For those unfamiliar with the wonderful world of Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, a mossoak is a fairy creature made out of a log of wood pulled out of a bog and enchanted to resemble Jonathan Strange's wife (in order to trick him into giving his real wife to the fairy). Of course, because she's stolen someone else's identity, she doesn't have a name of her own. I'm writing a story where she gets one, but I can't decide which one.

All names were picked from the most contemporary 'baby name book' I could find (which was, admittedly, 1860s instead of 1810s, but then, there weren't name collections like that before then, so I think it can be forgiven).

Reasoning and meanings under the read more so that you can pick a name just by how it sounds if you want, but if you're like me and think way too hard about this sort of thing, you can take a peek first and then make your choice.

Amaranth - 'unfading flower' obviously a nice uplifting plant-related name. It's also entirely possible that the mossoak is immortal for as long as the bargain remains unmade, so it felt appropriate.

Diarma - feminine form of Diarmid; 'oak-father' literally one of only two names in the book that had anything to do with oak trees.

Melanthusa - 'dark flower' given that something of a big deal is made of her wearing black when Jonathan so hates to see his wife in black, this felt appropriate.

Minna - 'born in memory' given that the mossoak was 'born' from Arabella's tears this felt particularly poignant.

Petala - 'a young leaf' figurative for a young girl or maiden. I like the poetry of it, and it also makes reference to the fact that the mossoak, despite being technically very old, is very very young when it comes to this being human business.

Scione - 'one who lives in the shade' this has a very nature-y vibe, but also, the mossoak is very much living in the shadow of another, and it gave me very bittersweet feels.

Sylvia - 'from a forest', which doesn't need much explanation, I don't think, but it also means 'strange', which is both funny and also poignant, because she is a bit alien to everything human.

Thalia - 'flourishing', a wish for the future in terms a tree would understand? I just really like the name and the meaning seemed to fit.

Zillah - 'shadow' in the sense of shelter and protection from the sun, which is appropriate both in the sense of her once having been a tree, but also, again, in the sene of her being a shadow or echo of Arabella, and also, perhaps, of needing protection.

Uplifting Songs Tag

Rules: Pick a song that lifts your mood. Pick 10 people. Lift them up. Keep it going (no obligation) Share the music, share the love. 

I was tagged by @maladi777 ♡ 

I have a lot of songs that lift my mood, but the one that does it the most for me when I need to pull myself out of the pits of depression is Fire Escape by Andrew McMahon. This song was in the Sims 4 Cats and Dogs trailer and I’m so glad the sims team introduced me to this song because it has become one that I love soooooo much. When I need to get into a better mood I just put this on repeat for literally the whole day. 💖 

And now to tag the next victims!!! Mwuahahahaaa 💘
