Happy Monday, friends!
And a happy belated Thanksgiving!
I'm back from having survived (& won!) NaNoWriMo for the first time!!! This was my third time participating, and OHMIGOODNESS it went so smoothly (with just two or three grace days)! I had a rather detailed outline (unfinished, but that didn't make any difference with the story thus far), and WOW it helped so much! I SO LOVE MY STORY, Y'ALL. TT_TT *happy tears*
Anyways, I'm planning a sum-up NaNo post for later this week & hopefully the final part of Christine's Know the Novel linkup as well, so stay tuned for those!!
In the meantime, here's some fresh new names for you! I've missed these posts the past few weeks, but it was quite nice not having to worry about getting them together with my writing/NaNo taking priority. Thanks for understanding! I hope November was a blast for you also, dear bean!
Enjoy. :]

French diminutive of Marine, which is the French & Georgian feminine form of Marinus, meaning "of the sea" in Latin.
M | Irish
Irish form of James (which is ultimately derived from the root name Jacob, meaning "supplanter").

Combination of María ("beloved") & Sol ("sun"), or Soledad ("solitude"). It also resembles the Spanish phrase mar y sol, "sea & sun."

I just wanted you to know these posts are always so helpful. I ended up using a bunch of names you've featured in my NaNo novel! I was trying to name some characters and went to my list of names I've got which are mostly names I've gotten from YOU and chose some favorites. So THANK YOU for making these posts. They're fantastic! <3
