Lillian is a gorgeous name. It reminds me of Lillian Gish, and all those beauties from the '20s.
Mal: Then I call it a win. What's the problem? Inara: Should I start with the part where you're stranded in the middle of nowhere, or the part where you have no clothes?

Spike's Bitches 21 Gunn Salute
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I really like Lillian Elizabeth. It rolls elegantly off the tongue.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Timelies.
Joining in on the love for Princess Tickybox's actual name.

Thrive to spite them
Ple -- I remember before you were pregnant with Princess Tickybox you mentioned that Lillian Elizabeth was your top choice for a girl, and I really love the name.

Mostly lurking...
I also really love that name. It's gorgeous.
Someone make me fill out this paperwork. I totally don't want to and am avoiding it like the plague.

If I only had a brain...
Lillian also reminds me of Lillian Roth, an 1890s glamour girl, and of Lillian Gilbreth, one of the founders of time-motion study.
It's a great name. I'm sure Princess Tickybox will add luster to it.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
It's a wonderful name, Plei.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I'm sure Princess Tickybox will add luster to it.
I'm more envisioning the time when she tries to get it all out in one go, and ends up calling herself Lillizabeth.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Cash, mother claims that when I was wee, I would pull myself up and then carefully swing myself over to make good my escape.
Plei, Mom says I learned very early how to hook my wee monkey toes into the mesh of my playpen and escape. I fear there's cosmic retribution afoot.
I get this a lot from my sister.
I'm fighting a cold, so I was a less amused with Owen's accomplishment. That and he was so excited, he didn't go back to sleep until 5.
These stories, while amusing me (and my amusement in turn aggravates the mother in question), also serve the second purpose of reinforcing our decision to not have kids. Hanging out with a newborn will do that too.
Best. Birth. Control. Ever.
Although if you make the decision to have one, you'll do wonderfully!
Lillian Elizabeth
Beautiful name!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
It's a lovely name, and in my family, it would be a family name and one of the more palatable ones, considering that family names include Ora Dora, Hattie Mae, Clara, Regulus, Lester and Immanuel Reuben. Plei's mother should be barred by law from naming anything.
I have a sore throat. Tell it to go away. It may just be a result of eating the world's saltiest food last night. There are always repercussions from eating little fishies very hot, and yet, if I were a really rich person, I'd have a chef to fry up tiny salted anchovies with peppers and serve them with beer by the pool, sodium overload be damned.
