What's in a Name - Part 3

so very cool to see these origins come to life here.

I put some thought into it, as I was trying to come up with something different than my usuals.  "Holli" is from Hollian, a character I liked in the Stephen R. Donaldson Chronicles of Thomas Covenant books, and "nova" is just something to sound science-y and bright.  That it ends up looking like Holy Nova is fine, in that I like the spell in World of Warcraft (heals everyone around you).

nice!

[Rikyra]

My youngest brother (3 years older than me) wanted to write a book for a time. He likes names that have meaning and spent a long time combining words in old languages to make meaningful names that sound good. He told me he was going to base a character off of me and named her Rikyra, which means "quiet powerful one." He never ended up writing anything, but I loved the name and its meaning and started using it for literally everything.

When I look inward, there are two things inside my mind: me, and the "big black tangly ball of things I'm not allowed to think about."

[1959 CPTSD SURVIVOR]

Nothing fancy or very creative. Just the year I was born and the fact that I'm a survivor. Boring, huh?
