Snyder ,'Chosen'
[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.
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.

Ooh, I could send her this.

Emily's been the most popular baby name for four or five years, I think. Not that it can't be both. Just saying.
Oh, I love it when they show their love for music. What's she doing, Plei?

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.
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).
I like my weird boy name.
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.
OK, I won't tell on you. then.
I was gonna, too! And then Tom would have cried and cried and cried.

My German-immigrant neighbor when I was a kid had his name legally changed from Adolf Rudolph to Rudolph Adolf in the late '30s.
One of the PE teachers in middle school was named Adolph. I can't remember his last name, we only ever called him Coach Last Name, but somewhere I saw his name was Adolph.
I thiought it was a very unfortunate choice for him.
I was asleep and very happy and then my download finished and started and startled me awake. I hurt my thumb somehow in the waking up process. Since I was awake I watched part of the download and now I'm not sleepy.
