Speaking of babies, has anyone seen the baby name wizard? [link] It shows how popular names have been over the past 100 years. Kind of addictive.
Wow, Lilybean is going to have some classmates in common. That name has spiked off the charts. "Emmett" as a name was completely dead until it resurged in the last decade.
I noticed "Leif" had a brief surge (if you call about 40 in every million a surge) in the late 70s and 80s and is now gone.
That's irritating, Lilty. I'd be tempted to blow him off, or make snide comments along the "are these for real plans or are you just practicing?" lines.
Now I don't feel quite so silly for having all my money in a checking acount. Or two checking accounts. But no money market involved.
No names starting with Emeline have been in the top 1000 in any decade.
BWAH.
Of course, Emma is just a billion.

Barter. I'll hem your dress, you cut my hair, he'll change the oil, she'll bake bread, we'll all be clothed, groomed, transported and fed.
I am at work.
I thought you all might like the update.
Also, I have a Mint Mocha Chip frozen thingy from Starbucks. It is of the yum.

Julia and Ben skyrocketed after I chose them. Christopher plummeted.

I would be all for that, except most of my shopping is done through the magic of the internets.
{{Gud}} Happy belated birthday!
{{Trudy}} What a maddening work situation. I hope things get smoothed out.
I don't even want to talk about it.
Actually, it's weird -- Emily's been at the top of the list for several years now, but I only personally know of one small Emily. Maybe it's just that everyone I know already knows someone named Emily... and doesn't want his or her daughter to turn out like me.
