Can you mix Titanium and Sodium?
I know nothing of physics, obviously, so this may be an absolute silly question, but are you able to mix Titanium and Sodium? If so, how could this be done, and what would it make...a metal that can be worn? I know this sounds silly, but my reason for asking is I'd like to make MY elements into something, TiNa = Titanium Sodium

You could get some sodium titanate (Na2Ti3O7) but it somehow loses something when in print!

Yes, Trevor. In fact it loses everything in print. The lady's name is Tina, so nothing but titanium + sodium will suit. Unfortunately there's no way to alloy those two metals - their inherent properties are too different.
