I thought it was boring, I even changed the spelling of it for a while (my little rebellion) to Aemi. I do agree that there are those names that are not 'transferable' between time periods and or genre's sometimes.Amy J Rominehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01155632376239386078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8915423025917785375.post-54405733918562802542011-03-24T15:43:14.362-07:002011-03-24T15:43:14.362-07:00It's also a problem when a name sounds modern,...It's also a problem when a name sounds modern, but isn't.

I wanted to write a story about a secondary character, but decided I didn't like her name after all. I may still write her story, but it's on the back burner.Anna Kathryn Lanierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10607469543348819190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8915423025917785375.post-32879009133815711862011-03-24T09:18:00.559-07:002011-03-24T09:18:00.559-07:00I absolutely agree, Ginger :) (Yes, I made it!
