Okay- ready for the first official piece of news about Book 6?
A few days ago, I got a brand new niece to add to my collection. Little Clara can now join the twins as they scuttle along the floor, with their cousin Sophie looking on with great amusement.
And as I promised, Valkyrie's brand new sibling will be following suit- so Val is getting a little sister. Yay!
Any GIVEN name suggestions will be greatly appreciated...!

«Oldest ‹Older 401 – 600 of 4477 Newer› Newest»hmmm Names are always tricky for writing. It cant be anything too weird, because lets face it, her parents are absolutely oblivious and completely normal.... well... at least as normal as her father can get. haha
How about something like
-Maia
-Taylor
-Michele
-Keely is nice
-Brianca
stuff like that?
By the way Hello -waves enthusiastically- Ive never commented on a blog before, but here i am, saying hi for the first time :)
Or maybe Michele Charity :3
Ha! Sparky just suggested Michelle!
yeah I think michele would be a good name for her little sis.
has that been popular so far?
@Kallista
I was holding them back, but just barely. Putting on a brave face, I suppose.
@Sparky
We were just talking about naming her Michelle. :]
Thank you, Kallista. That means a lot. :]
~hugs~
Yay Im glad its popular.
Haha so just out of curiosity, what is the average age of Dereks munchkins, because I know the books are meant to be for children, but im almost 18 and Id like to consider myself a loyal munchkin. Haha
Hullo, by the way, Sparky. ^.^ Don't think we've met.
Skulduggery. lol um how about, Natasha. My best friends name is that and she is beautiful inside out. or Emily!
Thanks kallista.
you should use it, I think its a good name for writing.
I'd say the average age is 15. There' another 18 year old and a 17 year old. Most people seem to be 15 or 16. Some are 13 and I think one or two are 11. I mean, of the people I know, anyway. :]
Hello Skyril. No we havent. Only just joined the site so I could Follow Dereks blog. haha
Emily is a good name. Good idea Gemma
Kallista and I are 15. :]
@Sparky
That's what I did in the begging, lol. Then I left a few comments to Derek and started talking more and more with these awesome people.
*beginning
Haha so I'm a bit of an oldie??
Ive been reading them since before the second book came out, so I guess I was a lot younger then.
I'm going to have to go momentarily, Kallista. :/
haha really a mum??? Deffinatly older than me then. But everybody Loves Skulduggery. haha
Nice to meet you Skyril. I'm sure we will end up talking again in the future.
or how about skuls wifes name? wateva that is...
@Sparky
Perhaps a bit, but, really, none of act our proper age. :P So it doesn't really matter. :]
Haha I loves possums. though they are scary at night time 0.o
Aw, baby! Names, names... so many good ones suggested already.
Eleanor. Or Angela. Or Bernadette.
Dear Mr. Landy,
I've had a crush on Skulduggery since I picked up the first book a month ago, and immediately had to order the rest. Now I find out he's really you. Hmm. Well, I was never his type, anyway. Grace Kelly, I'm not.
He belongs with Val, anyway. Maybe not immediately, but in a few decades... if you kill him before that I will not forgive you. Ever.
So, questions! Did I miss where Skulduggery had plumbing installed in his house? Cause he didn't have it, and then he did.
And how did you meet Laura? I read - ok, skimmed - the whole blog, and didn't see that story. I think you should write it.
The blog is lovely, btw. Much more fun than one would expect given it's please-gods-why-do-I-have-to-do-this-just-kill-me-now beginnings. Having minions must be good for your soul. Or your ego, one of those.
love,
me
Ok, I have to go now.
@Sparky
Good! :] Have a good-what-ever0the-time-is ^.^
@Gemma
Hullo! Bye-bye! :P
@Kallista
If you see Hellboy, tell him to start coming online more around 2 pm his time or else! :P
Good-night! Sleep well! See you tomorrow! ^.^
okay. see you later guys. Goodnight?? I dont know if its night time wherever you are. But it's afternoon here In australia.
if it is night then, Goodnight -waves-
Yes, it's night here. We live in the USA. People from ALL over the world come on here. In fact, the other 18 year old is from Germany.
Good-afternoon! Bye!
Derekkkkkk, please may you read these comments and chose a awesome name
Wow awsome. people from everywhere
11:25pm Thrusday??
Cause its 3:26 pm friday here
hmm I kind of like the names Niamh or Aislinn (Irish, as far as I know) or Elizabeth.
Why do we have to wait so long for the book :( *has a bit of a sook about it* haha
Hahaha I feel like im from the future
we feel your pain Rebecca. I always hate finishing a skulduggery book cause the wait for the next one just kills me. And Aislinn is pretty name
hehe Aislinn is the name of a character in one of the books I'm writing (I'm a fantasy writer as well), but I have seen it around in other places; not common, but rare enough to be interesting. Funny thing is, the books seem to come out earlier here (Australia) than in the UK. Last year I was at work (in a major retail store) about a week before Mortal Coil was due to be released, and I got put in the book section. Imagine how I 'squeed' when I saw it already on the shelves :D
Bye Bye Kallista
Haha I'm writing a fantasy novel too :)
I live in Australia. How good is it when books come outy early!!!!
lol I know! I'm a uni student (doing my thesis in IT this year with a focus on eBooks and their interaction methods) so I don't get a lot of time to read fiction, meaning that I tend to only go for books I know I'll love. Along with the next Skulduggery Pleasant book, the final book in Michael Pryor's steampunk fantasy series (the Laws of Magic) is coming out this year as well. I just know that the week each of these books are released, I'll be getting no research done :) Still, I'm hoping that during this year's NaNoWriMo I'll get a first draft of my dark fantasy novella completed, and then I'll sell it and make millions and never have to work again! MWAHAHA! (that's how it works, right?... Right? No? Well, I can dream...)
...NO.
Too many girl characters.
Boy.
BOY.
Valkyrie's little sister's name should be Ashlyn/Aisling. This is because it is an Irish name I think and is also pretty.
What about Fish, by the way? Fish is a good name.
Or maybe, if you didn't want Little Val to be an aquatic lifeform, Celeste. I like it, personally. French, y'know? The French are good at names. And, if her sister was going to be evil, it'd make perfect sense.
Celeste meaning heavenly and all that.
Give it some thought.
But it should've been a boy...
Haha I wish it worked that way. But I cross my fingers for you so hopefully it will get published :D
I only started my novel recently. only four chapters.
If you like skulduggery pleasant than you should read the mortal instruments. Amazing books.
oooh Celeste is a good name
Muirenn is a good name. It's Irish and everything! Means Bright Sea... I suppose you cant use it to be all prophetic, but it's still nice...
Btw, Octaboona, Haggard is a real town in Ireland. It's miles from Dublin though. Yay it's next to my father's hometown, Clonmel!
awwwwwwwww that baby is soooooo cute.
ok a name......how abot Ayesha thats a good name...isnt it??? =D
lol i was only joking about my name im doing HW so ill find a better name when ive finished!
btw im doing HW at 5:25am!!!!!!!!!

Ack. Someone spoke to me. *waves at Kallista*
And thank you. :-D
derek how about abigail thats a nice name!!
if you dont like that one how about jodie!!
or how about Caoimhe it means Gentle, graceful, beauty.
or how about hazel thats a pretty name!! =D
Aofie! wait, u used vat...
Ariel!
:D
it means lion(ess) of God!
pronounced: Arr-ee-el
maybe?
i like vat name!
Julia. Or Angel. Not that I'm biased or anything...
btw derek feel free to use my name i dont mind!!! =P
HEY DEREK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't know whether that caught your attention but I think you should name her Pandora! Because that is a totally badass name!! :D
Also, if u r reading this Mr Landy, i hav a suggestion and a few questions...
1. what was Scapegrace's power?
2. when Tanith is talking about the dead men and Skulduggery says: "not all of us did (come back alive)..." WHAT DOES HE MEAN?!
3. are Coral and Crystal going to be hypnotised into thinking that they never saw it?
4. please bring back Sanguine, Dusk and Spring-heeled Jack!
and suggestion......in the last book, maybe you could have a grand-finale of minions?
maybe?
your loyal minion,
Nyx

WHY DO THEY TALK LIKE THIS IN THE COMMENTS? And they all know each other and stuff, how does THAT work? It's like a CULT or something. And it's not like the books that terribly good. I mean it IS FANTASTIC and all but it's not OBSESSIVELY good or anything! Seriously!
I mean you've got a niece, FANTASTIC! and you'll accept name suggestions from us SUPER! But they don't really COMMENT on it. they do the first time then they go on to have conversations amongst themselves.
It's WEIRD.
Not as weird as my genius brother but still freaking WEIRD.
Abiguity out~
FYI its not a cult and its NOT weird!!!
i like the name abigail i dunno why. its a cool name!!!!
Hi.
Why were you all confessing to stuff?
Ah, but Ayesha... Most of us ARE weird...
hi dragona!!
confessing to what???
Dunno, people were confessing to stuff last night when Sarthacus said he was bisexual and I think Kallista was sad but I don't know what's wrong with her.
And it worried me about Kallista.
hiii lunar!!
we're not weird!!we're INSANE there's a big difference between them. lol =P
And I still don't know what was wrong with her, I hope she's alright.
i dunno dragona i left shortly you did. my mum makes me go sleep at half 9 but today probably be 10.
This is the earliest I've ever commented...
I hope Kallista is alright, I'm worried about her.
@ lunar
lol me too *high fives lunar*
J'adore la zouk, le dance et le reggae, j'aime becoup le rap et la techno, mais je deteste le classique, c'est nul. Je prefere le pop, par-contre j'aime le reggae.
*shivers uncontrolably*
i understood most of that dragona.=P
Whats wrong dragona???
Aww... But classical music is AWESOME, Dragona!
ummm...you like classical music lunar???
Je suis alle' a un concert de black eyed peas avec ma mere, et ma soeur. Nous sommes partis at huit heures, dans la voiture, et nous sommes arrive' a onze heures parce que cetait dans l'arene de sheffield.
Je suis morte de marches et j'achete' un hotdog. Ils ont joue' mon chason prefere! J'ai ete tres content!
Apres, j'achete un t-shirt, ma soeur mange' un hotdog et ma mere un bu une l'eau minerale.
Nous avons une aime le concert.
Je voudrais alle' encore a un concert parce que c'est genial!
Nous sommes revenus a tres heures.
Cetait super!
Um, nothing. I just hope Kallista is alright.
It's not my favourite genre, but sure, classical music every so often is good. Relaxing...
i have to go to school in 10 mins!! =(
Je voudrais alle' encore a un concert. Ca va etre super! Mon pere voudrait avec moi.
Incroyablement, aussi ma mere voudrait alle' encore a un concert de black eyed peas.
@dragona
you went to an black eyed peas concert???
J'ecoute de la musique quand je m'ennuie et j'aime ecouter de la musique quand je suis dans ma chambre, parce que ca me mets bonne humour.
Je suis fan de black eyed peas, j'ai un leurs CD, mais j'achete leurs CD sur itunes, ma mere, les deteste, mais mon pere, les aimes.
10 minutes??
No, I have no interest in music. My french teacher said that if you don't like music then just make it up ^^
I never knew you liked the black eyed peas Dragona
@lunar
yes i need to walk to the bus stop and it take me 15 mins to walk then the bus cums at 8-ish and it takes half an hour to get to school!
@dragona
oh..right!!
g2g
Bye, see you after school!
Non, je ne joue pas d'instrument. Mais je voudrais joue le clavier, le batterie, je pense que c'est super. Je veux poulvoir joue la guitare electrique, peut-entre la guitare avec mes copains, deux fois par mois, parce que c'est super. Je voudrais joue des insturments, quand je suis dans ma chambre.
Bye Lunar.
byeeeee lunar!
i guess i should go to school now!! byee everyone have an good day at school everyone!!!!
Excuse my french, we're doing a speaking test so I just felt like posting my 6 paragraphs I had to learn... thank god for photographic memories :P
Bye Ayesha.
I like Siobhan. I love that name!
Also, *Looks around awkwardly* You could name it Emily. I would Love you FOREVER if you did that. I doubt, even though I wish, that you would name her Morgana. Either of my suggestions would be lovely names for future defenders of the human race. Of course, they would be given names, but still.
ALSO, I LOVE YOUR NEEEIIICCCEE!! She's adorable! I want one!
=)
xx <3
If you don't see me tonight, it means that the air bubble from the thingy booster injection has gone to my brain and killed me, but don't worry, it's not likely! Probably because I had no brain for the bubble to go TO :P
I have to go to school now... I'll be on tonight, bye.
*hugs Kallista -who's probably asleep-*
I hope she's alright...
Still like the names Emily or Natasha. but there has been a lot of suggestions for Emily...
Reuben is in awe of the series. looks just like Fletch!!! whats happening with Fletch? and what about the movie? and Tanith!? why not sneak her into the coach oh bowers? she would die and the remnant would die as well. oh and, Gawd, the series reminds me of V for Vendetta...
A given name eh...?
I suggest Meg or Brooke.
Doooo iiiiitttt...
~
Kiiyashi
Ooh, I suggest the name Amelia. I think Amelia Edgely has I nice ring to it.
What do you think?
Or, what about Katie? It means peace. I think either Katie or Amelia
LILY. Val's little sis should be called 'Lily' :)
NAME HER Ariadne! It's both mysterious and drop dead cool.
how do you pronounce Ariadne? EMILY! NATASHA
How about... Natasha, or Emily!
sorry but i Have to let Derek know about Natasha and Emily
or you could spell it Emalie
Tasha?
Please choose Natasha or Emily.
and whats happening with the movie?
anyone out there in Derek Land?
Any peoples out there?
Mine!
I'm thinking Natasha or Emily
IT IS MINE!! :P
NOOOO!
I failed :(
I like Amelia
Damnination!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or how about Natasha-Emily Edgely?
oh and Jaffa, I agree! More Fletch and Val romance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lol Emma. What about Amelia-Rose Edgely? Hmm, I like that. Anyway, not my decision to make. Choose whatever name you wish Master Derek!
Yes Gemma! More Fletcher and Valkyrie!
or Hilary. Hilary Edgely?
Jaffa!! you are genius! and Fletch and Val, not caelan. Vletcher?
Hmm, I don't personally like the name Hilary but it might work, then again, it's not our decision so the point is invalid
true
On most fanfiction it is known as Fletcherie. How did you know I wanted more fletch and val?
I read some of the earliest comments.
Hmm, usually no one is on around this time, where on earth are you Gemma?
Ah, ok.
Australia, 9.00 pm
I'm in Australia as well! Which state are you in cause it's 9:30pm for me
New South Whales, Armidale
Sup.
I know Jaffa, but I don't know Gemma.
Hi there, I live in Aus too, (Adelaide) and the time is 9:00pm
Hmm, I'm in NSW as well. I think you're quite far away from me though
Hi Hellboy, Aussies Rule!
Hi all!
Hellboy! Aquila! Long time no chat, how are you both?
hello, where are you from Aquila?
Actually gemma, I'm not Australian so I can't exactly agree that Aussies rule. Lol
I'm from Germany.
And:
I'm fine, thanks.^^
(still amusing to use this phrase)
Why is it amusing to use that phrase Aquila?
lol, ok, Australia Rules
I'm also on a really crappy Gen two iPod touch, so ima make this quick.
Laura's a good name. Holly as well. Rebecca, Cassie. Whatever you do, make it an awesome name. Hmm...Rachel's good.
It was among the first things we learned to say in English.^^
Together with "what's your name?" and "where are you from?". ^^
Lol, I could probably agree that Australia rules Gemma! How old are you Gemma?
Laura? lol, cool. thats the name of Vals inspiration and girl devoted in Dark Days
Aww, shame you have to leave so soon Hellboy
bye
sorry got to get ready for bed bye bye good night
Good night, Gemma!
Ah damn. And now I have to go.
If it gets too annoying to have to hit post comment and maneuver through the webpages and all, you COULD (massive hint) head over to my blog, where I now have a chatbox thingy on the sidebar.
Link:
http://susurrusofstories.blogspot.com/
Go ahead and check it out.
...go on, you know you want to... :P
Bye Hellboy and Gemma!
Aquila, you still there?
So...
How are you?
Yes, I am.^^
Lol, I'm fine thanks. Do you want to appear (probably briefly) in my fanfic?
Yes! I love to appear in fanfic!^^
I's ask you if you want to be in mine... but it's more or less finished and I don't have an idea for the next one, yet.
*I'd
Ok, you'll probably be introduced in the next chapter with most of the other characters but I probably won't post some fanfic until I get my laptop fixed
No prob.
:P what time is it for you?
It's 12 over here.
Sorry got to go for... about 30mins, I guess.
Bye!
Bye! I probably won't be here when you come back cause I gtg to sleep now.
Back!
Bye, Jaffa!
thats great, mr Landy. im glad *smile*
Aquila?!
damn!
........ARIEL!

Hi Nyx!
AQUILA!!!!!!!
*glomps her*
btw, Ariel is what i think v sisters name should b...
....i think it's a pretty name!
(means lioness of God)
also, it's pronounced: Arr-eee-el
But... isn't Ariel the name of this little Disney mermaid? And of a washing powder?
NO! that's v American-ised version (they say: Aeer-iii-al)
...yuk!
also, Ariel is an "airy spirit" in Shakespear's play: the tempest!
uh....im not sure about the washing powder thing though....
Oh, and i read ur fanfic!
......lol i love it!
and i got the 1st words....
>:D
Well, we say Ariel like you wrote it up here, no matter if it's the mermaid or something else. And the washing powder:
