While I can work with the title-name, it'll make dialogue and stuff a tad clunky, don't you think? And most people will probably ignore you since currently you're exactly like a human, so having a fancy title as a name...doesn't really work too well. You can always pick up the title "She Who Soars Above" later on, say, when you start to get your powers back.

Then can we add a alias name vote next turn if it wins or do I have to make one now? I'm ok with both.

Dialogue is a bit clunky. The... most... glaring... problem... is... the... overuse... of... ellipsis...

[X] Calico
[X] Cats

Because cats. I need no other reason.

Aside: Merry Christmas, everyone!
 
[X] She Who Soars Above
[X] Math

For some reason, I really like Math as a domain. It is "minor" enough that it makes sense that we have been forgotten, but has so much potential. In modern science (particularly physics) math really is everywhere, so with it we don't even have to stretch the concept too far for us to becone very, very powerful.
 
[x] She who soars above
[x]Ambition

This cause I like the idea of a balanced goddess who generally likes peace but is not afraid to shove a sword in someone.

because I would rather have an actual name than some stupid title for some nebulous "Divine Incomprehensibility"

I can just see her opening a bunch of casinos as temples.

Name matters little to me. But the domain?
Well, I'm likely choosing this for very different reasons then everyone else, due to one overlooked fact.

We have one follower left. If we are the goddess of ambition, why would this be so, and what will the world look like where the ambition of man has faded so much?

Yeah, if it wins you guys can come up with an alias next update while "She Who Soars Above" is the only name humans officially know you by, that works.

Then this first vote would have been entirely for nothing name wise, a title is not a name nor should it ever be considered one

To people voting for it it is not incomprehensible nor is it divine it's just stupid

On the one hand, I love title-names like that.

On the other, practicality is an important point. This isn't Exalted, unfortunately.

on the third, I dislike all the others more...especially Calico. It just sounds...mundane, but not mundane enough to be interesting by virtue of it. It still fits okay if cats domain wins, but I doubt it will.

Anyone have any ideas?

That's actually a good proposition with our domain being fortune aka fate(in a way) literally everyone will pray for us and being the wise goddess who everyone turn to for guidance is cool.

On the one hand, I kinda like that vote.

On the second, the name feels a bit on-the-nose. Not that significant, though.

Also, Fortune is generally more like Luck, which is generally quite different from fate. This is generally depicted as a more sought-after domain than fate, so that's good, but it's much less associated with wisdom than gambling and the like.

I used generally a lot because there are certainly exceptions.

Well if we have any sort of control on luck, we can then make anything more likely to happen, which is in a way as I said 'fate'. To give you an idea how it works here is a link.
We are the goddess which will spout nonsense and works, in a way we are 'wise' because our advice always works.
And their is still the fact that we will be a Goddess worshipped by everyone no matter the race or ideology, everyone in some way or another 'pray' for a good note on an evaluation, or 'pray' to live the day after in a war and if we are deep in the people's culture, everyone will instinctively pray to us, a little bit like when you curse with God's name.

I think someone already mentioned it, but it would propably not be impossible to use another, shorter name in addition to our full name? We could use a "normal" nickname, some kind of abbreviated version of our full name, or just declare our full name too sacred to use lightly, forcing our worshipper to use some kind of title or euphemism. :D
