It is still very amusing to think that Dev & I gave all of the Oquonie characters old Québécois names.

Némédique, Néomine, Nastazie, Necomèdre, Nestorine and Nephtaline.

@rek oh wow, thank you so much. They're elegant and euphonious sounding; I wonder if there are some that are inspired by the Nation Huronne-Wendat?

@noctifer Oh, I wonder! I read this on the same website though:

"The choice of first name among Catholics was not left to chance or the whim of the parents. On the contrary, the Church wanted to control the attribution of first names to ensure that children received on the day of their baptism, the first name of a saint who would guide them throughout their lives."

So many were based on Saint names, I guess? Apparently, for variation, they would change an "O" to an "AU", "S" for "Z", or to invert the first part of name with the last part to create a new one etc,
