However, I do know the meanings of Linda: depending on where you look, in Spanish it means "pretty" and is often used in conjunction with other names. However, in Old High German (or Germanic)it means "serpent", which I much prefer. Don't think apples & Eden, but wingless dragons. Oh yes!<br /><br />Best of luck with the book.

Knowing the maning of names is so important. One heroine I have is Adalita--meaning woman warrior. My grandsons have biblical names and I've looked all of them up to see if they fit the child. the baby, Nathan, was the throw-away infant our son and DIL and Nathan means "a gift from God."

You have to be true to the period, and yet the name has to sound somewhat familiar to modern ears. One way you may get around the name problem is to use the more modern-sounding names for the main characters, and the unfamiliar names for the secondary characters. I don't think anyone would mind a villain named Egbert. *grins*<br /><br />Linda -- have no idea what it means. My mother liked names that couldn't become nicknames.Linda Banchehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18143074276306710646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8023780055187527255.post-70856702830298133462010-06-01T01:42:37.117-07:002010-06-01T01:42:37.117-07:00Thanks so much for having me here, Destiny!Thanks so much for having me here, Destiny!Lindsay Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11513558547686982857noreply@blogger.com
