"wow bitch can sing" a great start to any adventure lol

[@AtlanticGiantPumpkin]

I GOT A NAME FOR YOU!! Freya means Goddess of Love, Fertility, and Beauty. It is of Scandinavian origin, so it fits pretty well with the Baltic Sea. Alternatively spelled Freja, (the j makes a y sound), and I think that would fit the character pretty freaking well.

[@pemo2676]

It's a really good idea I hope this gets in

[@iris5657]

I agree with this name

[@pavel4457]

Or spelled Frøya, which is how we spell it in Norway

[@paigecoolest]

Hazel Grey agreed good choice

[@stell0rd]

I thought about Freya, too, but I feel it sounds too nordish for the given last name

[@d.c.destiny]

Um, petition for Mo Mo to do a full cover of How Far I’ll Go??? Her voice is freaking gorgeous!!!

[@emmadilemma00]

Wish there was more Larp in Australia. There's not much here. Also, Farryn is a nice name. #momosetssail

[@frank7411]

I wish there were more Larps here in Brazil too. Actually, I've ever only heard about a Harry Potter one, but it's too far away and expensive for me to go right now. :/

[@jim-bob3093]

New Zealand has no fantasy community. My aussie brethren we need to amend this...

[@arcieboii]

Hey Emma! you would be suprised unfortunatly its not the lack of LARPS Australia has as a problem, its the lack of publicity and advertisement; relatively you can find a larp in every city / surrounding suburbs - Although obviously I can't speak for everywhere but normally it just takes alot more digging i've recently just acouple months ago found my one out in western sydney suburbs, took me like 2 years of search and I actually found them at a Medieval Festival ^-^!

[@isabellp.5730]

My baby cousins name is Faryn (spelled differently tho😊)

[@antonioa1971]

where in australia do u live?

[@ephinyhurst]

Ok, hear me out. Since your character's parents were simple famers they would more then likely name their child something associated with growing, plants or the earth, so how about names like : Fabia - bean grower Fairlee - from the yellow meadow (my favorite) Fernley - from the fern meadow Flora - Flower

[@ConspiracyCrayon]

Fabia and fairlee both work very well

[@TheSarakania]

i like flora..^^

[@margotmasclans8416]

Use the #momosetssail hashtag so she'll see it

[@skyethewolf]

ooh i like fairlee

[@evd99]

I was going to throw in Fleur which is Flower as well but in French.

[@stell0rd]

I would go for something simple and dreamy that goes well with the last name: Faye. And everytime you get the chance to go on such an amazing LARP I get super exited for you! This is going to be awesome, your character is going to be awesome and you are going to be awesome! Have fun!

[@dangerwpr]

#momosetssail Fabienne - a classic French Female name meaning "bean grower", which would be both ironic and in keeping with her being born of farmers.

[@RobinFae6772]

#momosetsail I think a good name is Freya. Freya is the name of the goddess of love and beauty. Also, Freya Stark was an explorer and writer during the early 1900's .

[@Gabdube]

The last name is greek. It would require some explaining as to why her parents would give her a germanic pagan first name.

[@bombshellcat]

Felicity might actually really suit this character's personality and rather bardic abilities. :D So excited for you! Can't wait to see what you share!

[@rachelrhodes5046]

"Faith Anagnos" has a nice ring to it (sounds pretty regal if you ask me) and the whole backstory thing where she changes her faith at the last minute... wow symbolism, boy oh boy would my english teacher be proud :))) Also "Filipa" is pretty sweet, it's more casual and people can go ahead and call ya flip.

[@Gabdube]

Would make sense and fit with the last name, which is greco-roman and relates to a common concept in european religious philosophy.

[@krysteen5423]

Felicia. Perfect piratey name :D Have a good time! Update us on all the adventures!!!

[@dangerwpr]

#momosetssail Per another fan's suggestion... some Greek name suggestions (to compliment the Greek family name) compiled from different sites, formatted, and trimmed down to remove duplicates, etc... Some nicknames or variations were given their own lines. This is a lot of info, though. Maybe folks should pick out their favs from the list and suggest them separately if they like them. Filomila looks like it matches the musical back story of the character well. And, Flora (and it's other versions) still make the list. And, we pick up some love of horses (Filipina, Flip, etc.) for their use on farms in the time period. Faedra - Meaning: Bright Fanouria - Meaning: He illuminates, he reveals Febe - Meaning: Brightest of women Fedora - Meaning: God given Fedra - Meaning: Bright, Shining from grace Felix - Meaning: Fortunate or happy Feodora - Meaning: God given Fereniki - Meaning: Victorious Fern - Meaning: A Fern Plant Fevronia - Meaning: Purified Filareti - Meaning: She loves virtue Filia - Meaning: Daughter; represents love between a parent and child Filimonia - Meaning: Gentle, tender Filipina - Meaning: Friend of horses Filippa - Meaning: Friend of horses Filomena - Meaning: Strong love, Lover of man, Beloved Filomenia - Meaning: Strong love, Lover of man, Beloved Filomila - Meaning: Friend of music, of harmony Flavian - Meaning: Blond or fair haired Flaviani - Meaning: Blond Flip - Meaning: Friend of horses Flora - Meaning: Flower Florendia - Meaning: Flowered, blooming Fotini - Meaning: Light - Meaning: Ancient Greek origin), God's revelation Frixoula - Meaning: Light swell, chill, horror, scary, frightening Frona - Meaning: One with common sense Froso - Meaning: Nickname of Euphrosyne - Joy

[@elizabethmaloney2239]

You should call her: -Fleur -Faith -Felicity -Fawn -Francesca I hope you like some of these names :v

[@jubejube393]

I love how her first instinct when in immediate danger was "shit! better sing!"

[@yamum]

*hears music* Me: DOO DA LOO DO DOO DA LOO LODA DO

[@einfachlea2627]

I want a cover of How Far I'll Go from you! Your singing is so beautiful! (Btw, love your channel and videos about LARP! Greetings from Germany 😊)

[@cas7356]

"tHiS b*tCh CaN sInG--" XD

[@cassigrace921]

Names: Faira/Fara -idk why but I feel like this name kinda fits your character :) Fanya/Fania -this is a slavic name and it means free Fallyn- irish name meaning in charge Fleurette- french name meaning little flower Faren- english name meaning wandering Faer -english name meaning traveler

[@beanstalk4899]

My name suggestion is Florence!

[@jackbarman7063]

Wow you are a really good singer

[@tootles444]

Momo I think that might be my favorite adhd statement. “Hope for the best and prepare for … nothing “. I connect with it so much! Also really loved the videos of this larp. Looked so fun! It’s great to see the background info. Love you’re and Az’s channels.

[@kenzimiller4410]

Folly! Folly Anagnos. Literally meaning foolishness or lack of good sense. Maybe her parents and her village gave it to her as a nickname when she was a child and it stuck, maybe it’s short for a mouthful of a name like Foloshade or Forsythia, or maybe it’s some wild self-fulfilling prophecy. I just love the way it sounds. Folly is a total pirate word.

[@charlesmatheo6562]

Call her Fabienne, it literally means cute, small bean. I think that would fit you and your character perfectly. 😊

[@plangojam6232]

She seems like a Felicity to me - also, I can't freaking wait to see how this LARP goes! I live vicariously through your larping experiences LOL

[@briwaterman2350]

2:58 Okay, phew, your cat scared me for a moment I thought it was someone at the window😰

[@hannahp5407]

Faye, Farryn, Fallyn, Freda, Faylinn, Fauna, Fia #momosetssails Love you Mo Mo

[@QueenCrownMTG]

Your videos really brighten up my day, the keen I can see in your face and just your smile when you get into and excited about things is just perfect. You could light up a room. have fun!

[@stell0rd]

I looooove the background story with the paper dolls! *-* your video skills are amazing!

[@valentinaalvarezdovarganes3104]

#momosetssail *Freya*, or something really masculine that you can bring to life with pink and personality like *Felix*, if her parents were expecting a boy and she just went with it because she's so sweet. Other suggestions for this idea are: *Farrel, Ferris*, you can also find your own names with this idea in mind....or, what if your character and your name stood for things that were polar opposites like *Fachtna* which means hostile in Dutch and then people could be like...really...she doesn't really seem hostile and the your character could be all clumsy and sweet and offended. That would be really cute. Also I thin both suggestions could bring rich back stories to the character in a very simple way and bring with it fun interactions with other characters around her, such as banter which could potentially be very fun, and hilarious to be around. *please read it all so the names make sense, I swear it's worth the time!* also, huge fan, love ya! ❤️

[@RobinFae6772]

Valentina Alvarez Dovarganes , #momosetsail Freya!

[@Gabdube]

The last name is of greco-roman origin. A germanic pagan first name might require some background.

[@merivesi7021]

'Fachtna' does not mean 'hostile' in Dutch.

[@shinyandnotpanicking]

Oh my goodness, I'm laughing so hard. The joke we in Clan Gulph always made , that we're not pirates, we're "privateers", they actually put in writing for you guys. That's amazing. Also we didn't have anyone in charge of shanties but Gulph is huge into music. We even came up with like an independence day like holiday surrounding our types of music and have like playlists and shit, so if you want pirate, *couch* excuse me, privateeerrr music ideas, let me know!

[@fudgebears]

#momosetssail yaaaay i love her! Anagnos is apparently Greek and means something like church lector but also cantor, which is amazing and appropriate. Freya is my name so of course I'll suggest that, but Filia Anagnos (meaning friendship), Flavia Anagnos (meaning yellow or blonde), Farah Anagnos (meaning joy), Fawn Anagnos (meaning...young deer lol), and Felicity Anagnos (meaning happiness) are all also very fitting :)

[@kathleendoyle8327]

I immediately thought of Francine! Frankie for short?? Love you MoMo!!💖💖💖

[@jessicacasey3798]

Oh my gosh I'm so excited to see more!!! For your character's name, I really like Fae, Fawn, Fabienne, Faith, Flora, or Felicity. #momosetsail

[@nikkernoodle1]

Omg!! I really wanted to go to this LARP as my first LARP but I had a scheduling conflict. I can't wait to see how it all goes down!!!

[@arcieboii]

Ahhh Mo Mo i'm so happy you are starting to upload again! ^-^ I hope everything in your life has sorted itself or is sorting itself and aren't jumping into youtube too quickly again! We Understand ^-^ :D

[@chibirealm3472]

Love love love! Im super excited now to see your character and this larp!

[@Gadzooks06]

I wish I could like this video more than once! I also Felicity is a very pretty period-esque name! But I'm sure whichever name you pick is going to be perfect!

[@scaly-heart4651]

I love your character design it's really pretty. Some name ideas for her could be maybe Faith or Fiona. This looks really cool I hope you have a lot of fun. ❤

[@trinityhopp2672]

Fauna (the description for the name just reminded me of you)- Do you envision a little girl skipping barefoot though the forest with a crown of flowers on her head? It's a name for parents who love nature, also a fairy from Disney's Sleeping Beauty.

[@kfrews]

Looks like fun, glad you found the song "Sailors Hornpipes"

[@DaBezzzz]

THIS IS AWESOME THE TWO OF MY FAVOURITE KZbin LARPERS ARE LARPING AS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE TEAMS Also, Felicia. First thing that popped into my head #momosetssail Also "A Sailor's Journey" by Peter Crowley is an awesome song, maybe you can make a cover because I would watch the living kraken out of that

[@magentamayhem9510]

3:00 KITTY! !!! (Great video btw!)

[@otterwater3946]

I can't wait to see the rest of the series, this Larp seems like it's going to be legendary, I wish I could be there for it! But enjoy the trip! I don't care how much you vlog, as long as I get to hear you sing some more! your singing is fantastic!

[@wulvercreative6511]

This is the first video of yours I’ve ever seen and two take seats: 1)you’re really funny omg please never change 2)DAMN YOU CAN SING REALLY FUCKING GOOD

[@judithstormcrow9073]

FELINE. There ya go girl.Your videos are so cute. Oof. It's inspiring, I am tempted to make little videos about my oc's now

[@evd99]

Somehow with the last name you got the name Fleur just popped into my brain. I also like Freya/Freja as a lot of people mentioned already. :)

[@beanstalk4899]

Aw this video was so Cute! Loved the little puppets! I love pirates this sounds super fun!

[@rosywatkins8786]

I immediately thought of Fiona. It seems to fit the princess-y vibe. :) Pumped for the series!

[@jrdnspnhk]

That hair colour suits you so well Momo!! 💕

[@YoloHunt]

That's so cool you get to do it all on a real ship! Have fun Momo!

[@anna_jl]

I love the part about The Road To Eldorado. It was spot on haha

[@jaylafernandes5429]

Was I the only one who died laughing when you she say”that bitch can singgg”😂😂😂

[@jim-bob3093]

I got three for a pirate milady!!!! Fanetta means "crowned with laurels" since we all know how much you love them. Firtha means "in the arms of the sea" which you kinda will me. And my favorite, Fable. "Tale" "legendary tale" Fitting her dreamy like personallity and the story telling element of the larp. Not to mention the old sea fables are always awesome. #Momosetssail

[@maidenluthien]

There is Faro, which is an island in the Baltic Sea, and it also has a Spanish translation that means beacon, like from a lighthouse or the light of a lamp.It would go well with your character and the idea of bringing light and happiness where it would otherwise be dark and gloomy.Love your channel, btw!:D #momosetssail

[@jairo2115]

Its not 'piratey' but it has some really good songs and its aesthetic v aesthetic. "Song of the Sea". is an irish animated film and its super cute! It might have some good songs you might want to use on deck. Also here is a good little sailor rhyme from somewhere on the internets: May your anchor be tight, your cork loose, your rum spiced and your compass true. MUCH LOVEEE SENT TO U MOMO

[@greencupcakes1]

CALL HER FIGGY! It's super cute and could be a nickname for something weird and long (like Figulandria or something else will a million random letters) and that could be a fun explanation to tell people!

[@ryanbehe2379]

oh heckin heck yeah!!! Another heckin upload? YAY!!! Ima watch the heck outa this! #momosetsail

[@neveragain1657]

#momosetsail FLORENCE!

[@maxximumb]

Flo-flo for short.

[@paigecoolest]

A "how I edit my videos" would be so cool! I love your videos

[@sophiaroth1930]

THAT sounds So COoL! OmG GOd Ur sO lUCky btw ur cat's really cute! And every time I hear u sing (I know u can) but I all ways freeze and am like: "GIRL! U SING LIKE SO GOOOODDDD!" (I can't sing. wish I could.)

[@raineashford190]

I thought Felicity would be a pretty name for your character! And the name means good fortune / happiness so it could work!

[@CoriSparx]

#momosetssail What about "Felicity?" It means "happiness" so I guess it fits... ^^;

[@artemisia8335]

CoriSparks I completely agree, also the name Felicity was very popular in the 16-1700s.

[@im.moonstuck]

THE ROAD TO EL DORADO IS SO GOOD!!

[@sparklewink]

I'm so stoked to see how this character turns out since I loved your maid character from the last Larp video!!

[@CherokeeFlutist59]

Is this larp like only a one time thing or is it gonna be an annual one? If it'll be happening again, I want in on this! And how about Farnese? Just random #MomoSetsSail

[@aaaerdna]

Flora! Feminine but still powerful! Excited to see vids of the LARP 💖💖

[@nicolasokeefe3671]

IM SO EXCITED! AND I JUST CANT HIDE IT 🎶🎶

[@ZebraNinjaFalconWolf]

Since her parents were farmers, I think Flora would be a beautiful name for her. In Latin, the meaning of the name Flora is The mythological Roman goddess of flowers. There is also Faye, Felicity or Felka. The name Faye, Can mean Fairy, Loyalty or belief. The polish meaning for the name Felka is "Lucky". And Felicity can mean Happiness, luck, or good fortune.

[@KhaoticPhoenix]

If you haven't seen it yet, although it is not technically pirates, watch Master and Commander, Far side of the world! Excellent historical drama on the high seas. Also in terms of names, Faith, shortened to Fae.

[@CochroachKappa]

I created a steampunk captain named Fairy/Faerie after finding out it was a real historical girls name for a while. (Her last name was Merlin which was also historically accurate too, haha.) She wasn't found of her first name, but a nice aerie (pun) name like that might be perfect for you!

[@ladyalfhildrforestofvioletmist]

Also if you need recomendations for sea shanties I studied abroad on a sailing vessel last year (the Roseway, home of the World Ocean School) and I sort of learned a couple :) I mean, I hate to be this person, but as much as I love it and as much as it expresses love for the ocean, "How Far I'll Go" isn't technically a sea *shantie*--it's more melodic, like a sea ballad. Sea shanties have a very specific rhythm to them because they're designed to accompany specific tasks on the boat; the two I learned best were for raising the sails, for example, and you can hear it in the beat each time you pull on the halyard. The call and response helps keep everyone on track and in time so you're all pulling together, so the rhythm's very important. The two I learned best are called "a long time ago" and "reuben ranzo". There are versions of them in my sailing playlist on my channel, though they're not quite like how we sang them on Roseway (the version of Ranzo is much faster for example, but perhaps we were slower raising the sails since we were amateurs). Anyway, there are thousands of variations of sea shanties since every sailor sings them differently, but the two in my playlist take me back well enough to my study abroad adventure :) I hope you enjoy your larp adventure! It will probably be much more piratey than my voyage was :) Maybe some day I can go on that one...

[@ladyalfhildrforestofvioletmist]

--also my spyglass is bigger than yours--- I'm sorry, I just saw your spyglass at 0:11 and immediately thought of that scene where Jack and Barbossa are competing with how long their spyglasses are and I realized mine is longer and I felt that mean piratey pride XD

[@Kanakadea]

Captains All / Aurelio Voltaire awesome pirate cosplay song!

[@xcosmicvoidx]

My first thought for the name was Felicity, it just sounds cute and pirate princess-y. Hope you have fun!

[@paca_bill4863]

This LARP role made me think of several background sources - the real legend of Grace O'Malley, the Irish Pirate Queen; Gilbert & Sullivan's Pirates of Penzance, and the 1982 Australian movie, The Pirate Movie (based on Penzance). OK, maybe not the Pirate Movie - it was way too campy. Swashbuckling is always good (oh boy, more swordplay!), as well as singing good old pirate songs! Your character needs to be a reasonably strong and clever one - living day-to-day with those rouges would develop that. Smart and clever and charming - out-think 'em, and out-smart them, and out-charm them as well :)

[@brandonwilliamson6346]

Glad to see you back MoMo

[@bunibee765]

Momo youve never looked so happy omg! Will you vlog your journey during Skull and Crossbones?? Oh and maybe Fiona would be a good name x

[@MoMoOBrien]

Cheyene is actually officially going as my camera man so She'll be filming me the whole way. That lantern shes holding actually has a go-pro in it

[@bunibee765]

Mo Mo O'Brien Oh my gosh I cant believe you replied!! I hope you enjoy yourself ♡♡

[@valentinaalvarezdovarganes3104]

That costume was amazing. Just wow.

[@TheShamois]

This LARP sounds so amazing o____o Quite jealous (will have to see if UK have any pirate LARPS) I love the trait system! Makes things so interesting. #MoMoSetsSail Fluer! Cause yay flowers :)

[@RobinFae6772]

Gosh this made me laugh so much! You guys' characters are hilarious. Now I really want to go. Awsome work on the dress and everything!

[@pike7090]

Also this looks super awesome and I would love doing this.

[@Senfree]

Glad to see a L.A.R.P video from you. Feels like it's been forever. Also, how are you doing?

[@HelleraHighwind]

Momo, you need to make the skirt shorter. For safety reasons. You will step on it for sure cause there will be a lot of different height platforms on the ship + swaying, moving around etc. The Baltic might be a small inland sea but it gets rough out here :)

[@MoMoOBrien]

I haven't hemed the jacket yet but its on the to-do list.

[@HelleraHighwind]

Very good! May your needles be sharp and your hand unfaltering! The Tailor Gods of LARP are watching over you!

[@sparklewink]

Your top is so cute! Also I see you found the audio for the Anchors Aweigh song hahahah

[@karenpfeiffer9516]

Name suggestions- Fatima, Fannie, Francesca (Fran), Flossy. Although I think your costume looks like a Flora or Florence.

[@rnger6274]

Im digging this immensely......like alot ARGH I wish I can sail tha ocean blue!

[@MrPandafarts]

More puppet theater! Another great video. Keep it up :)

[@LovableFlamingoAndDuckie]

*me in 2020 rewatching some of mo mo's videos*

[@chiekokatsune8234]

It makes me really happy that a Canadian likes Scott Pilgrim.

[@jennadrake6011]

omg.. i didnt think you would LITERALLY be on the OCEAN!!!! I thought that it was gonna be like three ships just like beached on the shore!!!

[@Eddn102]

They're gonna be steering the ships as well.

[@emmac1753]

I'm forever in love with the name Florence (it was the main characters name in every single one of the stories I wrote when I was like 6). Also Fern (or Ferne) because it's simple just like her life was suppose to be and a plant and her parents were farmers. Or Filips cause it's so cute (It's Baltic but also traditionally a guys name so I'm not sure how'd that one would work also the meaning has basically nothing to do with it but it's sO CUTE).#momosetsail Anyway, this LARP looks amazing, I hope you have a great time there! Sending lots of love (and a little jealousy) from Vermont.

[@Caroline-so9ti]

MoMo you need to do a full cover of How far I'll go as your character!

[@ThistlesPins]

Oooh, the design document is online! I used to look at the SaC website from time to time but then trailed off again (after I realised that I wouldn't go, sadly). I hope you're going to have so much fun! I think you're going to make a wonderful pirateprincess!Claire. I live Finnola for a name but it doesn't really match the last name. How about Fiammetta, "little flame"? #momosetssail

[@alexiswayward]

I feel like Fiona is a great name! For me it's kinda dreamy but at the same time it kicks ass because Shrek

[@geeklette99]

I still cant get over your costume, its so pretty!!! What about Feli? or Felli, depending on what spelling you want

[@sijnro2597]

I loved the nod to Scott Pilgrim

[@Kelpnugget]

#momosetsail Fiora or Flora. Can't wait to hear more about this larp it looks amazing!

[@Gormfork]

After hearing your character's backstory, the word 'Fernweh' pops into mind, which is a rough translation of a German phrase meaning a longing for adventure/wanderlust. Maybe you could do a play on that, or do a similar word such as 'Frihet', a Swedish translation of 'freedom'. Last (and my personal favorite) is the Danish translation of 'fleet'(either relating to a fleet of ships or the fleeting wife-to-be), which is 'Flade'. It is pronounced like 'Flail' from what i gather, so your name would sound like an awesome weapon while also having a double meaning relating to the sea and your past. I think it's pretty nifty. #momosetssail

[@TheFantasylover96]

Omg I've been trying to convince my friend to LARP with me for our first time and I literally suggested that we be the Miguel and Tulio in the group 😂

[@coraline171]

Ahhh I'm so excited for you and hope to hear all about it!

[@petuniaolgapicklewrinkle3441]

Names that I haven't seen in the comment section: Faida, Fabiana, Fausta, Faustina, Fevronia, Filadelfia, Fortuna, Frederica.
