And yet, it's not swaying me from choosing a very popular girls' name for the new baby, either.
Kiwi Fruit?
Spike: Lots of fuss over one girl. Other things to do around here--important things. Angel: You know that whoosh thing you do when you're suddenly not there anymore? I love that.
'Unleashed'
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.

pppfffttttbbbbb.
We're still swaying between Elizabeth and Olivia. Is alliterating Owen and Olivia too cheesy? I think it might be.
For the record, chilli cheese Pringles are fucking fantastic! They are the new crack of the chip world.

I don't think so. Olivia is a great name.

I probably shouldn't stress over the alliteration. Seeing how I'm a twin Lisa/Lori combo I've lived through worse. Even worse--our middle names being Faye/Kaye. I think my mother drank a lot.
It's like that damned McBroom childrens' book series where all the kids names come out in one line: willjillhesterchesterpeterpollytimtommarylarryandlittleclarinda. *shudder*

Olivia is beautiful.
It's only cheesy if you have third and fourth and fifth kids named Otto and Ophelia and Omar.

My real name is Virginia. I'm named for my mother who was named for her grandmother. I think one of y'all needs to take up the Virginia torch. It's a perfectly cromulent name. It's not particularly strange but it's never been very popular.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's unusual without having unfortunate connotations. I think of Ginger as more problematic.
It all depends where you're standing. I was teased about my name, so I see unfortunate connotations.
But I love it, so I don't care.

- shudder* At the thought of five kids, not the names.

I was called gingerbread a lot. Also, my middle name is Quinn, and I took a lot of "Quinn the Eskimo" ribbing. I suspect that no name is safe.

Kids are so cruel. That's pretty much a given. I knew a kid in grade school that could come up with a disgusting rhyme to match any given name. But he picked his nose a lot and didn't graduate high school so look where that got him.
