Bitch. I have a cousin named Thomas. Well, technically, I only have him on the family tree. He drowned when my mother was first pregnant with me.
Saffron: I'll die. Mal: Well, as a courtesy, you might start getting busy on that, 'cause all this chatter ain't doin' me any kindness.
'Trash'
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.

PS, lest any Toms feel dissed, I got over my issues (which are totally related to how freakin' many there are in my family, and shit, I was forgetting all about my cousin Tom in that count--no, really, there's a fuck of a lot of Toms), and the Chosen Boy Name that doomed us to having a girl per the ultrasound tech was Gabriel Thomas.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That's hilarious.
It was all Eunice Shriver's fault. Imagine my obnoxious 14 y.o. self saying, "Eunice! What a shriveled up old lady name. What a prune sucking name." as Mrs. Mateau's left eyebrow got higher and higher on her forehead.
Once when I was sleepy, I mentioned that I really wasn't fond of the name Thomas, which is sprinkled liberally throughout all branches of my family tree (there's like, ten or eleven of them last count)... to a friend/semi-family member named Tom. Short for...
My friend Brad came up to before Prom and said, "Did you hear about the girl in our class who did a wet t-shirt contest in Key West?" [nudge nudge wink wink]
Me: "That would be my date."

Always Anti-fascist!
I like Eunice Shriver, but I'd never name anyone that.

Mrs. Mateau (who was actually a relatively young and attractive woman) explained that it sounded prettier in her native Spanish.

Probably so.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Eunice is my middle name. Growing up, it embarrassed me, though I couldn't say I hated it, as it was my grandmother's name. Now I think it at least has the virtue of being distinctive, unlike Susan, which is boring, frumpy, and sounds 20 years older than I am.

Eunice is my middle name.
Sorry!
I'm never talking about names again.
I apologize to all the Eunices and Alistairs in the world.

Silence means security silence means approval
I still think my middle name is worse.
I'll see you at the game, dear.

Don't worry about it--did you see my edit? I got picked on for it as a child (over the Carol Burnett character), so it's not like it surprises me that it's a tease-target name.
Someday, when I'm published, I'll get to be a Susannah. So much less frumpy than Susan.
