Cass 4 ever

I have always loved the name Alice but spelled the old fashioned way Alys but recently I love the added S at the end.

I need to mention Alys is not a recent made up spelling, or illiterate spelling as some will say. There is evidence the name was in use as far back as the 12th Century but perhaps even further back than then. The most notable bearer I have found was Alys, Countess of the Vexin.

Also I am not naming a child this I am just asking for honest but respectful opinions. Thanks!

Elixabete is the Basque form of Elizabeth. The internet says it is pronounced ee-LEESH-ah-bet-UH. I think it should be pronounced ee- LICKS-ah-bet-UH because Elixa looks like Elixir.

What are your thoughts on the name and what would you say is the proper pronunciation.

The mother is one of my main characters. Plant names are common. These are all Latin names for plants.

Virginiana Lilac (Pronunciation of Virginiana: vir-JIN-ee-AHN-ah) Nickname while young: Lila

Artemisia Lilia (Pronunciation of Artemisia: ahr-te-MEE-zhah, Ar-tay-MEE-zee-uh, AARTAHM-ZHAH Pronunciation of Lilia: LIL-ee-ah, LEE-lee-ah) Nickname while young: Lili

Ravensara Lotus (Pronunciation of Ravensara: RAY-vin-Sahr-Uh or RAY-vin-sair-uh) Nickname while young: Lot or Raven

What are your thoughts on the names? Bear in mind this is a science fiction / fantasy novel set in the future.

One of my friends had a hard time pronouncing Virginiana and I haven't told her about Artemisia & Ravensara yet. Are these names too hard to say. I am pretty set.

BQ: Are there any other five letter L flower names that might work for Ravensara middle name other than Lotus?

Ravensara is a genus of trees in Madagascar. It's sometimes called clove nutmeg. I thought it would make a good name for one of my characters.

I pronounce it RAY-vin- Sahr-Uh or RAY-vin-sair-uh

Thanks!

How do I determine how much is needed if a insect repellent recipe says take ten parts water to ten parts olive oil or other vegetable oil to one part citronella oil. How much do I do for whatever container I am using. It is probably simple and I am over thinking it.

What is the difference and which is better and safer for a lip balm.

Thanks!

I am not having a kid nor planning on one anytime soon.

I am just wondering what people think of the name Memphis Belle. I may add this to my favorite names list on my blog. Thanks!

I attempted to make a butter-cream frosting the other day. When I got done it was anything but a proper butter-cream. It looked like a batter, not wanting to waste it we drizzled it over our individual pieces of cake because it was so sweet. What did I do wrong? Also we have a lot left so can it be frozen?

Chai Butter-Cream Recipe

2 Chai teabags

1/4 Cup Boiling Water

1 Cup Unsalted Butter or Margarine, Softened

8 Cups Confectioners Sugar

1/2 Cup Cold Milk

1- Prepare a very strong tea by steeping the teabags in boiling water for 10 minutes.

2- Meanwhile, cream the butter in a large bowl using an electric mixer until fluffy. Add confectioners sugar, and continue creaming until well blended.

3- Pour tea into cold milk; beat milk into frosting until incorporated. Continue beating frosting until fluffy.

In a recipe it says add a few drops of Almond Extract. I don't have almond extract and it seems too expensive at the store for something I won't use that much. Is there a substitute for almond extract or would it be fine to just leave it out of the recipe since it only said add a few drops.

Thanks!

I am writing a novel and I am a little unsure if this is classified as plagiarism. In my story my character is describing how to make a citronella spray and then in another section she is describing how to make a flammable gel. I found the citronella spray and flammable gel methods on the internet but I described the method in my own words but I used the internet version as a guide. Is using it at all even in my own words still classified as plagiarism.

Hope this makes since.

**********THIS IS FOR A NOVEL I AM WRITING*****

If an adult takes anywhere from 3-6 berries from a Deadly Nightshade plant or known by some as a Belladonna plant or Atropa Belladonna, you get deathly ill and some die.

On a site I found it said you should seek medical care but it said start taking an emetic immediately. An emetic is something that causes vomiting. It said warm vinegar or mustard and water will do it and perhaps a stomach pump would need to be done. Then it said after vomiting a person should be administered Magnesia, a stimulant and strong coffee.

What exactly is magnesia and what does it do and how is it made? What would be a stimulant? Wouldn't strong coffee be a stimulant and wouldn't strong coffee upset a stomach that had just been emptied by vomiting?

Would calabar beans be effective in a deadly nightshade berry poisoning?

Would you pronounce it RAG-nahr or RAWNG-nar.

Down in the Ground Where the Dead Men Lie.

I am just curious as to what you think would come next if you read this in a book. I am planning on writing another short story with this line in it and I already have the next line but I am curious as to what comes to mind when you read this and what you think would be the next line.

BQ: If you read this line would you keep reading?

I will put a link below to a picture by NeneThomas, if I were to use the look of the couple what would be a good name.

I was thinking of naming the woman Lady Catherine and the man Lord Ragnar the third. If you have suggestions leave them. Thanks!

The link to the pic is below:

I read why the author of Clockwork Orange chose his title but why do other authors (mostly Dysotopian, Urban Fantasy novel titles) choose to put Clockwork in the title, what does it mean. If it is a simple answer I will feel dumb for asking this.

Thanks!

So say there were siblings named:

Silas

Barnabas

Gaius

Damaris

They all have an ending with an Us or Is sound depending on your accent. Would that be super weird? They are biblical names so pronunciations in the bible we often similar.

BQ: How does this sibling combo sound?

Male) Timothie Asher

Male) Silas

Male) Barnabas Grey

Male) Gaius

Female) Damaris

Female) Keziah Elizabeth

BQ 2: What are good biblical middle names to go with Silas, Gaius, and Damaris?
