I had no idea that Americans didn't know Frances is a girl's name
I think it's partly a generational thing, too. I know the difference, and I'm sure I learned things like that from my parents somehow, who were both born in the late '20s in America.
I have got to get me some bacon salt. Stat. (I am unsurprised that I am one with Cass in that.)
ETA: And with that, I'm for bed. G'night.
You know what's good in a totally bad way? Lightly toasted bread with unsalted butter and a sprinkle of bacon salt.
Oooooh. That sounds really really good. Dear self, you aren't hungry. No really, you're not. You just had dinner about an hour ago, so you don't need bacon salt toast.
My gram's name is Frances, Burrell, so it makes me think happy thoughts.
Gram named my mom Eunice. Mom says could have been worse--Gram originally wanted to name her Wanda Hope. So not kidding.
Also, I think I'm getting a cold. Feh.
(I am unsurprised that I am one with Cass in that.)
We've similar taste in yummy, it's true.
I'm with Jilli, that toast sounds good in a good sort of way, but I love a sprinkle of salt on bread & unsalted butter. For reasons I don't know and probably don't need explained it tastes way better than using salted butter in the first place.
The one odd thing about the name Frances is it had a brief resurgence in some circles in the 90s when Courtney Love named her daughter Frances Bean. So when Franny does meet another random Frances, she's usually about 9 or 10 or so and hence she earns great reverence from my daughter.
Jilli, did Clovis have something to do with this?
I had no idea that Ava was at all a unisex name.
(My other niece's name is not in the top 100: Maya. Unless I missed it.)
Jilli, did Clovis have something to do with this?
Hee! No, but he approves.
