Help[Opinions] Re: Thistle
in reply to a message by Serafina Starstrider
I've never had any comments personally, but I've read on this board and others that Rain is depressing and why would you want to name your child that.
Rain is a personal subtle connection to my writing and also to Scotland. I want something like Thistle or Alba to do the same thing for another girl. I'd love Alba Thistle, but that's maybe too much.
Tistel is the Swedish spelling which would be appropriate here in Finland. And closer to the English than Ohdake.

I want to say go with Thistle but I guess you could also do Tistel if that if how it is spelled where you are living. But if you plan on moving back someday to a place where the spelling is Thistle then I still stand by spelling it Thistle.
Also I don't personally find the name Rain to be depressing. I like it when it rains. Truly having any type of weather for too long makes me eventually annoyed and wishing for a change. I love rain and everyone I know does as well. But I get tried of rain after having too many months of it. I'm certain if I move some place where it snows rather than rains in the winter that I'll probably be getting tired of the snow near the end of winter. I also get tired of the heat after having too many sunny dry days in the summer.

Well my point is that I like my weather to change after a few months. Actually I probably like rain more than most people.
Where I'm from we have a ton of over cast days in the year. Most other places in the US have more rain than us in the year but they get it all at once. Our rainy period is sprend out from October - June. We don't get so much rain each day during those months but it is very overcast.
Its just that around April or May I'm starting to get a little tired of the rain and overcast days. But then that's around when we start having more sunshine and less days that are completely overcast. So I guess when I said I get tired after a few months I really meant after the majority of the year.
I kind of like the idea of moving to New England since very have more snow during their wet season but I'll miss the summers in the Pacific Northwest. Our summers tend to be less overcast / sunnier and not as humid as the East Coast according to statistical data.
I actually love our weather in the Pacific Northwest. I prefer Portland Oregon's weather slightly more than Seattle's since they tend to get a little bit more snow and sun. I've been told that our weather in Seattle is similar to Ireland. So I probably would do well in England, Ireland or Scotland.

Well, despite not liking the implications of a weed as a name, Alba Thistle kinda flows well.
