Lindini what is it with big authors naming the kids ridiculous blendy names?! albus severus? renesmee carlie?... i'll admit that renesmee grew on me after a while, but the whole notion that bella just took nessie's grandparents names and whipped em up in a blender kind of threw me off. seems a bit OOC, ya know? come to think of it, did many other people find the book kind of (extremely) disconnected from the rest of the series? don't get me wrong, i still loved it, but it felt so separate.
I AGREE SO MUCH!! The middle name, Carlie, I could deal with, because that is technically an actual girls name, even if the only reason she used it was because of Charlie and Carlisle. But Renesmee?? WHAT? It got a little annoying to read that throughout the book, though I knew eventually Nessie would grow on Bella. Haha. "You nicknamed my daughter after the Loch Ness Monster?" Hilarious. I loved Jake in this.
I agree with you on HP too. Albus Severus? NEVER give your kid first/middle names that rhyme!

@ jade... yeah, When everyone was calling her Nessie, I got confused and thought her name was Nellie once... I personally like that better than Nessie, but hey, its not bad.
@Lindini, oh yeah, forgot to mention in the other post, but I agree with you on the separate thing. This book was so... mature. It came right down to the issue of rigth vs. wrong, which is what the characters have been meditating on (edward especially) from the begininng... so it is still connected. But it was so different. It wasn't just a romance anymore. It was something more, and infinitely more important. Have a kid changes everything. Bella and Edward seemed so much different than a 17 & 18 year old in love, starting their life. They were so adult, and they had to be, to face everything that was coming against them and Nessie.
