Yillara Skye 1 Posted August 16, 2003 I loved the idea! It was very fitting, that is why I wanted share this with everyone. Side note:if you scroll down a bit..I also really like the new planetary moon names, in particular Saturn's. It is so great to finally see Scandinavian/Germanic mythology being used for names(Ymir, Suttung, et al.) as well as Celtic(Albriorix) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, I agree...I love Greek mythology, but it is getting old. I was thrilled about the Germanic, Celtic and Scandinavian ones because those are mythologies from some of my ancestry. Native American would really be interesting too(ok, ok, so I am also part Cree) Chinese would be great, as would native Australian. Or literary, because after all they have used Shakespearean names... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
