Harry Potter Baby Names - Part 2

Okay guys. This is the (shorter, God willing) second part of the Harry Potter Baby Names series. And probably last. For now. It's about two weeks late, naturally. I had to work at a farmer's market for a few days and I did absolutely nothing when I got home (exhaustion) and I was a bit sick - found out I need surgery in two weeks, so.. my mind has been a little preoccupied.

The first post lists about a trillion ways to come up with Harry Potter-inspired baby names, including rearranging letters from characters' names, using letters from the House names, using character names as middle names for babies, and... a lot more. (Hop on over if you haven't yet.) I also mentioned some other ways: Roxy, because it means "dawn," calling to mind the moment Harry triumphed over Voldemort; Alasdair, because it means "defender of mankind;" and probably my favorite of the entire post, Forest, inspired by possibly my favorite chapter in the series: The Forest Again.

There are more ways, though! Here are some ideas:

Use characters' middle names. James and Jean are "normal" names, and no one will assume you've named your baby after Harry or Hermione. Want a nod to Dumbledore in your baby's name? Use Brian. In this post I wrote last year, I talked about ways to subtly name a kid after Dobby or Dumbledore.

It's hard to pick favorite characters from the series, but Dumbledore is definitely one of my top five (he's actually probably my first or second favorite). Using him for inspiration in naming makes sense to me. Dumbledore means white and wise, so names with similar meanings work well: Albert means "noble and bright," Alfred means "wise counselor," and Aldo means "old and wise." All have similar meanings to "Dumbledore" and all describe his character perfectly. With Arlo getting so popular, I think Aldo has potential.

My favorite Dumbledore name is probably Conrad. It means "brave counsel," which sums up Dumbledore's role pretty nicely (it would make a good Gryffindor name, as well). Shanahan is another - it means "the wise one." Of course, there are girl versions like Alberta and Alfreda/Alfrida. But if you don't dig those, I'd go back to the Ravenclaw names that mean "wisdom." Sofie, Sophie/a, Minerva, Athena, even Aubrey. I think Alba works really well, too.

There are a hundred more ways to do this/things like this for every character - go ahead and name a girl Iris for Sirius or Eva for Minerva.

Other really random ideas:

Wesley if you really love the Weasley family (who doesn't?)

Susie/Susy means "Lily." A perfect name, since much of the series revolves around Lily's sacrifice for her son.

Edgy surnames are in right now. Go ahead and use Rowling.

Do the stretchiest of stretches and use Dora for Dumbledore. The she could go as this for Halloween every year.

I could go on forever and ever. But don't worry, I won't! That's it.

...........for now.

Harry Potter Baby Names - Part 1

Yep, another baby name post. The other day I found out that the blogette was mentioned in a Mommy Blogger post and I just laughed. Getting a reputation as a mom blogger before I experience motherhood... I joked with my friends that I should probably start writing posts about Starbucks and leggings and flower crowns just to establish that I'm in my twenties and very much single. Not that there's anything wrong with being a mom - it's just not my reality yet. ;) I sometimes worry that all the baby name stuff will make my friends think I'm crazy, but none of them have ditched me just yet and I'm slowly learning to just roll with it. I like the things I like. Pouring over names happens to be one of those things.  

Harry Potter is another. 

It's now common knowledge for all my blog readers that I love Harry Potter. The book series. (Though also the character.) While I wouldn't be so brazen as to name my future kid Harry Potter Allen, I would give subtle nods to the book when picking out names.

Much as we all have (I think) a soft spot for Draco Malfoy, I'm not going to include Voldemort or any loyal Death Eaters. 

Sorry, Voldy.

I'm also breaking this up into two parts because it was getting WAY too long. Today will mainly be about names inspired by the houses, with a nice sprinkling of names based on specific moments, chapters, and themes throughout. (My favorites are at the bottom.) Tomorrow (or, because I procrastinate, more likely next Saturday) will be names based on characters.

Let's start with obvious choices, yes? You could just name your bebe Harry. If I did this, everyone would assume I was naming my baby after the character. So I'd avoid it. But it is a great name, so there's one option. Other ways: throw it in the middle spot. It'd still be incredibly obvious that you love HP if you gave your kind the middle name Nymphadora, Sirius, Albus, Rubeus, etc. Maybe you're cool with that, maybe you aren't. Hermione as a middle name would still be a pretty obvious nod to the brightest witch of her age, but it's also a really beautiful name. If not for the popularity of HP, I think Hermione would be exactly the kind of name parents today love. Old but quirky. But yes. You could also use Harry, Ronald, Arthur, Molly, Minerva, Fred, George, Ginny or Ginevra, the list goes on. Any of those would sound totally normal. Look at some HP names paired with the current top baby names:

Jacob Arthur
Liam George
Sophia Hermione
Zoe Ginevra
Emily Minerva

I also think it's safe to use characters that aren't Ron, Harry, or Hermione or characters who don't have super rare names. Think Luna, Ginny (or a name that shortens to Ginny - Regina, Virginia, Genevieve, etc), Neville, Alice or Franks (Neville's parents), Kingsley, Ted, Angelina, Fred, George, Charlie, Bill, Molly, Seamus, Dean, etc.

You COULD name your kid(s) after your favorite house in a few different ways LIKE:

Rearranging some of the letters:

Gryffindor 
Finn (add an n)
Dory 
Rory
Ford 

Ravenclaw 
Raven
Rae
Arwen (bonus points for LotR connection)
Carla 
Cal 
Clare 
Clara 
Wren
Lawrence (add an e)
Charles (add an h, s)
Carl
Wallace (add an l)
old names are coming back.

Slytherin
Ren?
Rhys (not my style, but it IS a real name)
Sylvie (cheat and add the v)
Elise (add an e)

Hufflepuff
Sorry, Hufflepuffs. I've got nothing. (My second favorite house, too!!)
....maybe Sue, if you add an S. Or Phil, if you add an i.

If you're not down for rearranging the house letters, how about using the founders' names for inspiration? I actually thing Helga, Helena, Rowena, and Godric would all wear well today. Older names are becoming more popular, as are names from myths, legends, and fables. Godric isn't out of place with all the Gideons. Rowena is at home with Fiona. Helena is pretty normal, and Helga fits in with the Margarets (and the Margarets going by "Greta). (There's also Gale [boy or girl] from Helga and Wren or Ren or Rowan from Rowena.)

I don't think Salazar flies. (Nor do I think he's worth using for inspiration for baby naming, what with the muggle-hating and the whole housing a deadly monster in the castle thing. Though "Zuzu" as a nick would be AMAZING.)

And then there's the option to choose names based on the animals and/or traits of each house.

Of course, Gryffindor is represented by a lion. Which means there's great boy options like Lionel, Leo, Leonardo, and Leonard, all of which mean "lion" (brave lion, young lion, etc). For girls, there's Leonie, which seems like it fits in with all the Sylvies today. There are some names that don't mean "lion" but that have "leo" in them just like all those lion names: Leopold (which means "brave people" so it still works well for Gryffindor), Leonore, Leonora.

There's also a whole host of "brave" names. Andrew means "manly," but it's also said to mean brave (which makes Andrea/Andi a nice choice for girls, too). Bernadette means "brave as a bear." Not a lion, but still it's got that brave meaning. Casey is a nice unisex name that means "brave in battle." Valentina means "strength." Anders is a variant of Andrew, so that works nicely. Archie, which seems to be gaining in popularity a lot (maybe thanks to Amy Poehler, who named her son Archie?), means "truly brave" - the perfect Gryffindor-inspired name. Bernard means "strong; brave as a bear." Perhaps my favorite because of the excellent meaning, there's Everett, which means "brave as a wild boar!" Brave! A nice Gryffindor connection! And BOAR! Like a pig! Like a hog! Like HOGWARTS. Swoony swoon. Prewitt means "brave little one" and according to Nameberry, it's French. *I* feel like French names are in right now. Also, our beloved Mrs. Weasley's maiden name was Prewett! Double connection!

You see where I'm going with this. Pick a name that means "brave" or one of the other traits of the house! Easy, subtle, and fantastic.

Ravenclaw ideas: Anne (okay, okay. Anne means "grace" according to Nameberry. But according to Behind the Name, it's "the short form of names beginning with the Germanic element arn "eagle" so I'm counting it!!!) Arnold means "strong as an eagle" - perfect. (And apparently, Arnette???) Arden means "valley of the eagle." I've heard that "Aubrey" means "wise," though Nameberry says it means "elf ruler" - in LotR elves are pretty wise though, so this could work, albeit a nice stretch. My total favorite: Minerva. Minerva was the goddess of wisdom, so the name is a nice nod to Ravenclaw. But there's also the wonderful Minerva McGonagall, so it's a nod to Gryffindor as well! I happen to love the name so I've discussed it with friends and we've decided it's wearable, especially with a good middle name and/or cute nicknames. There's the popular Sofia/Sophia. or the less popular but also lovely Sonia. Alfred and Aldo mean wise/wisdom/wise leader. Shanahan is an Irish surname (popular now) that means "wise one" and Sage means "wise and knowing." So many options for Ravenclaw!!!

Slytherin: I don't think there are many names that mean "snake," (and any names that I could think of as being connected to snakes also happen to be connected to Adam and Eve and our fallen world, so...) but Behind the Name does say that Phinehas might mean "serpent's mouth." It also mentions Drake. Names that mean "ambitious" are also kind of hard to find. There are specific Slytherins that can inspire names, though:

Severus Snape, Horace Slughorn, and Regulus Black.

Snape was a bully, so I don't see him as quite the hero that everyone else does. But I do still think he was brave and ultimately good. That said, I wouldn't name a kid Severus. I don't even like that Harry used the name Severus, though I understand it. I would play that same letter-arranging game as before. Eve appears in the name Severus, making it perfect. There's also Rue (double literary meaning for Hunger Games!) If we use his first and last name we've got even more options. Vera, Sean, Sera, and if we add a letter or two there's Pearl, Seamus, Everly. You get it.

Horace Slughorn: Okay, my very favorite ways, using some letters from both the first and last names, are Arlo and Hugo. Two of my favorite names in general, but if you're fond of Slytherins, this is a good route. (Double points for Hugo, Ron and Hermione's son!) There's Grace (especially great because it shares the consecutive "race" with Horace), Clare, Argo, Sera, Lora, Lorne, Hans, Olsen, Nora, Olga, Helga (double points), and more. And if we add a y there's Henry, which is popular now.

And everyone loves a good story of redemption, so Regulus Black: Clare, Gus, Cal, and of course, Reggie.

And Hufflepuff! Hufflepuff is proving harder than the others so far, but here are some ideas. Hufflepuffs are known for their hard work. So how about Amelia, which means "work." There's also Emmeline, Ida, and Idette. Hufflepuffs also love truth, loyalty, fair play, kindness and tolerance. For truth and loyalty there's Emmett and Dillon and Truman. Or there's Alethea or Verity (v names are huge right now). Tolerance is itself a name. For kindness there's Benen or Agatha (a nod to Agatha Christie, too!). And since Hufflepuffs make the best friends, there's Alden, Bellamy, Edwin, and Amity.

Wow this post is not ending.

Alright so a few more ideas.

Forest/Forrest. Possibly my favorite chapter in the entire series is The Forest Again.

Another favorite is King's Cross. So I'm going to steal Kate's (from Sancta Nomina) idea and propose Ryan. (And actually, with all the Christian symbols and themes... a lot of those and other Christian names can be used.)

There's also Roxy. Roxy means "dawn," calling to mind the moment when Harry finally beats Voldemort. (Of course, Dawn works, but I think Roxy is more current.)

Any of the "defender or lover of mankind" names (Alasdair, Alessandra, and more).

My favorites of all of these are Genevieve nn Ginny, Alice, Molly, Finn, Rowan, Leonie, Everett, Prewitt, Minerva, Shanahan, Everly, Hugo, Arlo, Reggie, Bellamy, Forest, and Roxy. (Those aren’t necessarily names I’d use, because they don’t all fit my tastes and style. But they’re names I think work really well to connect to Harry Potter.)

Stay tuned for Part 2, where we get to find names from favorite characters!!

March Into April | 2016

It's near miraculous that I'm publishing the monthly post before the new month is half way over, I know. Things have been wild. The least wild but most annoying thing was that my computer automatically updated and I have no clue how to upload my pictures now. So instead of painfully cute pictures of babies in Easter dresses or photos of my brand new bed, it's free stock photos until I figure it out! Woo! 

I just wrote an update on my medical sitch yesterday - that was the main event of the month, and it derailed a lot of my plans. It also set me back on some of my reading/writing/exercising goals (I am the little dog in this scenario), but.. life goes on. Thankfully.

Speaking of my exercise plans... I signed up for the Y. I've already mentioned that. But two days after my discharge from the hospital, they called and said I should meet with a coach to get a tour. I checked with my doctors to make sure I wasn't going to accidentally kill myself if I work out and then I went in to make an appointment with a coach. Well the day arrives, I'm in more pain than any other day since leaving the hospital, but I decide to go. The bad thing about having depression for years is that you have depression for years. The good thing is that you really start to know yourself and your habits. I knew that if I cancelled the appointment, even though it would have been totally acceptable, I would end up never going back. So I went to the appointment. I mostly assumed it was going to just be a tour.. and not an hour and a half long work-out.

LOL. Ask me 'bout my liver pain after.

But I did it and I did not die and I'm fine and I feel mentally good about it. So there's that. I'm hoping to go back tomorrow, despite some flaring up of pain today. (I've also been feeling a little dizzy and lightheaded, so let's hope a fever is not on the horizon - aside from missing out on the Y, that also means an ER trip. No thanks!)

I'm a slacker and wrote that top half of the post, like, three days ago and never finished. Since then I've gone to the Y (lol almost died almost died but didn't die, didn't die) AND I've figured out (sort of) how to import my photos. Aforementioned cute (and suspicious?) baby:

Swooooooooon. And new bed:

Another swoon, yes? I live with family so my bedroom is basically a hodgepodge of different kinds of furniture. The bed and the shelf/cabinet are mine... but the shelf isn't meant for a bedroom. It definitely looks out of place, but I love it and I look forward to putting it in an apartment one day. It's odd living in a bedroom but still having other people's style in it - the dressers, some of the pictures on the walls. But the new bed and curtains have got me <3 <3 I'm much happier now that there's a little bit of my own personality in the room.

So yes, those were the main things this month: hospital, family for Easter, new bed, and trying to make a habit of going to the Y. I'm still working in the greenhouse part time, and I'm pretty sure it's helping me lose weight because it gets well over 100 degrees in there. Sweating the pounds off.

April may be less productive since I'll likely be at the hospital in Charleston for a couple of days - and I'm not sure what they're even doing, so I don't know yet if there's a recovery or not. It's a little overwhelming so I'm trying not to think about it much until I know more details.

I'm keeping my expectations kind of low this month because I know it's going to be dominated by the medical stuff, but I did manage to throw together some goals:

1. Go to the Y at least four times a week (eventually I want to go five days a week).

2. Go to Asheville to ask about taking classes.

3. Read six books (I'm behind, but not so far that I can't still reach my goal of 60 books this year).

4. Review at least five books on Filthy Casket.

5. Save at least $200 (this is hard because I have usually around $100 a week in medical bills LOLOLOL).

6. Talk to Stephanie about a Chapel Hill trip.

7. Try at least five new, healthy recipes.

8. Lose ten pounds.

I think that's enough to be getting on with. :)

Moments 2.0

You might remember the post I wrote back in September that goes by the same name. It's a nice little collection of some funny and happy memories, and whenever I think of them, my mood improves. Hot little trick. 

Well, I promised a second post. I sometimes keep my blog-word. (Procrastination is a problem. Yes.)

1. My pal Liz and I just discussed this, and I cannot stop cracking up. One day in high school I needed a pad. I had my period and I really needed one. Up until that point I'd always been prepared OR I'd ask a friend. I was really embarrassed to ask the nurse, but I did because I had no other options at the moment. So I work up the courage to go ask for a pad. And she says, "Hm, we might have one around here. Let me check." And starts going through drawers and shit. 

And then she pulls out a piece of paper and goes "I can't find a whole pad, but I do have paper. Do you also need a pen?" 

THE F IS THIS? So then I had to overcome even more embarrassment to say, "No, I have my period and I need a pad."

It hilarious now. Less so then. 

When I just told Liz about this, I couldn't stop laughing. (She was like, "BUT DID YOU GET A PAD?" and "Omg I thought you were gonna say she gave you like an open pad.") Ah, friends + funny stories. 

I swear, we don't hate each other. 

2. My friend Joe and I were at Fridays for lunch one day. It was great. We ordered food and chatted. I don't love Fridays, but I do enjoy their appetizers quite a bit. Their flatbreads are especially tasty. So I order a barbecue chicken flatbread. 

He and I are talking for a little while and then the food comes. I'm hungry. I'm almost always hungry. So I just start eating it. We keep talking and having a good time. Then, when I'm like half way through the meal I realize............

There's no chicken on it. 

........or bbq sauce. 

My barbecue chicken flatbread came without bbq sauce or chicken. Oh my God we both got a kick out of that one. And since I had already devoured half of it (um, pepper and cheese bread?), I felt like too much of an idiot to send it back or even say anything to the waitress at that point. Could not stop laughing.

3. I've told this story before in this post, but it's worth repeating because it's sort of my shining moment. 

My friend Dana and I were in Borders (RIP) and were just browsing around. We came across the Greek/Roman section and we saw a collection of Euripides' plays and grabbed it. We had read some of his plays in school, and it was nifty to recognize something in such a fancy ~intellectual~ section of the store. So I'm holding the book and I'm thinking, "Euripides. Euripides. What a dumb name - 'Euripides.' Who names their kids you-rip-a-deeze?" And then I laugh and turn to Dana because I've just had a rare brilliant (I'm normally more humble than this) thought. I look at her and say, in a ridiculous voice, "Hey, Dana - Euripides pages, you buy-a da book!" 

brb peeing myself. 

I love puns and I still can't believe I was clever enough - if only for one brief moment of my life - to come up with that. 

4. When my friend Stephanie, the most determined of us all, decided to make some sort of hair product out of some kind of seeds. And it looked like this:

5. On our way back from Disney, we were followed by a creepy, creepy man. The police ended up putting us in a hotel for the night while keeping an eye out and patrolling the roads. It was terrifying, actually. So we're in the room trying to sleep and we hear a knock on the window (the police specifically told us they'd call before knocking on the door). Everyone was freaked out and I jumped out of bed ready to throw down. My aunt also got out of bed and started walking toward the door. And then my cousin tells us it was my sister. The little effer was on the side of the bed closest to the window and decided it would be funny to scare the crap out of us. 

She was not wrong. It took everything in me not to laugh (didn't want to encourage her because it was a serious situation and the joke was on the borderline of not appropriate). She was yelled at. But every time I think of it now I crack up. I'm so proud every time one of the kids does or says something hilarious. This particular sister is somewhat unsure of herself and just really starting to show her personality, so it took balls to carry this joke out. 

That's all for this time! Good mood? Yes, ma'am.

Medical Update + run-on sentences describing my hospital stay in more detail than anyone wants

LOL

The last time I posted on the blogette I was semi-optimistic about my health and even went so far as to say I was going to start a routine at the Y that week. Well plans change. The next day I was admitted to the hospital. Again. Sigh. The bad news is they're not really sure what's wrong with me. The good news is I haven't dropped dead yet. I needed to go to the emergency room after over 13 hours of non-manageable pain. My symptoms were the same as my September stint in the hospital: severe pain, nausea, vomiting. Tests showed elevated liver enzymes and I guess my bile duct was dilated. Luckily, there wasn't an obstruction in the duct this time (or if there was, it was gone before imaging was done) and so my bilirubin was fine, I wasn't at risk for infection, it wasn't life threatening, and I only stayed for two days. I was, most unfortunately, back on my clear liquid diet.

I'm glad it wasn't as crazy as last time, but... it's harder this time. I'm more anxious, more stressed, more sad, and they are sending me to Charleston, SC. There's a hospital there that does special tests and procedures. They're risky - riskier than any other surgeries or procedures I've had. My doctors think I have a greater chance than most of developing pancreatitis from the procedures. But they also think I need to take those risks. My other option is to not only be in pain frequently, but endure multiple hospital stays a year and risk getting another obstruction (which again, could become life threatening). 

The hospital stay was shorter, but man. It sucked. Like I said, I'm weirdly anxious this time. I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because I was really, really starting to think I was doing better. I've made huge lifestyle changes, I haven't been to the ER (other than the car accident), I haven't needed to see the GI. No surgeries! Mild symptoms. So it surprised me to end up there again. I was so nervous in the hospital. I was fine and cheerful (post-pain meds. def not pre-pain meds) and I was talking to the doctor as my nurse attempted to put another IV in - never an easy job with me, for some reason. (I am used to the needles and even the dreadful "digging around" trying to find an IV and it doesn't bother me until/unless they're in my arm searching for veins for like 3+ minutes. But I did experience a new and rather discussing thing this time. My nurse got the IV, but as she flushed it with saline, it blew. That's fine, it doesn't hurt. BUT she was flushing it with fluid, so when the vein blew it immediately just sort of welled up. Not painful at all, but SO SO gross to look at - it was like a golf ball under the skin on my hand. It freaked me out. It freaked me out good.) But yes. Talking to the doctor. My nurse left to get another nurse to attempt an IV. My doctor and I were just chatting and then I got a nice chest pain - not unusual for me, but it was a little different from my normal pains. So what do I do? I start crying. Not at all embarrassing. I told her I was feeling much more anxious this time, and she told me to let her know if that continued - she said I didn't need to feel like that. Later that night I came really close to asking for something for my nerves as I could not stop worrying. This time wasn't as problematic as last time, so it doesn't make sense that I was (and am) more nervous, but there we have it. The hospital stay was basically just a long marathon of paranoid thoughts. 

   

The anxiety has died down a little. Not every pain causes me to panic. My doctor also helped by giving me something for nausea which is great since 1. this illness/situation makes me nauseous frequently and 2. I'm supposed to go to the ER if I throw up. So every time I'd get nauseous, I'd start to mega-worry that I was about to end up back in the hospital. At least with the medicine I can sort of control that (to an extent). 

The doctors don't know what's wrong, but they've got some ideas. (And at an appointment the other day, I was told there are "probably several different things wrong" with me. Terrific!) The very specific thing they're hoping to find out about via Charleston is my Sphincter of Oddi. Oh my gosh. "Oddi" is pronounced just like the letters O D. I could not stop laughing in the hospital when they told me the name. It sounds ridiculous, like something straight out of Thor. There's not much I understand about it, but at least I can get a kick out of the name. 

I'm also trying to change my diet even more. I've cut a lot of bad food out of my diet because I want to lose weight - and then I cut even more food out after my last hospital stay. Right now my diet really isn't bad at all, and they told me that there's probably no preventing what's happening to me, and that I'm not causing it with diet, but.. that I should cut out fatty foods anyway (a good rule for anyone, especially someone without a gallbladder and with recurring liver issues, I suppose). So I'm struggling to cut out even more kinds of food. It's been loads of fun. And wildly successful! I didn't just eat a bowl of ice cream.

So right now they're worried about the liver, the duct, and the pancreas. (And the sphincter of Oddi, which I think is just included in those things.) But I also developed some troubling (like really troubling) symptoms the other day, and now I need to be tested to rule out cancer. I don't actually think I have cancer. I don't think the doctors really think I have cancer. But I also don't like hearing the word "cancer" while in a doctor's office. So that's got me kinda scared. I also started having some telltale endometriosis symptoms while in the hospital. Go figure. I was all, "e tu, uterus?" Because for a while, the endo had really died down. There's some concern now that the endo growth on my intestines is causing problems. We shall see. 

Right now this is where I'm at: I've been in near-constant pain since leaving the hospital (it doesn't usually go above a 5 or 6 unless it flares, so I consider that mostly tolerable and manageable). I get tired early in the day because I've been trying to not just lay down all day. (And I still have family members insisting I'm not actually sick and that I "just need to see a nut doctor." Because my mental issues run so deep that I've now got the ability to make bile ducts appear dilated on MRI results.) I get nauseous, but it's under control. I'm more anxious than normal. I'm to look for certain symptoms and to return to the hospital if my pain increases, if I throw up, if I get a fever. I had blood work the other day and there are a few tests on there that could send me to the hospital if they don't check out okay (or near okay, anyway). 

I'm really freaking sick of all of this. It's been years now of medical crap and surgeries and hospitals and I think that's partially why I'm feeling on edge. But I'm trying to not be too bummed out about it. Or at least to not let being bummed out ruin every moment of every day. I'm trying to think of Charleston as a nice and well-needed vacation. (I don't know how I'm going to swing the trip lol? but I'll worry about that after I hear from them.) And my golf ball hand is mostly back to it's normal size, color, and tenderness, so there's that. :)
