i've always loved the name vivienne, so that would get my vote! those are all lovely, though, and fitting. :0 second and third favorites on the list would be janus and kyrie, i think.
and i've picked out some potential latin names for the audino girl! a nice list, for your perusing: aida (helper) candide (pure, bright) levana (risen) lilianna (gracious lily) march (walk forth) nova (new) ordell (beginning) perdita (lost woman) terentia (tender) verna (truth)

I'm really liking Aida, Terentia, Nova, and maybe March for a last name or something.
Since you like Vivienne I'll certainly use it. I'll see if I can add Kyrie and Janus in there too. Maybe Avis (bird) too...and I'm using some version of Aleda/Alida because I just can't resist.

ooh, using march as a last name is a good idea! i think maybe i'll make her full name terentia aida march, and possibly the name she starts going by after the fugue will be "nova"? best of all worlds i can't wait to see what you pick for your girl, i definitely like aleda/alida too, and the other names could probably get put together in an interesting way!

Terentia Aida March sounds lovely and even sort makes sense (tender helper walk forth). And Nova would give her the best of both, so I vote yes for that too.
First name for VL shall be one of these (all meaning small winged one): Adela, Adelita, Adelyna, Adelyta, Alaida, Aldina, Aldine, Aldona, Aldyne, Aleda, Aleida, Aleta, Alidia, Alita, Alyda, Dela, Oleda, Oleta.
Middle name shall be Vivienne.
Last name shall be Lallo or Lalo or some version of that after I ask Graz for help working with it. It's technically a male name meaning 'to sing a lullaby' but I'd like it to be female or neutral and to just mean lullaby or something. Safe to say I'll bug Graz.
I may add a second middle name, possibly. Anyway, do you have any opinion on the mess of first names there? I kinda like the O ones, but I wouldn't know which to pick.

i kind of like the way adelyna vivienne flows together, you know? so i would vote for adelyna, although oleta or dela would work well also. :0 and i like the idea for the last name! i think you could even go with just lallo, last names don't have to be gender adherent, but if you want it to fit then i'm sure that can be done. c:

Aldine Vivienne Lalo is what I choose then, possibly with an extra 'l' in Lalo. I'll just ask for Graz's help tomorrow because I might as well; it isn't as though we're making these guys tonight.
EDIT: Graz suggested Sopio or Soporo, both meaning lullaby or Cantus (meaning song).
So it's... Aldine Vivienne Sopio Aldine Vivienne Soporo Aldine Vivienne Cantus
What do you think? I'm liking the S ones, but...

Soporo it is then. Aldine Vivienne Soporo. Not bad, I don't think.
So, anything else important before we make them? I'm afraid I'll be gone during November (NaNoWriMo) but I should be active after that. You could make Terentia first, of course, which would fit in with the timeline we've made up better anyway. But still - your choice.

hmmm... asides from maybe specifics to work out about their relationship before terentia's disappearance, and also things like how they met and what-not, nope! i think we've figured out the important stuff! 8)
oh, unless we want to rename the region/city to sound latin; we can just take a word out of lorem ipsum and that should work fine? or we could find latin words with actual meaning. either way!
no worries about low activity in november. C: i totally understand! and if i get the chance, i may do just that; you're right, getting terentia started a little early would fit nicely. once i'm done with kenzie and have him on his way, i'll get started on terentia!

Relationship --> What specifics are you thinking about? I'm sure we could work 'em out here. As for how they met, I see them meeting when Aldine investigates Terentia's organization (posing as a reporter) and no one else will even talk to her beyond a few sentences because she's weird and rude.
Rename --> I really don't care what the city/region is named. Call it whatever you'd like, latin words or no.
November --> Glad to hear you aren't annoyed. I'm really pretty dead during November and I don't plan to give it up. You'd have to wait 'til Novemer 1st for the results of the poll, but otherwise there's no reason not to start her as soon as possible.

i like the idea of that being how they meet haha! but as for specifics... well, maybe not SPECIFICS so much as a general idea of how their relationship would progress. if aldine is undercover as a reporter, what would push the relationship past being politely friendly (or tolerating, at least) but mostly professional? it really could just be as simple as because terentia talks with her willingly, they wind up chatting often enough that they decide to do coffee or something outside of the workplace, and from there they become actual friends and eventually lovers through that kind of progression. just wanted to swing it all by you so we're on the same page when it comes to writing up histories hehe! alrighty, i'll pick something out! let's see... lumitas city in the region of clarusica? if google translate hasn't been steering me horribly wrong, both names deal with luminosity and brightness and basically make the region and city sound like a giant shining pinnacle of glory and what-not, which it of course is not in actuality. i like irony. yeah it's cool! i'm excited to see what you come up with for nano, and in the meantime i'll be whipping up terentia's profile. perhaps i'm counting my chickens before they hatch, but i feel pretty confident that the poll will lead to the general consensus that shiny resticted morphs are fine as long as there's regulation. if i turn out to be horribly wrong then that's a bridge i can cross once i come to it hahah!

Relationship ---> I see the relationship being a little more rocky than that. In my mind, it goes something like this....
Terentis tells Aldine about the charity while Aldine is posing as a reporter. Aldine realizes that Terentia would be able to find out vital information about the drugs (which she needs because the police don't quite believe her) if Terentia wasn't part of the drug dealing ring. Aldine stalks Terentia. Terentia catches her (not in the sense of 'you followed me around, you stalker' but in the sense of 'you seem to be at my favourite places a lot....') Aldine claims a crush on Terentia, pulling up her acting skills to make herself seem realistic. She thinks this will make Terentia embaressed enough to leave quickly and try not to think about it. Instead, Terentia asks her on a date. Aldine is stunned, but uses the date as an excuse to look at Terentia's phone and so make sure she's not part of the drug people. Since she finds out that Terentia isn't part of the drug group, Aldine tells Terentia about her investigation and asks for her help. Terentia is very upset, believing that Aldine never actually liked her, which throws Aldine off, as she only expected anger from Terentia at wasting her time. She manages to convince Terentia to help her with the logic of 'but this is wrong, and that doesn't change because you're upset with me'. Terentia's still upset. Aldine's beginning to realize she cares. They meet to discuss plans frequently during this time and when Aldine thinks that Terentia's dangerous sneaking to find the information is required, she tries to delay it. Aldine visits Terentia with a gift (something she likes, preferably something no one else knows about) and explains everything she felt from the day of meeting Terentia up until that day (surprised, impressed, attracted) in the hope that this will make Terentia happy again, as she was before she met Aldine. It's really awkward. And then either Terentia leaves, not saying whether she forgives Aldine or not, but before her dangerous mission thing, kisses Aldine once or twice OR Terentia forgives Aldine right there and they start a relationship for maybe a week before dangerous mission thing.
Of course, that's just how I see it, and I admit I don't know what you're planning for Terentia's personality, but...
City ---> I like irony too, so I completely agree. Lumitas and Clarusica sound wonderful.
Poll ---> I'm pretty sure the poll will do that as well; who wants to not be able to make a character? But yeah, no point in thinking about it now. Anyway, if you'd like to see what I do for NaNo you could check out my profile on the NaNo site to see if you'd like it. My username's crownoflaurel and the title of my story is Shadowed.

Turbulence is fun. I plan for far more when they meet here and Terentia seems not to remember her... I'm glad you can work with it because it fits Aldine so very well.
Thank you. My profile's rather boring actually (my book is going to be awesome though). I should go make it cooler.

#interjection
What annoys me about NaNoWriMo is that I’m never sure if Britishers are allowed to take part or not since it’s a National event, but even so, I fully intend to.
