[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.

[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.

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>

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
"Edith" will forever be associated with Archie Bunker. Well, for the next few decades, anyway.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Name-wise, I'm leaning towards Olivia Rose. But I also like Lydia or Elizabeth for a first name, too.
So....we can talk about the gender of the Cashmere!sprog now?

Trust my rage
When my b. friend named her daughter Madison 9 years ago, neither of us had ever heard of it. Weird how that happens.

I hope things are looking better this morning, Teppy.
Now Cash has me earwormed on:
Lida Rose, I'm home again, Rose
Without a sweetheart to my name
Lida Rose, how everyone knows
That I am hoping you're the same
Despite that fact that it's my sister's name, I'm fond of Elizabeth. It's so versatile. You can be Liz, Eliza, Beth, Betty, Bess, Betsy or any of the multitude of nicknames created when one out of every six girls in England was named Elizabeth.

Both actual Ediths! It's a good, strong name!
(Okay, so it's an oatmeal sort of name. But still. Due for an upswing, damn it.)
