Buffy ,'Never Leave Me'
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 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.
JZ's RenFaire name is Prudence Cobblepot. A combination of my grandmother's name and The Penguin's last name (in some continuities, anyway).
Actually, it's Repentance Cobblepot.
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.
Is there something I don't want to know about the Wright Brothers?
I love Honor and thought it was sweet that Jessica Alba named her baby that.
WRT Esme.... There are gonna be so many Esmes and Bellas in the nearish future. Shudder.
One of the craft blogs I read, in fact, has two cats, Esme and Bella. I couldn't stomach reading it after I realized how CRAZY this woman was about Twilight.
I have a new list. It's called Things not to see when it hurts to laugh.
First thing on the list: The cat getting a role of tape attached to the end of its tail and running through the apartment in a panic trying to get away from the tape.
Captain Jack and Ianto Jones in pre-WWI period dress rolling around in a meadow.
Mmm.
What? Were you saying something?
That reminds me. My ljArchive foray turned up a fandom song I wrote for Ianto and chickened out of posting. Ima post it over there now.
Repentance is fabulous, in that wacky Puritan name way. On the male side, when was the last time anyone named a kid "Increase"?
I remember a Russell who did that, but not Emmett. It was night, the road was closed for repairs, Russell decided to walk down it anyway.
Oh, right, it was Russell. It's those doubled letters that confused me.
Temperence!
I have a "Temperance Baker" way back in my family tree. 1700s New England. Presumably she wouldn't have been one for making rum cakes, but given my family's history of drunks the name may well have turned out Little John-ish.
Basically drank himself out of school.
We had a Myron who did that.
David, you chose the one name mentioned today that I'd take as a super sekrit coolio middle name. I love the sound of Esme...and I've never read a word of Twilight.
I love Honor as well.
In the personal mission statement worksheet I passed out a couple of weeks ago, one of the elements is choosing words that, if necessary, you would be comfortable substituting for your actual name.
In a case like that, my alternate universe name would be True. (Sans the evil-AU manchu, ftr.)
