Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The Baby Name Voyager is SSN data in pretty format, right? I love that thing!

Yes. SO FUN! Except it crashes my work computer, and it isn't easy to see broken down by year, but only by decade. It's here [link] and her blog is great.

Ann, that's a ferret.
My first name was number 483 in 2006. And falling fast.
Strange but true -- until about 1950, the obvious nickname (Fred) was more popular than the full name (Frederick).

Trust my rage
I always enjoy flea's cataloging of baby names. I feel like you have so much potential when you chose a baby's name.
We are planning on Francisco for this baby - currently 157, I think. It's weird - here in PR it's like naming your baby Steve or John, but among our friends/family, it's fairly unusual. Still, it's growing on me. Probably will call him Frisco.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Top 5 things I saw in America which, as a Canadian, freaked me right out
I just had to quote this one:
#4: A breakfast creation in upstate New York called “Stuffed French Toast”. What does “Stuffed French Toast” entail, you naïve non-American might ask? It’s French Toast (which, keep in mind is cooked in butter) stuffed with bacon, eggs and processed cheese (which they proudly call ‘American processed cheese’, I presume, to distinguish it from real cheese which could, after all, be French and/or offer unAmerican nutritional content). But here’s the kicker: on top of your “Stuffed French Toast” cooked in butter, you will find… a square of butter.

I got a Pottery Barn catalog yesterday and was looking at the monograms they have in the pictures. They included Kasey and Casey, and Malaki (!!) (as well as lots of Luke, Sophie, generally popular preppy-type names).

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I love Francisco. And I like the pairing with Ellie, too -- so important, and so often overlooked!

Shit's all sorts of different now.
