We're still working on a plan, but so far it involves being sent to prison and becoming somebody's bitch.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I grew up with a girl just named Toni, because they were really really sure they were having a boy, and I guess they were going to name him Tony, not Anthony?

Heh. I have a girl cousin named Toni. Allegedly after Tondelayoh, but the rest of the family knows that my aunt had an affair with a guy named Tony while my uncle was at sea.

Punishingly Intricate

My mom was so sure she was having a boy (Nicholas) that she didn't pick out a girl's name for me. So she let the nurses pick (my dad worked at the hospital so the nurses were friends at least not strangers)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Why do I think the book is My Ann-toe-NEE-ya, when I think the name IRL is Ann-TOE-nee-ya?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Why do I think the book is My Ann-toe-NEE-ya

Because that's how it's pronounced in the book.

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

Because that's how it's pronounced in the book.

Is it spelled phonetically at some point?

I wasn't given a middle name when I was born. I had to ask for one for my 18th birthday.

Our wings are not tired.

Suzi! Was that cultural or just your parents being your parents?

A high school friend of mine has a brand new baby daughter (gawd I love Facebook!) and her name is Mia Leilani which I ADORE.

Compassionately intolerant

I went to school with a girl named Bobette. Guess what her dad's name was. I dare ya.

I've whinged at length about my historic experience of bonny, but I have to say, I'm enjoying it now.

It's funny how many of my peeps can't get past beej. S'okay with me, in a major way. It's a nice feeling, in either direction. Hey, somebody wants to address me? Don't really care what they call me!

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

I get that question all the time. The Bohemian ( and illogical!) pronunciation in the book is Ann-toe-NEE-ya. My name is pronounced Ann-TOE-nee-ya, which is the one true pronunciation!

Thanks for all the positive reinforcement guys, but I'm not used to it and it feels weird!

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Why do I think the book is My Ann-toe-NEE-ya, when I think the name IRL is Ann-TOE-nee-ya?

Because you're right.
