Willow ,'Conversations with Dead People'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My sister's name was Isaac, until they got the birth certificate amended. We still called her that sometimes.Hee.
Benjamin in named for my grandmother. She was the fifth of eight children. They'd had boy - girl - boy - girl, and my great grandfather was certain she was going to be a boy. The doctor who delivered Nana called her dad into the room, and said, "Here's your Benny boy."
Ben stuck.
I have an aunt named Bill. Her name is actually Bill Jane. They called her Willy Jane. For real.
She's not even Wilhelmina, Cashmere?
Nope. Bill. Just Bill.
Silly Hillybillies.
Was she named for somebody?
I always wondered about that actress that played Mama Walton--Michael Learned. It's pretty, and eye-catching, but that's just something I wouldn't do to a kid, because a kid has to live the first 20 something years of his life with other kids, who just aren't going care how creative, or nostalgic a name is.

El Paso is a happy city? El Paso?!
They're smoking something funny. That place is a concrete armpit. I'll bet it was based on sunny days or some shit.
Yay Burrell and baby (and Dad and new big sister!)!
Why does a cat find a hairspray lid at 5 am? Why do I wake up at 6 am when I have no intention of getting up and the alarm hasn't gone off?
So, Salt Lake City is just a bit less depressed than New York. This amuses me.
I am here only to say "Welcome Isaac!" and "SERENITY: SQUEEE!"
You may now return to your regularly scheduled Natter.
Was she named for somebody?
Probably for an uncle or something like that. Dad never said for sure. His other sisters are Norrie, Kate and Liddy. The boys names are all pretty common: John, Rob, Wes, Howard and Joe.
