But I spent like two hours googling and those were the only names that were both from the ethnic tradition I needed AND were remotely pronounceable AND that had the meaning I needed them to have. (And actually, the meanings they have totally rocks. Makes my plot more awesome, too, actually.)<br /><br />So, they grow on me. But I confess, I don't read them as "Sheelah" and "Shanna," like they're supposed to be. I read them as "Cilla" and "San-uh" <br /><br />oh well. I'll decide later. ;-)SWILUAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14676123927004595983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12658930.post-90092700480945240032010-03-19T23:01:11.281-06:002010-03-19T23:01:11.281-06:00I think weird names are distracting.
