It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

[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.

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.

Because books.

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'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

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?

There was a chapter in Freakonomics on this.

[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.

I like the name Iva.

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

Mine were Aileen and Edith. I think Edith (which shortens to Edie) is due for a comeback.

Because books.

I like Ivy, sort of, but not so much Iva.

I think Edith (which shortens to Edie) is due for a comeback.

I love the name Edie. Edie Falco, Edie Sedgwick. It's a good name. Again, not so much with the Edith, though.

My grandmothers were Hulda Mae and Eda Marie. I don't expect to hear a lot of, "Hulda, get back here!" in the supermarket any time soon.

Grandma Eda's mother was named Henrika. She was quite put out that my parents didn't name me Henrika. <clings to the name "Heather Rae" and vows to never let it go>
