    @clacksee As soon as I read that "Clotted Squid" popped in my head and now won't leave!

        Help a writer out, please. I’m writing a humorous cosy sci-fi murder mystery.

        I have a character who is an absolute delight. He’s affirming and wholesome. He’s a monk. I need help naming his religious order. It’s the Siblinghood of the [adjective] [noun].

        Suggestions? Please and thanks.

            Oh! I forgot it was an adjective in its own right. I only thought of the Star Wars planet. I just looked up the adjective and it means glittering or sparkly, which is actually amazing.

              @clacksee Your mention of Pyrenees made me think of peregrination for some reason. Shepherd is a term for a religious order. It is also related to "canine"...
              Peregrinating Shepherds
              Shepherding Hearts (taking a cue from another contributor)
              Peregrinating Hearts
              Peregrinating Starcasters
              Celestial Shepherds

              The longer words earn the artisan painting or carving a sign for the monastery even more money, I assume, if they are paid by the letter. 🙂 If there is a monastery or residence that needs a sign, of course.

              "Scintillating" deserves an honourable mention. Maybe there is such a thing as a Scintillating Cantina? 🙂

              You had me at humorous cosy sci-fi murder mystery! 🙂

                                    On second thinks... *cancel that idea*! I thought, as I wrote it, that my subconscious might be playing tricks with me, and it was! Too close to the title of that Bond movie...

                                    Sorry. Takes a while for the brain to catch up.

                                        @clacksee The Unforsaken Apostles?
                                        Bedraggled Saints?
                                        Unconjugated Noun-phrases? (if you want to be really weird)

                                          Help a writer out, please. I’m writing a humorous cosy sci-fi murder mystery.

                                          I have a character who is an absolute delight. He’s affirming and wholesome. He’s a monk. I need help naming his religious order. It’s the Siblinghood of the [adjective] [noun].

                                          Suggestions? Please and thanks.

                                          @clacksee (Incidentally, I am writing a work with a range of mystical societies, so I know the pain of trying to make up these sort of names. They have to be both believable and memorable or applicable.)
