The sky soon became a threateningly deep colour. A bitter wind sent gloomy clouds racing in front of the eerily glowing moon and large, icy raindrops began to fall. The travellers looked desperately ahead for somewhere to shelter. When they reached the narrow pathway they failed, at first, to notice how neglected it was, but blindly followed it, expecting to find a house at the end. They paused uncertainly at the foot of a flight of crumbling stone steps rising beneath a forbidding panelled door. Shivering, they tugged at the rusty bell-pull and heard its hammering tones echo around the hall inside. Almost immediately, the door swung open.

An old woman, roughly age 45, answered it.

“Come in my dears,” she cackled, cracking her knuckles. The travellers yearned to escape into the cold dark night, but there was something about this intimidating woman that they couldn’t resist. They stepped in tentatively, looking around for any traps. None was in sight.

I like to make up names, and at one time I had a list of over 300. I had names like, Rose Garden, Mike Rowave, Stan Dup, Ike N. Dewitt, and William Arryme. However, I actually KNOW some people here in my town that have names like these. I know a Mona Moore (mon amor- means my love in French), and a Jean Pohl (Gene pool, a scientific term). Do you know anyone with names like these, that mean something or describe something, or can you make up some good ones?
