The Works of Stephenie Meyer

[dwanollah]

I hate twee baby names anyway, but how the fuck is "Renesmee" supposed to be pronounced? Couldn't just name it Jane, could you, stupid StephEnie?

[Deleted]

Hell if I know. And surely Edward remembers his mother's name?

[susyhomewrecker]

It's "Ruh-NEZ-may." Renee (Bella's mom's name) + Esme (Mama Cullen/Edward's vampire mama's name). There's even a phonetic pronunciation in the book, when Bella shares the name with Edward.

Otherwise, I would have pronounced it Renee-Smee. As in Captain Hook and Mr. Smee.

*headdesk* That sounds like some shit a 14-year-old would come up with-

Oh. Wait.

[NappingAthena]

The best part, is that Renesmee's middle name is...Carlie. After Edwards vampdad Carlisle and Bella's dad, Charlie.

Mostly because it would have made, you know, sense to use Edwards biological moms name, but that's Elizabeth which is too normal for a Mormon.

But then we'd end up with Renizabeth, which I'm pretty sure is the only name more horrifying than Renesme.

I suppose we should be grateful there are no superfluous Ys?

Seriously, that's so fucking twatty. Does she have color-shifting eyes? Even VC Andrews was better than this!

Naming a baby isn't like coming up with a celebrity couple name, Stephanie.

I still can't over the fact that she had to write Midnight Sun so that RPattz could get a sense of how to play Edward - despite there being 4 previous books and 1600+ pages of material. FAIL!

See, whenever I tell myself we should read it for the snark, the other part of me says it would just end with me and Dwan just screaming at the book loudly and repeatedly.

[dwanollah]

Say... maybe I SHOULD put it in the Bowl for Book Club!

[huntergrayson]

Can you imagine a book club about Twilight?

I'm thinking literary analysis along the lines of "how dreamy do you think Edward is, super-dreamy or super DUPER dreamy?"

You know the sad thing is I'm *sure* one of those Twilight Moms (don't get me started!) tried to assign it for their suburban hausfrau book club. I wonder if there any reading guides to the series online.
