Well, someone told me Julia was an old lady name. I just said, "You say 'old lady' like that's a bad thing.
Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.
'Ariel'
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.

Thrive to spite them
Mom was going to be Susan, except the woman across the street had a baby just a few months before Mom was born and named the girl Susan. My grandmother didn't want to have two Susans so close together. Then Susan and her family moved.
Several people tried to talk Mom out of my brother's first name. One uncle was dating a girl with the same name and Mom's sister had a dog with the same name. Mom told them the relationship might not last and the dog would die and when my brother was an adult no one would care about the dog or the girlfriend.
She's right.
I came close to being Michelle Leanne. I don't feel like a Michelle.
For a long time I resisted being called Ali, it rihymes with my last name and god I had enoug problems in school. However, I'm moving more toward Ali , especially with my invisible internet friends. I would do it more in my meatspace life, but then I forget.

Well, someone told me Julia was an old lady name.
Huh? I know a million Julias around my age, and not a single old lady one. (Though, this is also true of Emilys and Hannahs and Rachels and Lauras, all of which I've heard are supposedly old lady names.)

Huh.
My baby likes Paul Anka.
I'm not sure what to do with that information. Aside from make a note on her Christmas list that Rock Swings would not go unappreciated.

Emily's been the most popular baby name for four or five years, I think. Not that it can't be both. Just saying.

Per the Social Security site [link] it's been ranked in the 30s and 40s for popularity, since 1996. Prior to that, it was less common, except for back about a 100-150 years ago.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I was very nearly named "Carla," after my grandfather A. Carl. (The A was for "Adolph," but that got dropped right quick in the late 'thirties).
