At the moment, I am a guest because -obviously- I haven't registered. Also, I haven't started the lessons yet. I want to have a name I like before I register. I know the concept I want to convey so would someone help me put this into a name?
First, I am female. I suppose that makes a difference. I want it to convey the idea that I am looking/seeking/desiring/hunting for joy (as in basic happiness or contentment with life)
Thanks in advance for any help. |

This list is wonderful! I will have to narrow down the bunch I like before I can pick just one. They all sound so pretty. I do appreciate all the time you put into this. Thanks! I'll post my final choice.

Ok. I have decide! I am now Gelaniril. Well, with that accent mark that I don't know how make on the computer.
One question left. Which syllable is emphasized? I think from what I read it is the "ir" part, but I don't trust my comprehension of the lesson yet.

In this name it would be gelanIRil because IR is a long vowel sound, so yip you're quite right!

How do you get the accent over the I?
I found a chart that said to use the alt key with a string of numbers, but it doesn't work on my keyboard. The alt and number method only works with the number key pad. The problem is the 2 on my number key pad is broken so I have to use the numbers along the top, but the alt key doesn't want to work with those keys.
Is there any other way?

I actually made a little document in notepad that sits on my desktop (I don't memorise all the ALT codes) so I just open that and copy and paste the one I need:

Well I now exist! But unfortunately the system wouldn't let me put in the accent mark. But, I suppose it will have to be good enough.
Thank you Xandarien for all the help!

Welcome, Gelaníril! <3 You can also configure your keyboard to United States-International to type in accented languages. To get the long I, all I need to do is type an apostrophe and then I. If you need help with that, let me know and I'll see if I can remember how I did it! ; |

Thanks for the tip Vyc. I think I'm just going to putter along for a bit with the way it is right now and see how everything goes. After some experience, I'll have a better idea of what I need.
And thanks for the welcome Sidhiel. I look forward to this new experience in life.
