Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

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.

“Not dead yet!”

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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

My sister's husband's last name is Jaymes.

We have informed them that, regardless of actual name of even gender, we will be calling any kid they produce "Jimmy."

News Radio was just that cool.

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

Grandmothers were Joanne (Joey), Fay (mom's real mom - died young), and Montine (mom's stepmom). Grandfathers were Charles Kennedy (CK) and William Ollie. I am Joanne Montine (Monti). Hate the name Joanne and have been Monti from birth.
