Help[Games] Notes...

I don't want these to affect anyone's judgement, but I just wanted to share a few bits about the names (particularly the ones that aren't so familiar), since I think some of them are rather interesting.
Tertia (pronunced TER-sha) is a real name--it means "third" in Latin. Spirit is just becoming a word name I really like. If I hadn't used it, I would have put Tertia Silence, because Silence is one of my all-time favourite virtue names. (It has history, too--it's been used a long time.)
Kolbe is the surname of a Polish saint, St. Maximilian Kolbe, who died in Auschwitz in the place of another man. Horatio is an important name for me, and his nickname would be Ray, which is not only my and my father's middle name but also my great-great-grandfather's first name.
Susan Arcadia has little significance beyond the fact that I think it sounds lovely and that I love Susan. I also like Arcadia, though I prefer Arcadie. (Susan Arcadie sounds stilted to me, though.)
Eva and Friedrich are probably the weirdest set--for the way I came up with them rather than the names themselves. I had a dream in which I had twins Eva and Frederica, and I think that Eva and Friedrich sounded just as nice. Rather ridiculous on my part.
This information is not something I'd tell anyone who asked my child's name, though, which is why I did not include it with the names. Don't let it cloud your opinions, heh.
