My car is apparently named Nakora. And she's apparently a she. (Not a sidhe. That's different. That would be... interesting.)

Both of these are somewhat odd because for the past eight and a half years I've been driving her, she's been pretty asexual, and not of quite enough mind to have a syllabic name. Hence, she's carried a few names over the years, stuff I just thought up, but like my own self, all the names "itched".

But the other night when I wasn't even thinking about the question at all, the name just popped into my head. She said I could figure out how it was spelled, though. She could do sounds, but she wasn't literate. *giggle*

I don't mean to sound rude, but is this a serious question? One of the possible Gaelic words for "fairy", coming actually from "hill" (as in "People of the Hills")? The Shining Ones? You're not even aware of the Changeling: the Dreaming kith of the same name?

I was just punning on the homophony of "she" and "sidhe".

i'm afraid my knowledge of all things fae is rather shockingly empty. (and the only white wolf games i ever read were vampire and werewolf...)
