What's In A Name?

Nov 11, 2010 11:37

I'm looking for stories that feature naming as a prominent theme. Whether it be 'What's Blair's middle name (I see Jacob a lot is that canon? 'Cause I also see some more 'hippie' names like Sunshine, and Rainbow, and the like.)' or Jim and Blair naming a child, or Jim and/or Blair re-naming themselves when they come into their Sentinel/Guide powers ( Read more... )

theme: sentinels/guides known, character: naomi, character-related: blair's past, *recs, character-related: jim's past, theme: sentinel/guide bond, theme: adoption, character: grace ellison, hurt: amnesia, fic type: kid, category: gen, character: william ellison, category: slash

It's canon that Blair doesn't know his father so any relatives would be Naomi's but it does seem that he has some he knows pretty well. In Spare Parts he says:

Jim: How do you know so much about this?
Blair: I spent a summer driving across country in my uncle's rig. I did half the driving. Want me to take you through the basics again?

which implies that Naomi kept in touch with her family.

From the same episode:

Blair: You don't have to! She's very open, totally new age. One of the original hippies. She even used to date Timothy Leary. Well, not date ... actually more like live with. In fact, I always thought he might have been...
Jim: Your father? (They enter hallway.) Well, knowing you, that doesn't surprise me, Chief.
Blair: Well, I did have a lot of candidates to consider. Seemed like every man Naomi met would fall in love with her. She never stayed with any of them for very long though.
Jim: Well, that's too bad.
Blair: What? Are you kidding me? It was great! I went to three World Series, five NBA playoff games. Beautiful.
Jim: I meant for her.
Blair: You don't know my mom.

From Vendetta we hear about more relatives:

Blair: Yeah, I do. Um, I got some cousins that live in Fort Worth and they don't really, uh... They don't really talk like that down in Texas. You either got yourself... You either got yourself a little lilt or you got yourself a twang, right?

A while back, Magician and I tried to figure out where Blair would have lived in order to have seen 3 World Series and 5 NFL playoff games.

To be honest, I wondered about it and Magician did all the think work in trying to figure it out.

That's very cool! I love it when we take sparse canon facts and build a bridge with them :-)
