My mind has been completely corrupted by fandom. I'm proofing a book with illustrations of the Wright Brothers, and one totally looks like Captain Jack and Ianto Jones in pre-WWI period dress rolling around in a meadow.
Where's the praising and extolling of my virtues? Where's the love?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Plus, growing up in Hawaii, it got shortened to "Nani" which I also really love. Just a good name all around.
Okay, we really, really have to nail down a date for a Lilo & Stitch viewing. Seriously.
Matilda is still nowhere to be seen in the top 1000, but, as Hec notes, a ridiculous number of people have told us it was their #2 name choice--and it sounds like there's a mini-boom of Buffista-adjacent Matildas happening, too. Nevertheless, having been named way back in '06, ours is still out there on the bleeding edge.
Antonia is a lovely name. So are Eleanor, Caridad, Annabel (I love SusanW's spelling choice), and Lillian. I lobbied hard for either Eleanor or my maternal grandmother's name, Memorie, but I'm perfectly happy with Matilda.
Yay megan walker cuteheadness! I'm sorry I missed the final unveiling due to collapsing in a puddle next to the fussaboo.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I was supposed to be named Jane. Apparently, after I was born, my mother decided I looked more like an Antonia. Weird.
My father's name was Otto, and he forbade my mother from naming anyone of us after him. My only brother was born just after my mother's father died, so he got his name instead, Joseph.

Ann, that's a ferret.
which, after a childhood rife with classmates calling me "Harmonica," I'm still not reconciled to
As a Fred who went through childhood when the Flintstones were in, I empathize. And with George for a middle name, I couldn't go the "cool middle name" route.

I think I love all the virtue names. Faith, Hope, Charity, etc. Although it's possible I'm not thinking of a key one or two.

Prudence? Also Grace, which is a nice name.
