I think Ingrid is a pretty name. Enid? Not so much.
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

Because books.

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.

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

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>

It looks to be on the upswing. It's only in the 500s, but considering it just got back in the top 1000 in '98 or so, that's quite the upswing.
I'd have considered it, as it was Gram's middle name and I like it better than Aileen, but I had a Cabbage Patch Kid named Violet.
