This is very random but. I think a lot about the name of my oc Rüß. It was originally just a stand-in name and was spelled "Russ." But I didn't want people to pronounce it "Ruh-ss" so I changed it to "Ruß" and then to "Rüß" bcs that's the way to pronounce it but it was also fun to use special characters. But then ended up at the same place I started: some people still won't know how to pronounce her name bcs the ü and ß 😭 I think my one friend called her "Rub" in her head for a while. But it is now eternally her name and I don't call her by her full name :)

#ugh and this german guy i knew #was all like ummmm ruß means soot in german so why is that her name 🤨#BCS I WANTED TO USE THE ESZETT OKAY I THOUGHT ITD BE FUN #little does everyone know she was named russ bcs i wanted a russian oc and couldnt think of a name instantly LOL #its so boring when you make ocs when you're older and you start becoming logical abt it #i used to look at lists of 'weird/unique kids name' when i would make ocs #<- and honestly its left me in such a difficult place 😭#bcs some of the names are cringe to me but theyre too stuck in my head to change ever #so sometimes they have full names but i just never call them thay #also last names. bane of my existence #but lmao rüß prob has the most well formed name bcs i made her when i was older #also i feel like ive changed the cyrillic spelling like 5 times at least #she is a woman of mystery!!!!#also that soot thing forced me to come up w a whole plot contrivance #but its fine bcs she's like the only oc where different names do have different connotations to her #so its a fun little lore bit #OKAY YEAH ANYWAYS take this random ramble #i miss my children #catie.rambling.txt
