    Is this like Selkies or something different?


    Piper replied · Jun 23, 2014

    Woops, just looked at the forums. They're some of my favourites, too.

    Sorry! Pressed post by mistake. I have quite a useful encyclopedia, the encyclopedia of fairies, bogies, goblins, and that sort of thing. When I find a picture online I will give you the link.

    That was supposed to be a reply to Piper.

    Ha, thanks!

    I absolutely need to tell this to the world... Mi have been called "Princess Fiona" one too many times. For one thing, I was not named after Fiona in Shrek, I was named after the Fiona in The Island of Roan Inish. And for another, it means "fair one" in Scottish.

    My sister's name is Fiona, and she was born the year it came out! I feel so awful for her. It's constant.


    rhiasofia replied · Jun 22, 2014

    And my other sister is named Morrigan, so itis always misspelled or mispronounced, and people bug her about it "being spelled weird"


    Kelpies replied · Jun 22, 2014

    Growls at people who tease people because of their names.


    Piper replied · Jun 23, 2014

    I think those are beautiful names (Including yours, Rhiannon). I've always loved Celtic names, even though I have a fairly boring Hebrew one (Abigail).


    Kelpies replied · Jun 23, 2014

    That's not boring!

    My name is Rhiannon, and I just get so tired of being called Rihanna, or Brianna, or being asked if I was named after the Fleetwood Mac song when I am in fact named after the Celtic goddess Rhiannon. I figured you guys would be the perfect ones to rant to. Anyone else read about her in the Mabinogian?

    Redfang18 replied · Jun 22, 2014

    Being named after a goddess must be a rare honor to you, my friend. I'm impressed.


    Kelpies replied · Jun 22, 2014

    I can relate.

    Piper replied · Jun 23, 2014

    Wow this was forever ago


  • Piper replied · Jun 24, 2011

    Yes, All Hallows Eve, it was...I think it was said to be when ghosts and ghouls wandered, so they wore masks and used lanterns to scare them away.

    thanks. In my mythology class we learned about all these thing that reminded me of it.
