Code Name, Cute & Curious!

Well, maybe not cute and curious, although each of you is certainly that.  During our first book club, we began the work of creating our code name.  Why do we need a code name when we are already The Young Girls' Story Society?  Well, it is a secret name that only we know.  We are still Young Girls' Story Society, but we have a special name we call ourselves - a nickname.  We wanted something that described who we are.  We made a long list of adjectives of characteristics of what a heroine might be.  Then, we decided to pair it with either heroines or girls.  A heroine is the main girl character of a story.  It is her story of adventure, problem-solving and growing that we follow.  Felicity is the heroine of the book we are reading.  YOU are the heroine of your story.  Your mom is the heroine of her story.  Did you know you had a story?  You are living it everyday!

So here is what your mission is:
 ~  Below, are a list of all the adjectives (words that describe nouns and you are a noun).  There is also a list of person words.  
~ Choose a word or two from the list of adjectives you and your fellow club members wrote down.  
    When you choose, choose the words that you think BEST describe what you think we, as young heroines are or should be.  If you are confused, ask mom.  
~Then choose a person word to go with it.  Make a choice that sounds snappy and catchy together.  

For example, I chose "mighty" from the adjective list, because I think that girls are strong and courageous and through God, can do anything.  I think "mighty" describes that well.  I liked the way it sounded with the person word, girls.  So, I made it, "Mighty Girls".

You can also create acronyms using adjectives and attach your acronym to a catchy person word.

You will also so a lot of different person words.  We threw in some interesting ones to see if you could you make something creative out of them.  

Your mom can come up with ideas too.  Come up with several if you like, because there is no limit to your ideas!  Once you have some great code names, post them below and write why you chose each one.  We will narrow down the choices and then vote for our favorite one.  Once we have a favorite, we will officially make it our code name at our next meeting in March.

Okay, get creative!

I can't wait to read your ideas!
