    • Thanks and now that you mention it, even I think it will make a good name for a character!
      You have any ideas as to what should be that character’s personality? I guess Metanoia will have to have some really crazy and weird issues! lol! 😉
      What say?

      • Free spirited, wise but not in the usual way. A character that, like you say, clearly has some issues but sometimes they are not clear. Appears lost but really is not, and the great thing about it is the name could be for someone who is completely gender neutral which like the name goes quite well.

        • Hahahah! You’ve really given Metanoia a thought! (though I’m starting to feel that the word feels like a mental disease!)
          OMG, I guess we’re really tearing this word piece by piece apart! lol! 😉
