Surname Contest!
Sept. 7th - Sept. 10th, 8:00 AM CST

See this lovely pair of twins? One of them can totally be yours (specifically, the one on the right)! Feathers was awesome enough to give away this pair of punny Siamese twins (ha!) for page 200, and I was lucky enough to win them. And all you have to do is come up with a name, more specifically a rad surname for the twins to share.

Be sure that you entries follow the FeatherWeavers naming guidelines!

Featherweavers


[ R u l e s ]

  • Naming Convention (Personal Names): all names of Featherweavers must be a made up, fantasy and/or central-american sounding names. Names like "Sarah" or "David" are not permitted. And while I probably won't stick every name into Google Translate, obviously foreign words (Sakura, Luna, etc) cannot be the sole root for a name either. You can use these names for "bases" for a fantasy word, however (example, Sarina, Davidae, Sakanaye). Be creative, this rule isn't going to be scrutinized or heavily enforced unless we see people ignoring it/abusing it.
  • Naming Convention (Surnames): You can choose to have a surname for your Weaver, made up from a "direct translation" of their language. For example: Sun Catcher, River Runner, or Dream Maker. They must be made up of 2 or 3 English words that are drawn from their environment (as in, must be a word they would "know" - you can can't have a Featherweaver named George Steampunk). Surnames can be repeated, and often are 'passed down' in families.

Contest Rules:
1) Obviously, don't take anyone else's name. Something close is fine, but obvious copypasta or mashing up of other entries will be DQ'd hardstyle.
2) Even though they are Siamese, you do not need to come up with a cat-related name.
3) I will also be using the Surname you pick for my sibling because they're related and stuff.

Entry: Geminae SkyStrider

(Geminae = bastardization of Gemini, and SkyStrider simply because of the sky blue eyes/feathers)

Entry: Korzael DuneRunner

The surname came to me because of their coloring, it reminds me of the sand meeting the ocean at the beach, the lighter color above the tide, then the darker wet sand, and then the water itself.

As for the first name... when you throw a bunch of scrabble letters on your desk and rearrange them enough times, you come up with a name that sounds cool? XD

Username: Feral Marshmallow Lynx
Entry: Felviana RainCaller

Felviana= a combination of the words feline (meaning catlike) and avian (meaning birdlike), the first part chosen because of the Siamese cat markings, and the second part for the feathers for which the 'Weaver species is named.
RainCaller= I chose the first half of the surname, Rain, because the blue color (especially in the eyes) reminds me of a stormy sky about to turn blue again (or a blue sky turning stormy). The second half of the surname, Caller, is because Siamese cats are well-known for being one of the most vocal domestic cat breeds.

So, I had a pretty tough time deciding between two choices, so not going to lie here, I had to flip a coin.

Congrats, Sabin! MoonDiamond is a pretty rad-sounding name! It's mysterious despite having a Wikipedia-granted explanation posting along with it. I'll post the info in the certing thread.

Thanks to the other entrants also! Like I said, not an easy choice. whee Hopefully some of those names get used in the future on other Weavers.
