Buffy ,'Touched'
[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 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.
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.
Don't let them fool ya. The "J" names have banded together, and assimilated under Jack. Once it takes over TV entirely, can the US be far behind?

Poor "Fern" has dropped off the charts altogether.

There was also Edyth and Edythe. Huh.
Oh, that's kind of sad. Was it her choice?
I think so. There is no female equivalent of Vincent in the US (that I know of), and she didn't really like being tortured by the other school children, so she tried to Americanize it. Her Italian-American friends made it ethnic sounding again by calling her Jeanna.
This summer, I met a five-year-old named Dorothea, called Dorrie. I thought that was cute as a kids name and would be kind of neat as an adult if she wanted to use Dorothea, but didn't really leave an in-between option, between cute and formal. (Dora, maybe.)
sj, social security tracks baby names here.
I had thought Olivia might be topping out in popularity, but I just really like it. I also like Sophia and Isobel but Olivia flows well with Owen.
I'm thinking of how well they go together when you're yelling, "OWEN CHRISTOPHER AND OLIVIA ROSE STOP THAT RIGHT NOW!"
Huh, I never realized that Isabella was a variant of Elizabeth, but according to one of the baby name sites it is.

We were this close to naming Mallory Jack or Jackson, but a) thought it sounded weird with James and b) suddenly realized that every other male baby was getting named Jack.
Except for one Linus.
Names I talked Robert out of include Alastair (Alice is not a boy's name, Cooper nonwithstanding) and Atticus. Names he talked me out of include Callum and Thaddeus.
