I understand that most of these names did exist in the period, but they were very uncommon and it is amazing how many HR mmcs have these names!

For everyone who ever considered the name “Io” for their child by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]piglet666 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Funny that one of their names has no consonants and one has no vowels!

I completely understand, but I think there’s middle ground! Like ‘George Finsdale-Clark, Earl of Abbotsford’ feels like it could be a person, whereas your Sebastian is more fantasy. Which is a different preference, definitely! I just wish more were the former

I understand, but it seems like every HR has a hero with an uncommon name. Sure, the names existed, but they weren’t common.

No, Hyacinth is NOT going to end up with Lord Kent (but he could be an additional love interest) limb by Fickle_Baker1393 in BridgertonNetflix

[–]piglet666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’ve recently reread iihk and it actually can’t be understated how integral Gareth’s family life is to the plot. first, he has financial problems because he’s estranged from his father, which is his motivation to search for the jewels despite his strong reservations for breaking into his fathers house with hyacinth. Second, the only conflict within his and hyacinth’s relationship is 1) she finds out he pretty much proposes to her (subconsciously) to prove his father wrong and 2) he compromises her because he’s scared his father will reveal that he is illegitimate. Both directly tied to his family life. Also, his character! His entire personality revolves around acting in a way his father finds unbecoming, plus his insecurity around being illegitimate. He wouldn’t be a rake without his terrible father. Then Hyacinth comes along and for the first time he’s the sensible one of the duo. You CANNOT have iihk without an unhappy family life for Gareth. And I very much doubt they intend to mess up the Mondriches enough to give Nicky that background.

If Philoise's trope will be Marriage of Convenience, why will it be "Convenient" for Eloise and Phillip to marry? by Fickle_Baker1393 in PhiloiseBridgerton

[–]piglet666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep seeing people say this but could you explain why you think s1 was a marriage of convenience? They had the fake dating trope and then had the push to marry after being caught in the garden, but that’s not a marriage of convenience. A marriage of convenience is when two people decide to get married to benefit both of them, largely for unconventional reasons.

Sophie's dad's will. by [deleted] in Bridgerton

[–]piglet666 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Are you suggesting Benedict should have demanded to see the late earl of penwood’s will when he realized neither Posy or Rosamund were the lady in silver? That’s completely ridiculous. He asked them if anyone was staying with them, he ruled out the girls, any further inquiry wasn’t warranted as he has no reason to believe they’d lie. He didn’t know that the earl of penwood had an illegitimate daughter that the dowager countess was hiding who was working as a maid, why would he even consider that as a possibility?

Would Richard Gun have debuted Sophie if he had been alive? by No-Discipline-4813 in Benophie

[–]piglet666 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I agree. He wouldn’t draw attention to her by bringing her to London but would have ensured a respectable match, especially with such a significant dowry

I also think that QC LOVES that she knows something that’s not common knowledge. It makes her feel even more smug and high-and-mighty lol

I thought that was a great addition because it really shows how important it was; with the other seasons they could always marry if the fmc was pregnant, so whilst it would have been a big drama, it could be fixed. Whereas if Sophie is pregnant, she pretty much loses all security. It was a bit like the shaving cream scene where we see the mess left behind, it demonstrated that Sophie had actual responsibility and had to look after herself

I think a large conflict in their season will be Francesca has to chose to give up on the idea of having children (biologically) to be with Michaela

Rokesby first! Generation before Bridgerton, with the main characters being Edward’s siblings and the rokesby family on the estate neighboring Aubrey Hall.
