I mean, great show and all, but isn't giving someone that name sort of like giving his classmates license to beat the crap out of him in the school yard for years? :D .-= Jen Whitten´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.yourlittlestsin.com/lwlu-another-proposal" rel="nofollow">LWLU – Another Proposal</a> =-.

I'll get into a mythology text to verify one fact and the next thing I know, I've spent an hour getting ALL the backstory that led up to a particular name. Babe, I think hubby would send me to a padded cell over that one. A lot I can get away with, but...that's not one of 'em. ;) I know!

I could pull the book of my shelf to spout off why they're important, but then I'd just be outing myself as a total mythology dork! ;) Star - Princes Lucifer Dragon Queen? You mean that's not an acceptable name? Hmmm...*throws away form for legal name change* I feel compelled to point out that Hades, Venus and Pluto also have significance in mythology.
