This may sound ridiculous, but I figured, it probably is the right note
to enter this in.
My friend and I are trying to come up with an idea for a television
episode. We also want to write the pilot.
Problem is NAMES!!! The show is about this woman who has a Phd but
something (we haven't determined yet) is going to happen, and she
loses her job. Anyway, she has no choice but to run the family
bar/pub. She will be Irish. Her grandfather named the Pub after her
grandmother. (which we have not established a name for that either)
We wanted the woman to have like a kind of funny/wierd name, and that
she will have a kind of tough nickname. We were thinking of something
like the nickname "Marty" maybe coming from Martha or Martina. But
those aren't real "strange" names. We wanted something wierd (which I
hope noone out there takes offense, but like my grandmother Matilda,
and Gretchen. Etc.
We have to also name a teenage girl, her husband, sisters, brothers,
remember the bar, so any suggestions is welcomed.
Thanks,
Karen

>>> Monica........Moe
I'll have you know that the accepted nickname for Monica is Moni.
Re basenote:
This sounds a lot like "Love&War" Where a wellknown chef runs a little
restaurant - her nickname is "Wally". (of course, that was last season.
now since the actress playing Wally left, there's some other senario
taking place. but thats neither here nor there).
Wilhelmine? Alvina?
- Monica

good luck Karen.. Funny I thought the same thing as re:1 did in regards
to the show Love and War with Wally. (susan dey) Now a fiesty cute tough
girl (played by Annie Potts)is the cook at the bar/restaurant - she has a
different name too, but I can't think of it.
How 'bout the name Vivian - calling her Viv. Or Oliva and Livi
Good luck -
Christina

The cook's name now is: Dana
The previous cook was Walley, her X-husband was Kip. (just so you
don't use those names)
How's the writting going anyway?
Gretta is a good one or Mauve
