Omg imagine how the lords would react to Ethan trying to teach Rose how to say their name
For when Rose starts leaving the baby babble stage:
She insists that if Ethan teaches Rose her name he include the full thing plus the title
He tells her that it will be difficult and Alcina tells him to never doubt the capabilities of his own child. He reminds her Rose is a fucking baby
Hovers and makes sure Ethan is teaching her how to say LADY Alcina Dimitrescu.
Technically Rose is successful as she got something that sounds like Lady out. Alcina says it is a good start and acts uninterested but is crying when she gets home.
It reminds her of the newborn nature her girls were like when they first came to be.
Rose is the only person allowed to give her nicknames or just call her lady
Angie just starts screaming words at Rose, in hopes one sticks. Ethan clarifies that is not how teaching words works
Donna is very reasonable and says that Ethan can start small with her and try “Don”. Angie stops screaming and says she wants Ethan to teach her name too
They let Ethan do his thing but Angie secretly puts on puppet shows for Rose were she is trying to get her to babble out one of their names
“This is my friend Shirley and Huey and whose this? That’s right Donna and her friend Angie. Can you say that, D-O-N-N-A and A-N-G-I-E?”
Donna allows this and sits close by. Ethan is kinda relieved he has one less tutoring lesson to do
When she finally gets something, she’s a little confused because she can’t tell who is supposed to be Donna/Angie. Rose calls them “Dongie” and Angie insist Donna make a doll hybrid of them.
Surprised Ethan even bothered to make the trek to have him be involved in the process of learning his name. Ethan insists that he wouldn’t leave him out (also Rose learns names faster if she can put a face to it)
Actually the first time Ethan learns his first name and he realizes that it might be too many hard syllables for Rose, tries to shorten it to Sal or just Moreau for now
Salvatore is now happy the baby is learning who he is and also he gets a nickname! He’s gonna have to get a second piece of paper for his “Social interactions of the month” list.
Rose learns his name surprisingly quick! Possibly cause his voice is funny and so she listens more closely. Again she mixes Sal and Morea and we get Salmo. Ethan said it sounded like Salmon and now Rose calls him that
Moreau has two nicknames and is super happy Rose not only isn’t scared of him, but likes being in the reservoir, asks Ethan if he can visit with Rose more often
Ethan says yes as long as Moreau can get the retching and like copious amounts of fungus in check (like seriously dude, no one visits cause its rank up in there)
says he doesn’t want the baby to learn his name. Says he plans on finding a way out soon and it be no use to Rose to put a name to a face she’ll never see
Ethan knows Karl’s chances of getting out are practically impossible and that Karl just doesn’t wanna get attached. Respects his wishes tho... yeah right I’m lying
Doesn’t outright teach Rose, Karl’s name but brings her around more when he visits and uses his name a lot more
“What a bang up job, Karl. This is some nice wielding work, Karl. Don’t you think K-A-R-L did a good job Rosie?”
Karl doesn’t pick up on it until Rose actually says his name. He’s beyond impressed that Rose got it before he picked up on Ethan’s tricks. He gets Ethan back tho (Rose learns the fuck word)
Acts like he doesn’t care but def brags to Alcina and the other lords that Rose learned his REAL name, no nickname or associated word. Plus Rose excitedly shouting “KARL :D” every time she sees him does wonders on his mood.
Rosemary Winters (Bonus; Lords nicknames for her)
Alcina calls her Lady Winters as a sign of respect and playfulness
Donna calls her bud to play on her like of gardening and Rose(Bud)
Angie calls her Rosie cause she likes the idea of them both having the IE sound
Sal calls her guppy or tadpole. Sometimes he’ll call her Vie, life in French, both because of the song La Vie en Rose and I headcanon him being of French descent.
Karl calls her Little Winters or (was gonna be prick but Ethan would kill him)
They all fight over which nickname is best suited for her.
