I'm fond of Clara, particularly since it was my grandmother's name, but I think it would be hard on a modern child.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Clara is beautiful- I tried to pitch it to my sister for her daughter born in November- as an alternative to "Sarah" which they were considering.
I failed to even get them to take that idea seriously for one second.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Lillian Elizabeth is beautiful. I also like Clara (I knew a little mischievous Clara once who was adorable).

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Actually, after doing transcription for the attending notes in the nursery at my hospital for the past six months or so, I can attest to the fact that there are quite a few brand-new modern baby Claras about. By the time they hit 4 or 5 years, there'll be so many of them that the only problem with Clara will be that there'll be so many of them.

I knew my babylust was big and doomy
I had a baby fall asleep on me on Saturday. I was at my Mom's, and a friend of hers came over with her new(ish) baby -- he's 2 months, and is the size of a 4-month-old. I held him in the cradled-in-my-arms hold, which he objected to vigorously. So I held him up against my chest and shoulder, and he immediately snuggled his little baby face into the crook of my neck, snuffled, and fell asleep. Finally I sat down on the couch and then carefully reclined so that the baby was flopped on my chest, and all he did was open one eye, snuffle again, and turn his head to the other side. I love that boneless warm sleeping-baby weight.
Lillian is a gorgeous name.
See, I'm earwormed with the Beatles. "Rocky Raccoon," to be exact. ("Her name was McGill, and she called herself Lill, but everyone knew her as Nancy....")

Lillian Elizabeth is a lovely name.
I just came back from PT. My pelvis is unstable. How's that for entertaining? And I will need many, many more visits than the mere 6 for which I was referred. The electro-shock machine gave me a 15 minute shoulder massage, and I learned new exercises I am supposed to do once an hour all day long.
The nice thing is that the PT office is only about 5 blocks from home so I can walk there if I have to.

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
I love Lillian, Plei- it's great.
I've looked at the family tree, and its full of Norma, Gladys, and Lois type names. The one interesting one comes from my unknown Southern half of the family- I had a great grandmother named Ophie. I'm going to decide that it's short for Ophelia and put it into my pool of baby names.

I'm picturing your pelvis stomping off to its room, shouting "I HATE YOU WHY DON'T YOU JUST LET ME GET A TATTOO EVERYONE ELSE HAS ONE I HATE YOU SO MUCH!", slamming the door, and then weeping.

Love the name, Plei.

I didn't realize that Clara is once again moving up the charts. In that case, I'll pimp my grandmother's name, Clara Estelle, to the potential baby-having people out there.
Who knows? Maybe Mabel and Gertrude will be popular again.
