Spike's Bitches 24: I'm Very Seldom Naughty.
[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.

Interesting how the Buffy spike is completely unrelated to the show.
Note the show related Xander and Willow surge though.

Hey. New board.
I know. that's why I was so confused about the lack of Buffy surge.
Though I guess it is a name that seems designed to be mocked.
Willow is a much prettier name.

Because books.
Weird -- Sara (sans H) has always been more popular than Sarah. I would have bet money it was the other way around.
Yeah, Amy? Totally unique. Noone named "Amy" at all in my day.
I feel your pain. Although we seem to be pretty unpopular now.

I can't get the baby name thingie to load on my computer. Will someone tell me what it says for "Jillian"?

I know very few Valeries. I like it that way.

I wonder what prompted other parents to pick that name. I'm pretty sure reading Stranger in a Strange Land and changing the spelling to avoid being called Gilly (with a hard 'g') is not the route most parents took.

Ann, that's a ferret.
"Frederick" peaked in the early 1900s (or for all I know, the late 1800s), and has been on a slow decline since then.
Which means I've been retro since birth.
