Compassionately intolerant

My favorite batches of sibling names are:

Patience, Lysara (whose written a cool book called Sexy Witch), Yolki (known on the Peace March by all and sundry as "Yolkithedevilchild) and Emmerice.

And, believe it or not, brothers named:

Mai, Kai Tai, and Rai. Each had a cool African middle name that I cannot recall. People were so transfixed by their beauty...incredible eyes...that no one ever really gave them a hard time about the rhyming.

Favorite older men's names: Norfleet and Marion. You called them Ned and Ted, respectively...if you wanted to live. Ted, especially, seeing as how he was a Texas Ranger.

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 Antonia, too! Toni is just adorable.

“Not dead yet!”

My mother had a thing for that name, apparently. Maria is the oldest of the three of us, but when the Prince of Darkness came around, she named him Antonio Rudolfo.

Not that it mattered. He's still the Prince of Darkness as far as Maria and I are concerned.

Then there's me, with Barbara Caridad, which always made the first day of school heap big fun.

Our wings are not tired.

The best thing my biological mother ever did for me was name me. I like both of my names (Nanita Danielle) and while I've never had to endure there being another "Nanita", it's not hard to say and it's spelled just like it sounds. Plus, growing up in Hawaii, it got shortened to "Nani" which I also really love. Just a good name all around. The loathe loathe loathe being called "Nan" (with the "a" pronounced as the "a" in "Sam") and won't answer to it.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Said in Spanish, it flows really beautifully

The only other Antonias I've actually met were Hispanic.

Toni is just adorable.

The name, maybe. I, alas, am not.

I think "Caridad" is absolutely beautiful. I love the way it rolls of the tongue.

I have 5 sisters and 3 of them have Mary as a middle name. Yes, we were Catholic.

Punishingly Intricate

My mom has two sisters with Mary as a first name. We used to give my grandmom shit about that. In a loving way! I know it's because she loved the BVM!
