'Objects In Space'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
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.
Voyd? Seriously?
My grandmothers' names are Iva and Mildred. There was no way I was going there. But I do think Ivy is pretty.
Voyd? Seriously?
Swear to god. Apparently all the uncles on that side are V names; less-common ones, too, like Varne. And Virgil.
And good old Voyd.
My grandmothers' names were Alice and Mary. If I had had a girl, I wouldn't have minded calling her Alicia Marie after them.
Grandfathers were Ambrose and Bror, which would have been...interesting to use.
Man, when Virgil starts sounding melodic...
I had a neighbor who's first and middle names were Virgil Caine. I was always earwormed when I checked the mail.
My DH went to college with a woman named Lasagna. She was a twin, and her sister had something very normal like Laura (but not Laura - I can't remember).
My grandmothers were Maud and Eleanor. My sister used Eleanor for one of her daughters, and Maud wasn't a nice person, so those names aren't in consideration for us. My grandfathers were Harry and Robert, and my uncle/cousins have the Robert thing covered.
Grandmothers' names were Louise and Ella. I love the name Ella, but, well, Grandma Ella was not someone you'd want to name another human for, so... no Ellas in following generations. Grandma Louise was a lovely, awesome human. My sister's middle name is Louise.
I have the day off. Yay!
I meant to say -- she's the only Buffy I've ever met.
There's only one in all the world at any one time.
My uncle used Grandpa's name for his son's middle name (Robert Bror), so that was covered. On the other side, I don't believe anyone used Ambrose for a middle name.
