My hubby is reading the latest Dune book (Hunters)…and he is trying to drive me nuts with possible baby names from the book!!!
argh!!!!
What ever you do, don’t let him pick a name until you find out what it means. I went to school once with a girl who’s first and second names were old englishy and meant stuff like fair and white. Which prompted a bit of mirth around the lunch table since she was a dark italian with brown/black hair. ;D
The boy’s name Duncan is pronounced DUN-kin. It is of Scottish and Gaelic origin, and its meaning is “dark warrior; brown fighter.” A royal name in early Scotland. Literary: in Shakespeare’s “Macbeth”, Duncan is king of Scotland.
A “Gurney” is a stretcher with wheels.
I’d stick with Duncan.
Dune names aren’t all that bad. There are some mundane names like: Paul, Duncan, Jessica, (Alia, Miles, <- possibly exotic depending on your locale)
Some more exotic names like: Leto, Vladimir, Chani, Sheeana, Wellington, Irulan (and some of these are regional normal too)
And some “gonna get picked on” names like: Thufir, Hwi, Gurney, Ghanima, Stilgar, Maud’Dib and anything TlielaxuPaul is nice, but it’s my dad’s name….so hubby wouldn’t pick it right there 🙂
Oh well, we’ll see what he comes up with next…
*waves* Newbie here.
I’ve got Hunters in my bag – I’m a bit leery of reading it cos … well… the son’s other books are the suxxors, IMO. So… is it any good? (more to the point, if I think the orig. series is the bees frellin’ knees, am I gonna be able to stand reading Hunters?)
Oh, and if someone could kindly PM and point me in the direction of avatar/sig info, that’d be just grand.
Hedgehog has a nice review of the book on one of the Sadcasts…IMO it is about 2x the size it needs to be and spends a lot of obvious time setting up for the next and supposedly last book…..but it is a quick read, so why not?
[quote=”Hollydays”]oh yeah, avatar….look up to the top of the page..you should see a “profile” button…..[/quote]
Yeah, I’m gettin’ error msgs when I try to upload. That’s why I figured mebbe I should ask if there was a limit or summit (ie 15 posts before yer allowed to get an av). I’ll try again later.Nope. Not a forum newbie, just new to this forum so I know that it’s not all the usual suspects. Image is 4kb, and 48 x 48.
this is the error message :
