I know this is a fantasy setting but is the writer even trying with these names?
He forgot the rules of fantasy names. You can add "-onious", "-ainous"... or "-anus" to just about anything and it becomes magical. Should've gone with Wambsgonious instead.

I used to work at a place where one of the supervisors had this last name. I thought it was just fun to say.
The seat opened up after Republican state Sen. Kelly Hancock was tapped as acting state comptroller.
So, the problem was created by overreaching Republicans. They shot themselves in the foot. I absolutely love it.
Looking at his website, it appears he’s an actual dem, and not a DINO conservative like Henry Cuellar.
Imagine that. People will vote when they have someone worth voting for.
Progressives have been trying to tell centrists this for decades.
No, no everyone else needs to fall in line behind them. It must never be the other way around.
Wonder where all the "progressives can't win in red states" jerks who just don't want progressives to be allowed to run anywhere under any circumstances ever went to.
That's a great question but now is not the time to think about anything. Just do as I say and when my plan blows up in our faces, I'll blame you for it.
When the blue is from blue collar, you can expect actual social solutions.
That swing is crazy
Just for fun, I'll even call it a 'swang'
