lady_saraiI'm friggin' sick.
::headdesk::
DAMMIT.
I just got HEALTHY, people. I've only been in that classroom for four half-days, and it's not like I'm in the kids' faces or something!
Seriously. I have a normal immune system, and I'm germ-conscience. Come ON. I'm sick to DEATH of colds.
Ugh. So, feeling all head-cold-ish. And trying not to say anything about it, because Mom will Flip Out. "Why are you sick? How'd you get sick? Haven't you been careful?"
Blah blah blah.
Like I did this on purpose. Ugh.
Okay, done whining, really.
Now. Some serious questions for my dear f-list.
What would students call the Founders? This is roughly 1000 years ago, mind. I'm not sure 'professor' works.
Also, how does everyone feel about surnames? Meaning, the Blacks and Malfoys and Weasleys and Potters, et al. can PROBABLY trace their families back that far, but would those particular last names be in use? As for me, sometimes I like it--if secondary characters happen to have names familiar to me, it's fun. But on occasion, it gets grating.
Beyond that, any suggestions on names--first OR last--for Founders-era characters? Or on where I could find such names? I have a regional/ethnic baby name book I generally use, but it doesn't contain any information regarding *when* those names were popular.
Just some logistic type questions, to get a feel for opinions. =D
Thank you.

Maybe just 'Headmistress Helga' & 'Headmaster Salazar'? Because I sort of saw them as all in equal positions of power, at least at the beginning.
