Ooh, names. My current favorite name is Violet.
They should film that story and show it every Christmas.

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 know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Not sure what we'd name another girl, since our second choice for Annabel was Eleanor, and I think AnnabEL and ELeanor would sound silly and singsong as sister names. I like Harriet, but I'm afraid it might sound too frumpy alongside Annabel.

If I only had a brain...
Sounds like cause and effect.Yeah, but EEP came first.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
In the ancestors-with-funny-names contest, I win.
I'd like to submit my entry. I'm descended from Brizella and Elkanah and Herschel and Hyman and Lascelles and Phelon and Wendel and Zephie. I'm related to Nonaine and Shanga and Bonica and Gilette and Disdale and Hughgine and Kadeed and Kermit and Kiesha and Wentworth and Leston and Naisha and Querida and Shamari and Sheree and others.
I think I have a shot at second place, and I'm willing to submit middle names to back that up.

I also like Fiona, but our neighbors have one (which wouldn't necessarily rule it out, of course), and I love Maria and Miriam, but I don't think Dylan does.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
I've always liked Chloe. If I had a baby girl (yeah, right) I'd name her Chloe.

While I think ita wins, I think I can get honorable mention for my great-great-grandfather, Colonel Maneus Lemley F. (Colonel was a name, not a rank), and my great-grandmother, Ann Hazeltine C.

Ooh--I forgot about my great-grandfather, who was Thomas Junior S., as opposed to Thomas S. Jr.

Because books.
My Mildred grandmother is "Mildred Alphonse" and we have Crowther as a male middle name on my dad's side, but I think that's as exotic as we get.
My mom, though, was reading a lot of Victoria Holt (I think) when she was pregnant with me, and was seriously considering naming me Laura Mai-Lon. (We're of completely Irish, British, and Scottish descent.)
