Influenza's equally-unlikely girl-twin to be named Cholera?

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.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Ooh! Favorite name and an excellent first-last match!
It is, and it goes well with Emmett's name, too. I get disconcerted by families that have some kids with really trendy names and some kids with more traditional names.

Because books.
I don't really have a restricted name zone
We couldn't do any names ending in an "ee" sound, because with our last name it's too singsong. Of course, I still have to deal with it, being an Amy.

This is one of the major reasons I didn't change my name.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Nora--hee. BF's chosen kids' names are Eucalyptus and Ocarina. Our children-never-to-be could be great friends and social outcasts together!

Well, both of our last names are vowel-heavy, so there is a lot of opportunity for illiteration. My initials are EAE and I have another girl name in mind for our fantasy child that would make her AEA -- I like the idea of how it balances out.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Tom would like to name our never-to-born children Influenza and Plague.
Mark Russell once did a comedy riff on what "genitalia" really sounds like. One of the options was, a woman's name. (Another was, IIRC, a type of pasta.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Our restricted zone is limited to names ending in "a," because they don't flow well with our last name. (I've been grandfathered in.)
Right now, our favored names all end in 'n'. Evelyn, Dylan, Simon. (Informal polls suggest that having 2 kids named Dylan and Simon would not cause them to hate us forever, though Evelyn might wonder why she's the only one without a classic rock name.)

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Our restricted zone was any name belonging to an aunt, uncle, or first cousin of the child (I think Dylan includes his first cousins as well, but I have too many), anything in the current top ten (I wanted to make an exception for Elizabeth, but Dylan wouldn't bite), any girl's name that was traditionally a boy's name or any boy's name showing signs of drifting that way (as the daughter of a Kelly and wife of a Dylan, I'm sensitive to that issue), and anything staring with Wil because IMO it sounds too stupid with our last name.
