In my world it is a very famous sword, wielded by a legendary king.

[mythalenaste]

A good name for your sword, then. If you have one.

[universal_charm]

It was a sword stuck in a stone, only able to be drawn by a pure heart to lead England to prosperity. I'm just saying, it's a nice thought in a name.

_{[ He doesn't have one and doesn't plan to. Staff only for him, and knives. ]}

[mythalenaste]

That...is a really nice story. [She supposes she could give it at least as much consideration as she's giving to Alexander as a name for her son.] Who drew it?

[universal_charm]

A boy named Arthur Pendragon.

[mythalenaste]

Oh. Of course. A human.

[universal_charm]

To be fair, there are no elves where I come from. On my home world, it's just humans.

But - do you call male children something other than "boy" in your culture?

[mythalenaste]

No, it's just a human name.

[universal_charm]

I suppose so.

You can make of the suggestion what you will. I just thought the idea behind the sword was a good one, if we're looking at names.

[mythalenaste]

I...sorry. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to--

[She releases a breath.]

I'm accustomed to shems being like they are here. I didn't mean to offend you.

[universal_charm]

No, it's okay. I admit it wasn't the best thing to suggest a sword name from a human legend, but it's all I know from my world.

And I am the first to admit I don't know nearly enough of your culture to suggest names from your own legends or history, much less construct one from your language.
