Willow ,'Beneath You'
[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.
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.
Yup. Flower names were big for a while, as well as stones (Pearl, Ruby), and Irish surnames were huge in the '80s and early '90s, I think. Names are fascinating.
Alice and Phyllis. Rhymey, and yet they were born on different continents.
My two grandmothers were/are Mary and Mary.
You Mick.
My grandmothers names were Vincenza (but everyone called her Jean once she came to this country) and Dorothy.
My grandmothers names were Vincenza (but everyone called her Jean once she came to this country)Oh, that's kind of sad. Was it her choice?
Try the baby name wizard, sj.
Boy names don't seem as subject to fashion as girl names, but it looks like the "boy names must start with J" thing is ebbing.
There are a number of websites that track the popularity of names, but the only ones I really trust are the census sites, which are a few years behind.
Huh. Perla is now #359. I've never even heard that name.
I hope things are looking better this morning, Teppy.
Well, I'm super-tired, but that's been par for the course all week. I think I need to call my doctor and get an Rx for Ambien (it ran out a couple of months ago, and I just didn't bother to refill it, b/c I *thought* I was sleeping better -- but apparently I need backup).
My grandmothers were Vada and Edith. I've never been sure where Vada comes from.
