[hersurvival]

Girls are never named on a whim,

There is no vagrancy involved within the decision.

For in dreams and subliminal messaging,

The spirits lend a guiding hand

To grant a girl a word of her own.

Beyond the composition of letters is a story,

Is an inspiration, a meaning.

And it's foolish to assume any girl you encounter

Is less than exactly what the cosmic forces

Envisioned.

As girls become women,

They may find a new word, a better fit.

But this, too, was predestined in the heavens

For a girl herself is divine intervention.

(Take a girl I know, who's name she deeply dislikes,

Despite it being said she's a great queen.

These days she has chosen to go by Flame

And I've never known a brighter, more powerful being.)

Note: The Chinese names included aren't really "old money" because we don't really associate names with money or position. The younger generation of Asian people usually have English names as well Chinese ones (instead of a romanised Chinese name). All Chinese surnames can also be "old money" because lots of people have the same surname.

Side-note: quite a lot of "old-money" kids have joint surnames from both parents, so you could try doing that for your characters

I used Google for a lot of names from cultures I'm not familiar with so I could be very wrong! Please correct me if I’m wrong!!!

QOTD: What’s your main character’s name and why did you choose that name?

AOTD: Mine is Fletcher Cheung, I chose Fletcher because it felt very powerful, and not a lot of girls (especially Chinese girls) have that name so it was memorable.
