't hate her tha much.
I think such a name would be either Morogath or Kronos. Sorry but I really can't think of anything right now.

Thanks Sarthra21, those are rare names. I've come up with lots of names as I write stories. It's actually quite fun.
And Sheppard007, I know Kronos was one of the Titans, or was he? What does Morogath mean?

Yes, he was the father of Zues, Hades, Poseidon, Aphrodite, and a bunch of others. Morogath is the villain in Eragon and Kronos is the villain in Percy
Jackson. Im completely out of ideas so I'm just naming villains in book series.

I've always liked the name Gideon...it's Hebrew and it means, "Mighty Warrior."

I love the name Gideon as well. I had a character named Lance once and I almost changed his name to Gideon because I could. But Lance is too cool, so, I didn't do it.

It just seems kinda awkward, to be honest. Definitely should be kept as a nick-name, wouldn't work as a first name.

I heard that if someone has a kid on 11/11/11 and names it Dovahkiin, Bethesda will give to the family with the child named Dovahkiin free Bethesda games for life.
