...how do you know when you've found a name for yourself? Nothing seems to fit.

Most people don't name themselves.

[notyourdouble]

[oh. you. :|]

Yeah, well, most people aren't created to replace someone else.

[madcuriosity]

[Yes me =P]

Well I gave you a perfectly good name. It's not my fault you don't want to use it.

[notyourdouble]

[:| makes an annoyed noise]

I didn't say it was, stupid. It just doesn't fit right.

[madcuriosity]

Do you even remember the name?

[notyourdouble]

...Ryder, wasn't it?

[madcuriosity]

Oh you do!... Why don't you think it fits?

[notyourdouble]

It just.

[pauses, foundering for words]

It doesn't feel right.

And I don't ride anything, so it doesn't make sense.

[madcuriosity]

Do you have an idea on what does feel right?

[notyourdouble]

Not really. I can't take a name I know someone else already has.

[madcuriosity]

You'd need to make up a name then. Every name somewhere has been used by someone.

[notyourdouble]

How do you make up a name?

Maybe it'd be fine as long as I don't know anyone with the same name. I just don't want to copy anyone; I want it to be my name so people will think of just me and not anyone else.

[madcuriosity]

You put letters together in a way that sounds pleasant to you.

Like... hmm...

Well I think the name Eldra is pleasant but not Heldra. And Aleara is a lovely name while to me Alearko does not. Simply like that!

[notyourdouble]

[there's a long pause before his next message comes]

Oh.

[madcuriosity]

So, then what name sounds nice to you? Or I could make one up for you if you prefer.

[notyourdouble]

I dunno. I've never made up a word before.
