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.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
(I am unsurprised that I am one with Cass in that.)We've similar taste in yummy, it's true.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
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.)

How the hell can Brooklyn be the #43 girl's name?
JZ is right that people get excited when they hear Matilda's name. I don't know if that means she'll always be a quaint novelty or that we're on the bleeding edge of girl baby naming.
We've actually run into a (very small) number of Emmetts around the Bay Area. Often by repute. "Oh, I know a kid named Emmett." But it's (I think) in a class of names that's popular around here being vaguely Irish/Scottish. That whole batch of Duncan/Connor names.
