Names and Magic

My sister and I played princesses a lot. 

We had princess names. She was Princess Pussywillow, and I was Princess Apple Blossom. 

We chose flower names because flowers are beautiful, and fitting for a princess. 

She was Pussywillow because she loved cats. 

I chose Apple Blossom because it was my Mother’s favorite flower. 

We had many grand adventures. We even made a book to record these adventures, but alas, our adventures were so vast and wonderful, that we could never get them into the book. 

Recently that book turned up, still blank and ready to be filled in with grand adventures. Perhaps someday we’ll be able to capture those stories and share them.

When I grew a bit older, I started calling myself Princess Vivian. That name I still use often when I’m playing. 

One of my daughters loves to use the name Sally. We like to play a game we call “Sally and Vivian” Sally makes all of the rules for this game, and it’s different every time.

Here is a picture of me, Princess Vivian, flying up with the magic of my imagination to pick stars for this piece of fabric. Then I will make a fabulous dress with it!

What princess names do you like? Do you have a favorite that you already like to use? 

We will soon be making our new website, where there will be places for kids to respond and post things. On this site, for safety reasons, we don’t want any children to post their most real names that their parents gave them. They can use a play name instead. A princess name. So start thinking about what princess name you would like to use.
