Names!

I dunno Sybil makes me think of that women with multiple personality disorder, there was a book and a movie about her (I'm not sure if she was fictional or not)...

Yeah. And they've changed the spelling of her name Merlin knows how many times that I don't know what's the correct spelling nay longer.

I think Severus is the best first name. Albus? Hell no. Pomona? Gargh! Fillius? Alright.

As I've said before, Minerva and Severus are my favorite. Albus is ok as long as it's Dumbles name (NOT when it's a kid's name). Filius is ok. Pomona, urgh. Sybill, ok. Charity's (Burbage, the Muggle Studies professor name) a nice name. Cuthbert (Binns), how do you pronounce it, first of all? Aurora's (Sinistra) is also a nice name. Septima, not really fond of it.

Rubeus...I think I like his last name better than his first name in this case. =.=...

Septima alwasy reminds me of septic. >< Which reminds me of 'septic tank' and I'm left wondering who'd want to name their child after a tank of crap?

-tries to smother laughter-

I love Luna's name - it's just awesome.

Yeah, I like Luna's name. Although her father's name was a bit weird.

On the other hand, Grindelwald itself is alright but Gillert doesn't sound...Dark wizardish to me. (:says to self: No wonder Voldemort changed his name =.=...)

I know what you mean. Gillert sounds, for whatever reason, like it should be followed by 'Eat all your vegetables, or you won't get any dessert!'

Yes! Grindelwald really should've taken a leaf out of Voldemort's book. Keeping his name when he was supposedly the second evilest wizard in history *shakes head*. Gillert! Stop cursing the kids!

Gillert: *shivers* Yes, Mum....

Not to mention the fact that it also somewhat sounds like gillyweed. X.x...

Well, it makes me think of 'Dilbert' like the cartoon, and makes me think he should be in an office with a pointy-haired woman wearing an odd tie, holding a cup of coffee, and talking to a dog.

O.o...That, too, I guess. For some reason, it also reminds me of Jello. =.=...All in all, Grindelwald has a better last name than a first name.

Gillert. I reminds me of dessert.

We're really making fun of Grindelwald aren't we? Thank goodness he's not a real person or else we're really in for it (I mean, the second darkest wizard in history!).

It also makes me think of gills =.=....

I got Newt's book, "Fantastic beasts and Where to Find Them" out at the library. I'm in the middle of it right now.

Newt... Ye Gods, his mother is an idiot to call him that.

I'm wondering if his younger brother would be called Salamander or Lizard. =.=...

Komodo Dragon, anyone?

lol... Grindlewald makes me think of those evil seaweed devil things (grindylow? sp?)

Oh gosh...quik...lol...now we have a new name for him. Gillert Grindelwald = Gillyweed Grindylow

=.=...*is once again happy that Grindelwald's not a real person*

I kind of happy all these people are real (and not just because we mock them mercilessly), if they were they'd be less fun to theorize about.

Yup. That would actually be pretty horrible in a way, wouldn't it?

That's very true (and I think you meant not real?). I mean, then we can't talk about how Grindelwald was yelled at by his mother when he was a kid.

"Gillert! Eat your spinach!" XD

Anyway, back to the names...

I find most of the Death Eaters' names quite nice, although they're not that common. I mean, like, Rodolphus, Rabastan, Bellatrix...I find all of them quite nice.

Grindewald always reminded me of Grendel. The troll, yeah? At least, I'm pretty sure he was a troll.....

From Beowulf. Yeah, I'm that lame -_-

For some reason Grendel reminds me of Gretel. =.=....

The names of the Founders are quite nice, although I'm not particularly fond of Helga. @@

I kinda like Helga. I dunno. ><

It just seemed more unique compared to the other founders whose names all seemed to fit together, you know?

Salazar, Goderic, Rowena.....all very romantic/historical and then....Helga? It made it more unique to me. That and I've always had a soft-spot for hufflepuff. They have, by far, the coolest mascot. Badgers can kill wolves, you know?

*is now hiding from her ravens for the blasphemy*

Yeah - I think that Hufflepuff doesn't deserve all the dissing it gets, I mean, they have the best traits!! I'd rather be known as sdomeone who was loyal and friendly ^_^ My true personality.

Lol.

But I like all the houses.

I agree, however, I personaly think that everyone judges Slytherins too much. I'm sure there not all evil. And Salazar is an awsome name!
