Powers of Persuasion

mysterium26

A/N: Hello, everyone. As you may have guessed, this is obviously not an update but more of a special features application thing. I first came up with the idea for this fic when I was reading a story about a serial killer over a year and a half ago. I spent quite a long time coming up with appropriate names for the characters and I thought that maybe a few of you would find it interesting. So here goes:

Adam= first man, meaning Hermione's first client

Finnin=fair birth, handsome

Charlotte=just one of my favorite names

Fairclough= not really sure how to pronounce, but means `fair cliff'. I usually assign fair meanings to ultimately `good' people.

Jemma=another one of my favorite names

Mark= I had Saint Mark in mind or Mark from the Gospel

Bonner= good, Norman-French 11th century origin, all variants mean `good'

Persephone= `-phone' is Greek for `to destroy' or `to murder,' relationship to Demeter implies hint of goodness

Perris= `stone' in Greek, I interpreted it to mean stubborn

Robert=bright fame

Henderson=home power

Doyle=I deliberately did not give him a first name, but Doyle means `dark stranger' in Gaelic

Thomas=Greek form of Aramaic name meaning `twin'

Ebenezer=miserly character in "A Christmas Carol," I doubt anyone missed that

Powell=means `son of Howell' in Welsh, Howell or Hywel in Welsh means `eminent'

In terms of things other than names, I've introduced the idea of a key word to restore memory loss, but I owe the idea of a Mnemomagus to Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next book series.

I don't think I missed anything…but if there are questions out there (which I doubt) then I can answer. I hope you all enjoyed the fic and thanks very much for reading it!
