The Magic in Names
There's a lot of magic in names. Think about the gestures and shapes our mouths go through to articulate a name. Have you ever said your name slowly and really paid attention to the distortions your lips, jaw and tongue move through? Try describing your name in physical form. Ex. 'Tongue begins behind front teeth > tongue moves back a space > lips come almost together.. It would be interesting to design a name in physical form first, trying to make it's movement beautiful and artistic. Like an oral ballet. Then finding out what sounds match. I'm sure humans first names came out this way. They must have been names that brought out strong emotion.
