Subject: The Neverending Story
Ok, I'm stumped ! This movie is a fave of mine and for some reason no matter how many times I watch it I can't figure this out. When Bastian is in the attic of the school reading the book, near the end he's to give the Childlike Emperess a name... he goes to the window and calls it out...WHAT is the name he gave her ?
Subject: Re: The Neverending Story
Well according to this site it is Moon Child :-/

Quoting:2. What is Bastian's "new name" for the Empress, which he yells out of the window?
Bastian names the Empress "Moon Child", as in the book.

I could never figure that one out either. I thought it was supposed to me the same name as his mothers name.

That's what I thought too--I mean, he says that his mother had a beautiful name before he named the princess, right?
But I have read what dagwood said too... ::)
Maybe they didn't want to make what he said clear--that way anyone watching/reading the Neverending Story could "end" it anyway their imaginations would let them.

Here's a site I found that has a sound clip of Bastian calling her name.

Thanks! That's been bugging me for the last 15 years!
Moon Child...OK, it makes sense now
Subject: Re: The Neverending Story
That's what I was thinking... after al lthat time, but still, I though he was naming her after his mother ?
Subject: Re: The Neverending Story
So his mother was named Moon Child? OK...
Can you say...woodstock?
Subject: Re: The Neverending Story
lol.. That's as bad as the girl I worked with whose name was Sunshine ;)
Subject: Re: The Neverending Story
Well, Sunshine I can see...but Moon Child?
She'll be frolicking in the field with Freedom and Rainsong...
Subject: Re: The Neverending Story
Exactly... why torture your child with a name like that !?
Subject: Re: The Neverending Story
How interesting. I had always wondered what the name was, too. It was such a wonderful movie! 8)
