DF Books / Re: Am I the only one that doesn't like the way Dresden is going.

Main characters are not normally very happy, but there is no need for them to be sad and suffering ALL the time. It can be exhausting too (for readers, i mean).

DF Spoilers / Re: Mab (?) in Twelve Months

I did not even think in Richard Strauss. I thought in the two most famous Johann Strauss (there is apparently a third one I am not familiar with). I think both Johannes were born in the Austro-hungarian empire, and I think that would count as "Austria" for a casual mention. Also, I believe the most probable candidate is Mozart because when you mention an Austrian composer he is the first one many people will think about. And because everyone says he was so gifted that, well, perhaps he was inspired by Fae, like Lea.
All that aside, I believe Mab has been Queen for at least several centuries. At least since Shakespeare, so she was Queen when Austria began existing.

I am quite confused about this discussion. But I do agree that Mab, queen Mab, probably had Sarissa and Maeve around the time of Moazart or perhaps Strauss (one of them).

Yes. In my opinion. Harry does not use Bob as he should. I suppose it is because JB does not want to make things easy for Harry. But so many things he should ask...
And yes, it would be fun to ask Bob because he probably would add some fun and personality to his answers.

I like that Dresden in a nutshell.

We know that Mab rode with the Conqueror, but we don't know if she was already Mab.

Also, the knights are mortals, so of course they come and go all the time.

Again, we don't know. My feeling is, no, the mantle would not leave Mab unless she somehow can shake it, which I don't think is possible (unless very specific circumstances happen, at least)

I thought he had given "all his names but once" in SF, but I may be wrong. I reread SF many times, but I have not done it in years. So, I think Harry was talking about what happened in SF and that gives no evidence about if those names still work.

MAEN!
Welcome to the boards  :)
I have disappointing news for you. As far as I know, the answer to your question is a "no". At least, I am sure that JB himself does not do that, and I did not hear of any account doing it. I am sorry. But you could ask a question in the DF Spoilers section and ask the community to tell you what they think that Dresden's answer would be. I believe it could be fun! Of course, if you had not read all the books, ask the question in the DF books section, not the spoiler one, and make clear in the first post until what book you have read.

That is a very good question.

Genetics remain unchanged but I think there is a chance that the Name of Harry Dresden P.I. is different of the Name of Harry Dresden, Winter Knight. But as you said, it is all up to Jim and we don't have textual evidence for anything. It is just what makes sense for me.

I agree. If I understand correctly, human identity changes much than, for example, Mab's identity (Uriel would be an even more extreme example).  In fact, I am wondering if perhaps the Names that Chauncy got for Harry are not so usefur right now.

Well, after all, Harry deserved to be treated a little better after all what happened .

I think Harry explains somewhere that as you cannot use old blood for humans, because humans change, something similar but slower happens with the Name. Perhaps even if someone has no change his legal name, they can change the way they say it, so changing the Name.

I was thinking more about when he summons the demon and introduces us to the concept of True Name. Also, I think when talking with Ferrovax later he says something like he used his Name, or so I believe.
