Hey everyone!! Today I want to share the process of how we chose our main character's name, because it's actually way more meaningful than you might think!
When we started brainstorming names, we knew we wanted something that would tie into our spacey theme while also revealing something about our character. After researching a bunch of space-related names (googling "space names for girls"), we landed on Halley, named after Halley's Comet.
What makes this name perfect is how it works on multiple levels. First, there's the obvious space connection, which fits perfectly with our sci-fi elements. But what's really cool is how Halley's Comet itself kind of mirrors our character's journey - it's this celestial body that spends most of its time distant and isolated, only passing by Earth every 72-80 years. When it does appear though, it's this incredibly beautiful sight.
This parallel works perfectly with our character because Halley has been living in this state of isolation and emotional distance due to trauma from her youth that led to depression. She's built up these walls, keeping herself distant from others and acting like she doesn't care about anything or anyone around her. But just like her namesake comet, there's something beautiful waiting to be discovered.
The name Halley is also associated with strength and valor, which becomes really significant as our story progresses. While she starts off isolated and seemingly uncaring, she eventually finds the strength to push through her struggles with the help of someone who sees past her defensive exterior. It's like they're able to see the beauty of the comet even when it's far away.
At its heart, our film is about recovery and finding hope even in the darkest places. The name Halley encapsulates this journey - from isolation to connection, from darkness to light. It's about someone who seems distant and unreachable finding their way back to life with the help of others who refuse to give up on them.
That's all from me for now. IK I said this post would be about costuming but I promise that will be the next one. See ya >:D
P.S. for anyone who wanted to see the chocolate here's a pic:
