What Is Your Fairy Name?
Start with your first name. If you don't know your first name, ask your Founder.
Next, think about your favorite flower or tree. Daffodil. Lilly. Dogwood. Oak. Chrysanthemum. Pansy. Cherry Blossom. Fir. Beechwood. Venus Fly Trap. If you don't have a favorite, go outside and pick the first plant you see and figure out what it's called. That's your middle name.
Finally, think of something that describes you. A habit you have. An activity you enjoy. A personality quirk. Do you talk a lot? if so, you might make your last name Motormouth. Are you good at basketball? If so, make your last name Jumpshot. Maybe you like to write (I hope so). If that's the case, consider the last name of Scribbler. Or if you're lazy, just go with Couch-potato.
Now put it all together and see what you've got!
My name would be Jonathan Willow Smart-aleck. (It would actually be John, but Jonathan sounds cooler. Also, it probably wouldn't be "aleck", but I'm keeping this PG).
