Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

What is even happening?

I have friends who are going to name their 2nd child (due in 6 weeks) Lolly Cinnamon - surname Darling.
I am picturing a Shirley Temple character, here.

If they are fooled and it ends up being a boy, he will be named Elvis Henry "Superman" - surname Darling. I love them, but they take wacky to the extreme.
Hee. Too much, juliana. May their kids share their sense of whimsy.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Personally I would not name a living person after a person who died a grisly death on camera. This is why I will never have relatives named John F. Kennedy, Wallendah, or Darwin Awards.

The other weird thing about having a family middle name and using it is that people invariably think I am married and that it is a hyphenate. "Sophia" Brooks-Taylor, rather than "Sophia" Brooks Taylor.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Tu.

Which is also "you" (one person, informal) in Spanish, French, and Italian.

Just another reason for future non-stop slapping.

I have an uncle who goes by his last name, Howard. His first name is Expedite. (Though I think some people call him X.)

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

The real question is, is this short for something? Because, irritating cuteness is okay when she's 2. When she's a prosecutor, or the second coming of Elliot Ness, I think she'll want to be called Therese, or something.

Oy, the inevitable "serenading" with that song from Annie is reason enough to have not gone there, Rob.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I am reminded of trick-or-treating when I was around 10. We hit a house a street over from ours, where a guy was giving out candy. As he's distributing it, he keeps saying "Cinnamon, don't go outside". There was a cat nearish to the door, so I thought he was talking to the cat. Until he said something to Leroy that was clearly directed towards the cat and I realized that Cinnamon was the little girl hanging onto his leg.

Also, again, I have distant relatives named with the last name Darling. My gradfather's sister married Jimmy Darling-- althought there was some sort of intrigue involved with her not really being married or my grandmaother having an affair with him or something that no one alive remembers. Anyway, her name was Annabelle, but her nickname was "Babe". So she was "Babe" Darling.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

No. Tu has a middle name he said, and I forgot, but apparently Tu is it.

He also said his wife's name is Debbin Ayre (or something along those lines). Say it out loud.
