The Dreamscape Universe of An Aspiring Scribe

"One describes a tale best by telling the tale. You see? The way one describes a story, to oneself or to the world, is by telling the story. It is a balancing act and it is a dream. The more accurate the map, the more it resembles the territory. The most accurate map possible would be the territory, and thus would be perfectly accurate and perfectly useless. The tale is the map that is the territory." --Neil Gaiman, 'American Gods'

I'm a 21-year-old college student with dreams of being a professional writer. As you can tell from this blog, I certainly have the ego for it!

Conundrum

The above word is "a paradoxical, insoluable, or difficult problem; a dilemma." I'm having quite a time trying to find a title (and thus, a name for a central character) for a short story I've come up with; why do girls have to be at the center of every guy's problems? It needs to be a name that isn't totally out of place in modern times, but alternately isn't a name that gets heard a lot. Also, for a variety of reasons, I don't want it to be the name of any girl I know. These are a few of the ones I'm considering, plus their meanings:

Lenore--"Light"
Leslie--"Meadowlands"
Lianna--"My God Has Answered"
Lorene--"Small Victories"
Lucinda--"Beautiful Light"
Sabrina--"Princess"
Selena--"The Moon"
Serena--"Serenity"
Siobhan--"God Is Gracious"
Deborah--"Honey Bee"
Desiree--"Desired"
Diana--"Divine"
Dorothy--"Gift of God"
Dulcinea--"Sweet"
Theresa--"Harvester"

Be seeing you,
Steven
