Right, so this may get long. My husband and I have very different tastes in names, which has sparked this debate since we found out we're having a girl. My husband has a tree last name that's one syllable which has narrowed the field somewhat. It doesn't help that he really likes one syllable first names, which I don't like with the one syllable last name. But one syllable nicknames are great. We have a list of names that one of us likes, and the other can live with, but I'd really like to find a name that we both are good with and not just tolerate. Any suggestions are welcome.

Names I like: Maxine (Max), Cora (though I prefer it as short for Coraline or Corinne, which he doesn't), Sadie, Sora, Cara, Kaia

Names he likes: Rachel, Jesse, Tambry

This is without the approximately 100 names that have been vetoed (mostly by him as he's suggested a grand total of 7 names, lol)

I've got a couple of options for a title for my current work and was just wondering what title stands out more to you without knowing anything of the plot. Any comments you have on any of them would be greatly appreciated as well. The options are:

Strange World

St. Lawrence Academy

Academy of the Strange

Only Human

A Whole New World

I just remembered this book I read as a kid and loved, about this girl who was a changeling. Her parents raised her not knowing and she looked different from everyone and could see the Fae. Eventually she figured out that she was a changeling and went underhill to rescue her parent's real daughter. I think she had a friend who was a boy (he might have been a shepherd?) and I think there was something about a flute or pipe that she or someone played. If anyone can tell me the name of this book I'll be grateful! It's driving me up the wall

So I primarily read fantasy, as in it's 95% of what I read. I'm pretty open to anything. Some of my favourite authors include Mercedes Lackey, Terry Pratchett, L.E. Modesitt Jr., Elizabeth Haydon, Scott Lynch, Jane Lindskold, and S.D. Tower. Any recommendations would be great, thanks!

I'm working on a story involving a girl becoming an apprentice mage after a boy shows up at school that she's never seen but everyone else seems to know. She also eventually finds out she's been put under a curse of sorts. I'm currently trying to decide on a title, because I'm terrible at making decisions, and was wondering which title sounds more interesting to you. Or just let me know if they all suck. I am open to other suggestions. Here are the options I've narrowed it down to so far:

Magic Mayhem

The Apprentice's Apprentice

Ordinary Never Looked So Good

I'm trying to pick a title for my new work and have a couple of ideas, but am having difficulty deciding. Which one do you think is best or are they all terrible?

Heart of Crystal

Crystal Heart

Crystal Blood

Fire Crystal

Living Crystal

Awakening Ancient

I need a good song for a female character who is leading a rebellion/fight. Any suggestions?

I'm trying to remember the name of a book I read a long while ago. It involved dragons and when the dragons slept, the ground beneath them would turn to gold or something. They were on an island or something and there was an expedition to that island by a group of humans. That's all I can remember. If someone could tell me the name of this book or give me any hints to it I would be grateful.

Right so when I was younger I read this hilarious story about how the tooth fairy actually takes teeth, grinds them up into a fine white powder then snorts it. I don't remember where I read/saw this. Please if you know where this is from let me know.

I'm currently working on a story. For entering the priesthood of a sun god is having a symbolic death before being accepted a full priest overkill? There is an entire ceremony regardless but I'm not sure if I should have a symbolic death and rebirth or not.
