My father was the youngest of six. Their first and middle names were: Harmon Woodrow, Claude Oppolous, Willie Martha Mae, Myrtle Dew, Henry Zebedee and Barcey Butler. My father always insisted his parents were forced to give him a name when he was two - they called him "Baby" - and his father was reading a western about the Bar-C Ranch.
Up until the punching, it was a real nice party.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ann Hazeltine
Outing myself as a sometimes lurker, Ann Haseltine was a big Baptist missionary, wife of Adoniram Judson. The camp I went to was named after them.

Hey, what's that wedding site that you can look up where someone is registered, if you don't know exactly where they are registered?

What is even happening?
I totally knew you lurked here.

Ancestors . . . I've got a Zorababbel, a couple of Bethia's, lots of Johns and Edwards and boring stuff. But I've also got an honest-to-god pirate, so I beat all of you. Jan Jansen van Harleem, AKA Murat Reis, Governor of the Fortress of (something Arabic).

Ann, that's a ferret.
I'll toss in my great-great-grandfather Storm Z. And a great-grandmother whose last name was Hubbard.

Oh, and I totally knew you lurked here.
I'm the mad lurker what lurks at midday. (When I should be doing other things.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Gabriel sounds nice, and I do like Gabriel Byrne.
However, during Emmett's tenure at the JCC there were roughly 93 Hundred Gabes, which I am not so fond of.
And you're also seeing other traditional E-names without the Em sound, like Eleanor
JZ has been pimping for Eleanor pretty hard. I checked the name thingie and it's not been popular for 60 years.
Oh, I love Alistair. I doubt I could ever talk Dylan into it
No, duh! This is the kind of name JZ is always trying to saddle our potential sprog with. I had to point out to her that she needs to let go of her tweedy Brit-boy love because a child named Alistair is going to get his ass kicked on the playground on a regular basis. It is an Invitation To Abuse name.
