A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

My friend is dating a Kip.

My name was utterly outre in the late 70's in my part of the country, and to this day, I meet people who can't wrap their mind around the Erin/Aaron difference. I was put into boys gym classes and things like that, based on my name, until the 7th grade.

I didn't like my name as a child, but then it started to get more popular and I became very proprietary.

Also? There are at least 2 more Erin Elizabeth LAstNAmes in the US. One was Miss New Mexico, and the other is a chemist. It cracks me up.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Is Esme pronounced S-may or Ez-may, or both? Either way, I like it.

I tend to say Ez-may, though I think it was supposed to be Ez-mee.

Marguerite

My beloved middle name. It was the name of good friend of my mom's from the LWV. That Marguerite was French, and probably in her sixties/seventies at the time.

I had an Aunt Marguerite. And my grandmas were a Hazel and an Agnes. Grandpas were Clark and Clarence. I would have been Clark if I would have been a boy.

Heh. There's another Matilda Azalea in the world. Some woman contacted me on LJ after I announced her birth. Low odds.

“Not dead yet!”

My grandma was Tarsilia. That one was never considered. Love my abuela, but... no.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I went through a time wanting to name a boy Rhys. But the whole "how do you pronounce that" issue made me keep looking. I spent too much time growning up answering to Suzi Ummmmmmmmmmm, as people would get stuck on my last name.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

There is not anyone else with my same first/last name combination. I've done a bunch of genealogy research, and as far as I've ever been able to tell, everybody with the same last name as me is related. And I know the names of just about all of them.

hip deep in pie

I had a second cousin with the same name, but different middle name. But then she changed her name when she got married.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

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

One of my college roommates is a Buffy. It's not a nickname (apparently common for Elizabeth [?]); like the vampire slayer, college!Buffy is a birth Buffy. t edit I meant to say -- she's the only Buffy I've ever met.

And Buffy recently had daughter #2, named...

Lily. (The birth announcement said Lily, not Lillian or any other spelling.)

Chatty!co-worker has an uncle named Voyd. Hand to god.
