So I encourage the Emmettization of America.
Tuxes for everyone!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Plei's Lillian seems particularly Lillianesque to me. It suits her very well.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."
I like my name. Unusual enough, but not freaky.

He would totally run on that platform. And I'm sure he could get the endorsement of Marlene Dietrich and Fred Astaire and Sean Connery.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
I like Dana, too. I think Dana Katherine Scully is my association (sigh...).

I associate "Adele" with Adele Astaire, Fred's sister and first dance partner.
My great-grandmother's name was Alida, which I think is beautiful and a name that should be brought back to popularity.
JZ's cousin just had a baby, and used "Emmett" as the middle name because she liked Emmett's name.
When my sister was 20, she was a bridesmaid at a high school friend's wedding. The ringbearer was named Kip, which happens to be my brother's name. When Kris pointed that out to the boy's mother, it turned out that her husband had been classmates with my brother and even though they weren't close, he still liked Kip's name well enough to use it for his son!

Ann, that's a ferret.
Unfortunately, I had an Emmett for a college roommate. He was kind of a jerk. No, he was a pretty complete jerk.
And I see Frederick continues to slide down the lists.

"Old-fashioned" sounding girls' names are very in right now, so a comeback for Susan wouldn't surprise me at all.
I'd lay odds against Virginia. Want unique? Give them my name.

I work with a Kip. Only one I have ever met.

Friends of mine are due in Feb and are having a boy. The guy said absolutely no biblical names, making naming the child difficult. They first settled on Lester (even after "the molester" was pointed out to them), and then switched to Harvey. So there is about to be a newborn Harvey. That just amuses the hell out of me. I know Harvey will be kick ass, though, so it won't matter.
