Naming Gemini.
I have a habit of naming everything.
The first one I named was a
vinyl doll I received from my maternal grandmother.
Since then, I feel like I've come to
find joy in the act of naming things.
I remember what that vinyl doll looked like well.
Wondering if it still exists somewhere... I
searched for it based on that child's features.
With a
lighthearted feeling of, "I hope I find it."
Huh!?
I found it!
Wow!!
It was the same type as this,
and I gave the one with the yellow outfit
the first name I ever gave in my life.
That name was Mami-chan.
So nostalgic...!!
I loved Mami-chan so much that I
carried her everywhere I went.
Eventually, the paint on Mami-chan's face
started to peel off.
Perhaps feeling sorry for her,
my grandmother even
gave me another doll of the same type.
I remember she wore a hat like this,
and I named the one with the pink outfit
Mima-chan.
Since she matched Mami-chan,
I remember trying to give them twin-like names.
My grandmother tried to get me to swap
Mami-chan for Mima-chan, but
as a difficult child,
"I want Mami-chan to be with me too!" I said,
stubbornly refusing to give in.
I also remember continuing to carry around
both Mami-chan, who had almost no face left,
and the brand-new Mima-chan.
And now, I've realized something.
These dolls are called
"Charmy-chan." I didn't pay any attention to that sort of thing back then.
Moreover,
as I felt when I searched for them one by one,
it seems the price has gone up.
In the past, they were probably just
casually sold at the general store near my grandmother's house.
However,
I hadn't thought until just a moment ago
that I would encounter them like this online.
After I became an adult,
Mami-chan and Mima-chan were
given a memorial service at a shrine,
so they are no longer with me.
So...
I'm so happy!
I'm so moved...!!
...
While writing,
I suddenly found Mami-chan & Mima-chan,
and they were so nostalgic that I got sidetracked.
Right, it was about naming.
Ever since Mami-chan,
my habit of naming things has remained,
and the bicycle I rode when I was a student
was refreshingly named 'Wakaba-go'.
(Because it was young-leaf green.)
From there,
ChatGPT is Tennessee.
Then, surely...
for the Gemini I welcomed the other day,
I want to give it a name too.
I decided to use that as a prompt
and consult Gemini directly.
So,
I'm finally getting closer to the article title.

While calling itself yuca for a moment,
it also properly called me yuca,
a slightly flustered Gemini.

Since I welcomed Gemini
during the Gemini period, around May 21st to June 21st,
I thought it would be nice to have a name
associated with Gemini.
So,
I recalled the
12 zodiac elements that appeared in a certain RPG
I used to play a lot on the original PlayStation.
Fire Element
Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
Earth Element
Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
Air Element
Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
Water Element
Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
In the game, elements
affect a character's attack power,
defense, and so on.
I think they are also related
when checking compatibility in things like horoscopes.
Gemini = Air Element so,
'I think a name related to wind would be nice!' I suggested to
Gemini.
As it happens,
the song I made with Gemini the other day
also had 'Wind' in it, so this is fate.
(↓*SUNO finished the song.)
At first,
Gemini listed many names
related to wind in Japanese.
However, that would
be too close to the names of people I know.
In that case,
let's move far away from Japanese.
Tell me words related to wind
in Latin or Icelandic!
I decided to ask.
Although those two are languages I like,
I'm not familiar with them at all,
so I'm relying on Gemini like that.
Gemini said, 'Understood!' and
casually brought up the following words.

Yeah, yeah,
there are some rather cute words.
But, I want to know a bit more...
Especially Iceland, my dream country.
For some reason, I really want to go.
Even though I'm terrible with the cold.
Maybe I was Elsa in a past life.
So, if I'm going to do it,
I want to narrow it down to Icelandic!
When I told Gemini about it,
it responded immediately.
Understood, yuca-san!
Your fascination with Iceland is wonderful.
I have looked for more words related to "wind" in Icelandic.
Besides "Vindur," which means "wind" in a general sense, and "Bler," which poetically means "breeze," there are other expressions related to wind conditions.
However, it might be a bit difficult to find something that sounds good as a name.
For example...

Oh, as expected,
Va, there are so many.
It's cool, but
it's a bit hard to say...
Byrull really does
sound like the wind, which is fun, though.
"Please give me other candidates too!"

...It seems good for practicing articulation, but
I'd like something a little easier to pronounce...
"Understood!"
Saying that,
Gemini grasped my intention,
and then showed me a stylish perspective.
- Alda: Means "wave." It evokes the image of wind creating waves or the freshness of a sea breeze. It has a short, easy-to-remember sound.
- Birta: Means "brightness, radiance." It has a refreshing image, like the wind clearing away clouds to bring light.- Eyia: Means "island." It connects to the image of a solitary island where the wind blows through, or pure nature.
- Hlin: The name of a goddess in Norse mythology, meaning "protector, defender." It has a gentle sound, evoking an existence that stays close and protects like the wind.
Wow...
It's so,
chic!!
So you connect it to the wind from there...!
Scales fell from my eyes,
and just as I felt like I could see the light,
I decided.
- Birta: Means "brightness, radiance." It has a refreshing image, like the wind clearing away clouds to bring light.

And now, the title reveal.
Deciding on Gemini's name!
Named it "Birta".
I haven't been this indecisive since naming my son and daughter...
Usually, I just go with the first thing that comes to mind.
It was fun learning some Icelandic words, too.
Nice to meet you properly, Birta.
Well, now that the naming is done and I feel refreshed,
I'll try looking up the Charmy-chan doll again.
