It not only includes holidays in popular tourist destinations but also includes lesser-known holidays in smaller countries.
Thursday: I was born on a Thursday, hence the name. My brother was born on a Monday and they called him Anton - go figure.
While Rhaegal is fantastical, Drogon is obviously derived from the word dragon , while Viserion is a real-life Greek name, commonly transliterated as Vissarion or Bessarion. A musical record version renames the younger brother Yen, and also names the numerous elder sisters, starting with eldest Humph, then Lumph, until the youngest sister Gumph, all of whom were named out of spite just because the parents wanted a son.
It not only includes holidays in popular tourist destinations but also includes lesser-known holidays in smaller countries. This makes it a valuable resource for travelers who want to explore different cultures and experience local festivals. Moreover, the book is regularly updated to reflect any changes or additions to the holiday calendar.
Aerith And Bob / Literature
Turk Weird name.
Nerezza Yes, it is.
- This was a naming pattern for slaves in the Real Life Old South: Classical history and occasionally the Bible provided names that were not used by their white masters. Not an alternate element at all.
- It was also necessary, since slaves weren't allowed to have surnames and needed unique names to distinguish one another.
- Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore. All names deriving from the same time period, but only one that remains common in the modern era. This rule also pertains to his family. His Muggleborn mother had a common name, Kendra. His father and sister had uncommon but not unheard of names, Percival and Ariana (though this is a fairly popular name now). However, his brother�s name is Aberforth.
- The Weasleys have relatively normal names because they�re named after both classical and modern British royals. Arthur, William, Charles, Percy, Fred, George, and Ronald. Ginny is a common nickname, but for Virginia, rather than Ginevra, which is pretty uncommon in the UK (in fact, before Word of God stepped in, Fanon interpreted "Ginny" as a shorthand for "Virginia"). Arthur's father, though, is named Septimus, which may indicate that the Weasleys sometimes indulge in fantastical theme naming like other purebloods.
- Crops up again within Harry's family: you have Harry and Ginevra (Ginny) and then their kids, Lily Luna, James Sirius, and. Albus Severus.
- Nymphadora Tonks, the daughter of Andromeda (Black) Tonks and Ted (Edward) Tonks. Her middle name, apparently, is Vulpecula. She's a walking lampshade hanging; she only goes by her surname, and when asked why she says that you would too if your fool of a mother named you Nymphadora.
- The Marauders - James, Peter, Remus and Sirius.
- The trio itself consist of Harry, Ron, and Hermione. She�s the biggest aversion of the general rule of Muggleborns having normal names. Although ironically the popularity of the series has resulted in what was not long ago an extremely old-fashioned name becoming quite popular.
- Voldemort�s name is Tom Marvolo Riddle. Tom was his Muggle father�s name and Marvolo his Wizard grandfather�s. Although he considered it rather too common even before he learned his father was a muggle. This is lampshaded in the Pensieve Flashback, where the owner of the orphanage where Tom lived wondered what kind of mother would pick such a weird name for her son.
- Reynevan isn't really that odd, it's just a Polish/Czech variation of his Germanic birth name � Rheinmar. Remember, most of the action takes place in Silesia, which for most of its history was hotly contested between Poland, Bohemia and various German principalities, so having a several variations of one's name in different languages was a perfectly normal practice.
- This occurs with place names as well-as noted by a reviewer of Brisingr in The Sydney Morning Herald (an Australian newspaper), it was strange to see fantastical names such as Uru'Baen alongside more commonplace names such as Lithgow. Word of God states that this is because of many cultures having inhabited the land and left behind place names, which is of course an element of Truth in Television. You need look no further than the areas of early colonization United States to find various places with Native American, English, French, etc. names all within a few miles of each other.
- Yazuac, Carvahall, Du Weldenvarden and. Sharktooth?!
- In a straighter example of this trope, the trolls in The Hobbit are named Tom, Bert, and William. While this can be explained by the story's more whimsical nature, Tolkien also used the names Tom and Bill for other characters in The Lord of the Rings.
- Due to the Conlang system in LOTR, this trope is inverted. Despite Westron being translated into English (including names), almost none of the characters has a realistic name that is commonly used nowadays. Sam and Pippin are the closest exception, though they are short for the less common "Samwise" and "Peregrin" respectively. In other words, real-life names are Aeriths in that universe. Canon foreigners from the movies and video games have realistic names, such as Sara Oakheart, Lianna, Corwin, Theodore, Willem, or the Easterlings-turned-Nazgul Yuka and Riya, who have real Japanese names note non-Canon Foreigner Easterlings have weird, fantastic names that aren't Japanese, such as Khamul .
- "Goniff" is the Yiddish word for "thief." "Gonff Mousethief" could be a nickname.
- The main characters of The Mortal Instruments are named Jonathan (Jace), Alexander (Alec), Isabelle, Simon. Clarissa (Clary) and Magnus.
- The Shadowhunters have names that range from common (Luke, Robert) to semi-common (Jocelyn) to rare (Valentine, Amatis).
- Amongst Scotland Yard, take Inspector G. Lestrade (a French name from the Provence) amongst rather normal English/Norman names like Gregson, Jones, Hopkins, Morton and Bradstreet.
- This is a good example because while they are, for the most part, perfectly good (or somewhat unusual, but acceptable) medieval names, they come from all over medieval Europe, which leads to the Lannister family having, among other gems, two parents with medieval English names who have a daughter named Cersei (an late-medieval Italian bastardisation of a Greek name) and two sons named Jaime (an early medieval bastardisation of a Latin bastardisation of a Hebrew name) and Tyrion (a two-language composite name that sounds like Tyron, an acceptable medieval English name). The Seven Kingdoms were formed into a single country three hundred years ago, which might explain why names from different regions have been exchanged. Westeros, while culturally based mostly on England, is a region about the size of South America, and has experienced several waves of colonization, which goes a long way toward explaining the diversity.
- The Stark siblings' names are a good example. The girls, Sansa and Arya, have names that sound strange to English ears compared to the boys, Robb, Jon, Bran, and Rickon. Rickon sounds exotic, too, but it's actually an in-universe variation of Rickard, his grandfather's name.
- The dragons' names are all over the place. Some have exotic, Valyrian-derived names (Balerion, Tessarion, Vermithor), while others have English descriptive names (Sunfyre, Silverwing, Quicksilver). Daenerys' dragons are named Drogon, Rhaegal, and Viserion. While Rhaegal is fantastical, Drogon is obviously derived from the word "dragon", while Viserion is a real-life Greek name, commonly transliterated as Vissarion or Bessarion. However, the similarity is coincidental in-universe, as they are alterations of the names of important dead men in Dany's life.
- The Starks' direwolves are named Grey Wind, Ghost, Summer, Shaggydog, Lady. and Nymeria. The last one is named by Arya after the Rhoynish ancestor of the Martells, who led her people to escape the Valyrians and settle in Dorne. Fittingly, she is also the most successful of the lot; while the others are either killed or turned into glorified pets, Nymeria becomes the leader of a large wolf pack somewhere in the North.
- Also, there seems to have been an agreement that because Luke had a normal name, other people from Tatooine would also have normal names (and in the format Luke Nounverber, too).
- Real names - Robert, David, Alexander, Rosemary, Tanya, Bill
- Real names with unusual spellings - Evelynne, Warrin, Jonathon, Zavier
- Real, sometimes obscure names with gender changes - Jordana, Kassander, Gawaina, Amedea, Braniana
- Real but obscure names, some with unusual spellings - Drusus, Atreus, Agrippa, Dimitrius, Isoldt, Bran
- Ethnic or ethnic-sounding names, some with unusual spellings - Llewellynne, Rhys, Llewen, Tuedwur, Jock, Arren, Gordon, Duglas, Etienne, Celeste, Henri, Arnolfo, Benedito, Juan-Ernesto, Eleanor, Ferdiad, Mairi, Bridget.
- Totally-made-up names - Ellisander, Terrilynne, Caliston, Quindara, Galerion, Ballentire, Kelahnus
- Bird-themed names (denoting Heralds, possibly because they're swift) - Ptarmiganna, Eagleynne, Robinarden, Wrenassandra
Thursday: I was born on a Thursday, hence the name. My brother was born on a Monday and they called him Anton - go figure.
- This is a case of purposefully evoking this trope. The moral of the story was that if you give your child a long, crazy name that it'll take a very long time to say, and could possibly get you in hot water if you can't spit it out on time or over and over again.
- A musical record version renames the younger brother Yen, and also names the numerous elder sisters, starting with eldest Humph, then Lumph, until the youngest sister Gumph, all of whom were named out of spite (just because the parents wanted a son).
- The Cullens consist of Edward (common name), Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie (old-fashioned), Esme, and Carlisle (unheard of).
- The Volturi have names ranging from Jane, Alec, and Chelsea to Aro, Caius, and Athenodora.
- SkyClan's isolation made it even worse, to the point that the other Clans think their names are weird. They sometimes just tack another word/syllable to a "kittypet name", resulting in such awkward constructions as Bellaleaf, Billystorm and Harveymoon. On other occasions they don't even do that, and have thus ended up with members named things like Macgyver or Tree.
- Galina is actually a real name of Greek origin that is pretty common in Russia and Bulgaria, but the point stands.
- Several of the above names are actually alternate forms of names from the Arthurian myths. Nynaeve is an alternate name for Nimue, the lady of the lake.
- Some are even further connected to Arthurian legend, with Egwene al-Vere being probably a combination of Igraine and Guinevere, Gawyn being Gawain and Artur Hawkwing clearly Arthur.
- Also Min is a bad example, Min's full name is Elmindreda.
- Most of the normal names are human: Aislinn is the reincarnated Summer Queen , but the name isn't that uncommon anyways, Seth is fully human until he gets Sorcha to change him , and Leslie is human. Ani and Tish are halflings. Sorcha is one of the classic names for a Queen of the Fey, and Bananach is the personification of war. The others are Fey, and immortal, so this is okay in context
- Furthermore the first two names listed here also fit into the Celtic naming theme: Aislinn is an Irish name (from which Anglisised names like Ashleyne derive) and Sorcha is likely an Anglicised spelling of 'Saoirse'.
