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?
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?
'Shells'
Spike's Bitches 26: Damn right I'm impure!
[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 look more rad than Lutheranism

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.

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

Because books.
Hope you're feeling better this morning, Tep. It's not easy to have to be the strong one in the family all the time.
Both actual Ediths! It's a good, strong name!
Oh, I know. But Edith just sounds so stodgy and dated to me, while Edie is fun, and kind of quirky. At least in my head.

Mostly lurking...
I love the name Lavona (my grandma's name), but would never name a child that, as it just seems cruel.

Amazing are the ways of cats. I've been checking the old place a couple of times with no success. Hubby wanted to drive by last night, and I'm thinking, "Way to depress yourself, sweetheart."
Who was waiting in the driveway for us, but a tired fuzzy black cat? Yup, he made it back, and we found him.
I am utterly boggled. Almost three miles, major streets--I have no idea how he did it.
Unfortunately, he wants to do it again, because he immediately headed for the window he escaped from before, which is now closed. I'm hoping it dawns on his fuzzy brain that pets and hugs from Mommy and Daddy are better than the old neighborhood.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Mothers and fathers think I don't know anyone with that name
That's what I/we did for both Nick and Aidan. Nicholas was the most popular boy name the following year, and Aidan was number 2 in 2003, iirc.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
the additional cheese should be caffeinated
This is possibly the truest statement ever.
I love Olivia Rose. Then again, I also love Rose as a first name, and it is itself due for a comeback.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Edie Falco, Edie Sedgwick. It's a good name. Again, not so much with the Edith, though.
Also, Edie Brickell. And the Electronic Deposit Insurance Estimator (EDIE)
