I already share a name with a place, can you guess it?
The Pillars of Creation…weird name I know but they are beautiful.
Vega, maybe. An important star and the handle of the constellation of Orpheus’s lyre, Orpheus of course being a poet and a pioneer of Western civilization according to Greek mythology.
Unfortunately, there is also a car called the Chevrolet Vega that kind of ruins everything.
I started reading the answers and though I had lost my mind! Then it hit me this was not a new question.
Athena.
Truckee. Or maybe Denali.
Venezia Napoli
You can call me Zia.
Phoebe
GA to the first one who can explain where and/or why.
It is my favorite. It has been pummeled until it Is in a whole different shape. Still, it remains loyal, sticking with Saturn forever.
An interesting endorsement for the battering of women!
How is that an endorsement for battery?
It is the strength to survive and be viable which I admire. If I were impressed by battery I’d want to share a name with a roid.
Mr. Harding, do be quiet.
I get it. It has been pummeled until it Is in a whole different shape. Still, it remains loyal, sticking with Saturn forever.” Do you see it now?
“Yes he beats me, but I love him.” If “loyalty” is to be defined by your ability to withstand pummeling beyond recognition, why not choose a name like Punching Bag or Litter Box?
Saturn isn’t beating Phoebe.
Phoebe follows her own orbit, defying conformity.
Phoebe left the dark side, and Saturn drew her in to be a forever companion.
She is small, but exciting. After all her hardships she has a home.
She is not in a relationship with her tormentors. In fact, they may have perished as a result of their attacks.
Please shut up, Mr. Harding.
Ever the poet. Chose her own orbit? So it’s Phoebe who captured Saturn and not the tiny deformed rock which is enslaved by the gigantic but gorgeous monster? Saturn may not be responsible for the bulk of her beatings, but that “loyalty” the rest of us mistake for the capture of the rock by the behemoth means only that your ugly darling will be subjected to further beatings from those drawn to the overpowering force of her mighty boyfriend. She’s doomed to the fate of the other 61concubines in his harem.
Seeing everything and everyone as vicious, conniving rogues is a serious problem. You should see someone about your paranoia issues.
Maybe nurse Rached can help you with that.
Though touched by your heartfelt concern for my mental stability, I am taken aback with the severity of your expert soap opera diagnosis concerning my affliction. I assure you I will consider your recommendation that I place myself in the hands of a fictional character every bit as compassionate and understanding as yourself, and give such consideration the gravity both it and you deserve. I shall also render you the considerable favor of neglecting to render my opinion on your own little shortcomings and leave you to your peaceful musings on celestial mechanics.
Yes—like the tool, a fitting role model toward the promotion of good mental health.
Ratched, not a tool just because I left out the t.
Ratchet is not a tool either. ratchet is what a mechanism is called which has many applications, one being making some tools work better.
Definitely a good word for a mental health worker, but still not her name.
Once again screwing facts around to make them suit yourselves.
Funny how these twisted facts are getting GAs, but not the proveable points.
People who blindly follow someone too lazy to fact check stand out once again.
Please stop. This is becoming painful, and I’m already suffering feelings of guilt for my participation in it.
You should. Everything you wrote is wrong.
That being the case, why humiliate me further? Go in triumph and leave me to lick my wounds.
Have a puppy do it. More fun that way.
I’m too mean. Animals despise me. I don’t understand it because I love them all nearly to the level of affection I display here for you. Besides, they’re delicious!
There there, Stanley (some tentative back patting). You have a snack and you might feel better.
My despondency is incurable. I remain inconsolable minus your sincere forgiveness.
