Collective Nouns
Bells in groups are a peal. Jokers form a deck. Sherlocks come in shelves. We have just decided that more than one Miles, if we get around to having such a marvel onscreen, would be a league, because I'm hilarious. What would be good collective nouns for other templates?

Re: Collective Nouns
Not strictly speaking template names, but the children of any particular Bell tend to have a collective noun. Rose's are rosebuds, Angela's are cherubs, and I think Glass's are beads? I might be forgetting some, but they're generally adorable.

Re: Collective Nouns
I feel that Elspeths should be named after something voice or honesty related despite being so few...
Tonies... "Armory"??

Re: Collective Nouns
Tonies might be a flock or a fleet, since some of them can fly... I'm not sure. I don't know if they'd go for armory, or arsenal, which also occurred to me.

Re: Collective Nouns
There's a spreadsheet item for this in the master sheet. Rosebuds, cherubs, and beads are the only ones in common use, and we're not sure we like most of the others but some of the firmer prospective terms if further Bells acquire collections of children include "starlings" (Stella), "ringlets" (Pattern), and "blessings" (Kiri). Elspeth is a nugget, but there's only one of her so it doesn't come up.Oraanu wrote:Not strictly speaking template names, but the children of any particular Bell tend to have a collective noun.

Re: Collective Nouns
I believe the correct collective noun for Zevs is an "orgy".
