Name the Girls' School Character
Added 2024-11-10 01:36:13 +0000 UTC
So, I have begun work on the "Girl's School" Comic from the last poll. There's just one problem. I can't decide what the main character's girl name should be! Help!

Interesting. Maybe I'll find a way to move some Romanian names into my stories! One reason I like to do stories set in the past is there were clearer divides so it's more fun, to me, when a guy ends up as a girl in an era when, for example, women were expected to wear dresses.

2024-11-11 16:47:39 +0000 UTCInteresting. It's probably part of the global movement of women claiming spaces once reserved for men. As you know, I don’t feel entirely empathetic toward this trend, at least in the context of TG fiction. I like the idea of men and women keeping certain preferred domains; without that, where’s the fun in moving from one side to the other? On this topic, I’d like to share some insights from the country I’m currently living in, Romania. Here, even grammar helps mark the distinction between male and female names. In Romanian, every noun has a grammatical gender, shown by the final syllable of the word. For example, casa (house), masa (table), and sticla (bottle) are feminine and therefore end in “a,” which serves as a gender marker. As expected, female names also follow this grammatical pattern, and nearly all of them end with “a.” So, among girls, you’ll find a lot of names like Mihaela, Ana Maria, Daniela, Adriana, and so on. There are a few exceptions, such as Carmen or Ingrid, which are imported names and relatively rare.

I picked those names because in the states they all have an upper class vibe, and the girls' school is a private school for rich girls. The main character, of course, is a bad boy from the poor side of town. There are more folks over here choosing traditionally boy names for their girls these days. I've seen more girls with names like Kyle and Jack (not short for Jacklyn but just Jack).
