Ah. Bless. In a sense. Samantha Lynne. I think 'Samantha', as a name, was made up around 1860. So when is the second generation of pirates? Is that nowish?
In the book I have that tells me about names, it said it was probably invented in the southern states of the US using 'Sam' from Samuel and feminising it with the recently coined 'antha' suffix, possibly suggested by Anthea. Which I think is a vaguely rubbish way to make a name.
She is but a poor deluded child. We can only hope she'll one day get over it. I remember feeling like this after Charlie and the Chocolate Factory came out and I became strangely if briefly involved in its (admittedly quite disturbing) fandom in order to write two fics. I'd never come across so many 12 year old Mary Sues. It was vaguely upsetting.
Oh yes, I think I do remember that one. There was a handful of good stuff, very good stuff some of it, and more dross than I've come across in any other fandom. It was kind of astonishing.
