Names you can't believe you got.

[The Dragoness]

Pirate's Chest. Wow. 

[Knuckerbearer]

I still can't believe I got the name Stargleam for my male silver. It was some years ago, but I still feel so lucky.
I also feel fortunate I was able to get Chessyl for one of my azure Gemshards.  Apparently I decided to look up Azurite and some places it's found before anyone else!

The kind of name you expect would definitely have been grabbed before 2010 !

Similarly, today I got Arkstorm ??!!!????

[Whirlaway]

Mildly surprised about getting 'Summoned Lightning' on a Thunder.

[Dragon_Arbock]

Recently got Shock Serpent for a Xenowyrm.

[Aalbiel]

Also snagged Luminiferous Ether for a Celestial - imho, truly excellent - I'm just having the best day !

[bandaidstealer]

Grabbed some holiday themed names for my holiday lineages:

White Chris Mess

Ama Ryllis

Hap E Holly Days

Hol E Berry

Ginger B Read

Marcia Mallow

Pepp R Mint

[Brekke]

Rosado Thuwed.  Rosado is pink in Spanish.  How has nobody ever named a pink Thuwed that?

[Lovecats]

Can't believe I got 'Seymour Skinner' despite the name 'steamed hams' already being taken. I'm also happy to have gotten a couple pickle-related names as well as 'WWIII'.

[Sunrunner]

I finally named my CB Snow Angels, lo these many years later; my very first event dragons after picking up a scroll in Nov. 2009 - and no one had snapped up 'Feathered Wish' or 'Snowing Feathers'?  Really?  Wow!

[WildestRose]

I was surprised that I managed to grab 'A Special Day' and 'A Special Night' to go along with it. I was honestly expecting them to be names that got snatched up years ago.

I just got "Godspeed Little Doodle." (Does little dance to The Simpsons theme.)

[WhisperingMoon]

I was pretty surprised when I got "The tree's shadow" and "Diamond-encrusted" although I guess they aren't that impressive

[Toyo]

How the heck did I get "Mr Claus?" 

 

Mrs, Ms, Missus Claus all taken, though. 

[Brekke]

Key Out of Time for an Aeon Wyvern.  So...no Andre Norton fans around here?

[Kelkelen]

Z-Morph
Morph-Master
North-Star
Blitzen Donder

 

aaaaand...

Alien-Nation
Tencton
Tenctonese
Matt Sikes
George Francisco
Susan Francisco
Buck Francisco
Emily Francisco
Cathy Frankel
Andarko
Binnaum

(Incidentally, I got Puss-In-Boots years ago -- never occurred to me to grab the Duke of Carabas, though!  Congrats, Miaplacidus!)

[Aie]

Toto's Africa? Really? 

[Whirlaway]

Apprehender.

 

Just, that makes me happy because one of my favorite character's from a game has an ability named 'Apprehend' and Apprehender sounds neat too.

[ShinyShinx]

I got an Ember with the Code a2GOd, and was surprised that Burning His Halo wasn't taking

[Sesshomaru]

I just saved "King Ragnar Lothbrok." Well, then.

[Sunrunner]

A whole bunch of Madeleine L'Engle  characters & references, mainly from the Time Quintet!  One of my absolute favorite childhood authors/series - I couldn't have survived my teen years without these books, no fooling .  Meg Murry was my personal hero.   No one grabbed these yet, so gave 'em to my Aeons & their offspring - though I did have to fiddle with a couple of them :

Margaret Meg Murry

Charles Wallace Murry

Calvin OKeefe

Mrs Whatsit

Mrs  Who

Mrs Which

Sandy Murry

Dennys Murry

Dr Kate Murry

Dr Alex Murry

The Happy Medium

Aunt Beast

Wrinkling Time

Tessering

Kything

Branwen Maddox O'Keefe

Polyhymnia Polly O'Keefe

Vicky Austin

Adam Eddington

Zachary Gray

Canon Tallis

 

AND I managed to name each CB Silver with the St. Patrick's Rune from 'A Swiftly Tilting Planet'!  Some lines had to be fiddled cuz they were longer that 32 characters, but I made it all fit, & now I wanna do a PB lineage with them all .

"In this fateful hour,

I place all Heaven with its power,
And the sun with its brightness,
And the snow with its whiteness,
And the fire with all the strength it hath,
And the lightning with its rapid wrath,
And the wind with its swiftness along its path,
And the sea with its deepness,
And the rocks with their steepness,
And the Earth with its starkness
All these I place
By God's almighty help and grace

Between myself and the powers of darkness"

^ I stole Meg Murry years ago, and recently began using it. Sorry. ;w;

Mentalism. I know it isn't a super commonly used word, but...really, no one thought of that?

[Sesshomaru]

I think it's a bit presumptuous to assume no one thought of it. That no one thought enough of it to use it would be fairer to say. Boom. Mentalism.

 

Back in 2012, I swiped "Silmarils" the Light Lumina, and I'm chuffed now as I was then. It might be my favorite common on my own scroll.
