We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

[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.

Because books.

Timelies, with a side of gronk. It's Friday, right?

Olivia's a lovely name. And Olivia Rose moreso.

Happy vacation, ita.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Is that what happens? Mothers and fathers think I don't know anyone with that name...and lo...kindergartens are full of independently named kids?

Seems like.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Gooooooood morning.

Tep, I hope your uncle feels better. Beth, I hope J feels better.

Olivia Rose is a v. pretty name. I'm all in favor of Olivia and Viola, just because of Twelfth Night.

Enid would have to have risen above uncommon for it to be considered a comeback. It reached the 500s sometime early to mid 20th century, but that's as good as it got. It should combine forces with Ingrid.

I liked Annika as a name, but by the time we were considering it, we were pretty settled on Lillian.

What is even happening?

I think Ingrid is a pretty name. Enid? Not so much.

My grandmothers are named Iva and Mildred. Can't seen either of those names making a comeback, either.

Mostly lurking...

Olivia Rose would be such a lovely name. I totally approve. Not that you need my approval...

I am connected to the network at school. Of course, not through wireless, which I was hoping, but through the ethernet cable. Oh, well. As long as I can get a table with the connection pole next to it, I'll be fine. I get here early enough that that shouldn't usually be a problem.

Now to get some work done...

Ha! Work! What's that?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I think Ingrid is a pretty name. Enid? Not so much.

I'm telling my mom!

(who's named 'Enid.')

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

There was a chapter in Freakonomics on this.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

[Olivia] was in the top ten for 2004.

Huh. Shows what I know. Is Violet making a comeback, too? I always thought that was a pretty, and underused, floral name.
