There is one language on this island (though we'll see some culture variance later in the next book, severly).<BR/><BR/>This novel, "Forgotten Star" is what I'll be submitting for crit. I'm trying not to put too many secrets/story details into my blog entries. I don't want to ruin it!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping in. :)<BR/><BR/>DawnD.M.

As long as all these characters are in the same culture, and as long as it is the norm to name children with special meaning that arises at the time of their birth, I say go for it. To me it really sets the stage early for some depth of culture.<BR/><BR/>My only thought was do these people speak English, or some other language? Or is there some ancient language that they could draw on for names? Sometimes it is good to have a name mean one thing, but be in a different language. My son's name means "Asked of God" we named him that on purpose, but we don't go around calling him Asked of God, we call him Samuel. Just a thought.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I look forward to reading your work in the Crit Circle. Which story are you going to be giving us?D.
