Topic created after a conversation in the chat: FFXIV, like FFXI before it, tends to name its NPCs in an amusingly alliterative pattern. So keeping that in mind, what would YOUR character be called if they had to be written as a nameless person? Show Content Alliteration 101 Alliteration is a term that describes a literary stylistic device. Alliteration occurs when a series of words in a row (or close to a row) have the same first consonant sound. For example, “She sells sea-shells down by the sea-shore” or “Peter Piper Picked a Peck of Pickled Peppers” are both alliterative phrases. In the former, all the words start with the “s” sound, while in the later, the letter “p” takes precedence. Aside from tongue twisters, alliteration is also used in poems, song lyrics, and even store or brand names. How to Identify Alliteration The best way to spot alliteration being used in a sentence is to sound out the sentence, looking for the words with the identical consonant sounds. For example, read through these sentences to test your skills in identifying alliteration: Alice’s aunt ate apples and acorns around August. Becky’s beagle barked and bayed, becoming bothersome for Billy. Carrie's cat clawed her couch, creating chaos. Dan’s dog dove deep in the dam, drinking dirty water as he dove. Eric’s eagle eats eggs, enjoying each episode of eating. Fred’s friends fried Fritos for Friday’s food. Garry’s giraffe gobbled gooseberryies greedily, getting good at grabbing goodies. Hannah’s home has heat hopefully. Isaacs ice cream is interesting and Isaac is imbibing it. Jesse’s jaguar is jumping and jiggling jauntily. Kim’s kid’s kept kiting. Larry’s lizard likes leaping leopards. Mike’s microphone made much music. Nick’s nephew needed new notebooks now not never. Orson’s owl out-performed ostriches. Peter’s piglet pranced priggishly. Quincy’s quilters quit quilting quickly. Ralph’s reindeer rose rapidly and ran round the room. Sara’s seven sisters slept soundly in sand. Tim’s took tons of tools to make toys for tots. Uncle Uris’ united union uses umbrellas. Vivien’s very vixen-like and vexing. Walter walked wearily while wondering where Wally was. Yarvis yanked you at yoga, and Yvonne yelled. Zachary zeroed in on zoo keeping. Wiki | The Grindstone 2018 17 | 16 | 15

Gogon would be... "Tenacious Tactician" or the like. Judge? "Judgmental Judge" obviously. Chachanji Gegenji | Gogonji Gegenji | Judge Jredthys ~~ Balmung Directory
