I think Iva's a good name. Not one I'm likely to use, but there you go.
My grandmothers were named Mary and Diana. Some of the most normal names in the family, really, and least obviously trended or dated.
You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yay for Shadow's return!

Because books.
I like Irene, which is my mom's middle name. I think that could see a comeback.
The first Madison I met is also nine, and there are a lot of them, now.
See, I date this back to Splash.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Yay for returning kitties!!
ION, Z has been nannying in his spare time for various theater friends. Today was his first day with another set of friends' daughter who is 14 months old, and she is apparently laying on her back in the middle of the living room, sighing theatrically and not wanting to have anything to do with him. She's perfectly fine, she just wants to be alone. I'm threatening to buy her a black dress on my lunch break. So. Cute.

My old cat is very happy to have his partner in naps back. Now Hubby is convinced that Shadow loves me more than him, because Shadow guts my hand more enthusiastically when we play Mr. Sock (hand inside two socks, rub the cat belly until retaliation).

Ann, that's a ferret.
Yay for finding Shadow!
Our niece had (maybe still has) an imaginary playmate named Madison. Madison is an extremely naughty girl, who seems to do all sorts of mischief that the niece gets blamed for.

So glad the kitty found you guys, connie!
My grandmothers were Ethel and Winter Valley. You'd think I'm awfully old to have a hippie grandma, but she was Native American.
Mal's middle name is his grandfathers' though - both are/were James.
The DH is very very sick, and home today. I was trying to keep him away from the baby, but now I'm getting sick also. We've been able to watch some TV, though, which we normally don't have time to do. Put in Stargate, discovered that Mal reacts to tense situations on TV. So we broke out the Wonderfalls. I'd bought it for Robert as a gift, and he'd done the same, and then we'd returned one copy, but we'd been saving it.

What is even happening?
Looking at the early twentieth century, it seemed to be r, th, l, dis, and dith that were popular sounds for girls names -- Gladys, Edith,There are all sorts of trends. Bible names. My grandmother and her sister were named Myrtle and Hazel--plant names. Beryl is a stone. Sometimes, I think a certain ethnicity influences the trend. The Hulda/Thelma names are German, aren't they? Gladys and Enid are Welsh. The Kathleen/Julia/Aileen/Eileen/Maureen names were favored by Irish Americans.
The first Madison I met is also nine, and there are a lot of them, now.
See, I date this back to Splash.
I was thinking Moonlighting, but I bet you're right.

Bernice and Florence, here. Which strike me as so perfectly early 20th century.
