Hello, new Natter!!
I always assumed I would use names that are the same in French and English. For girls it's easy, for boys, not so much.
I knew someone who was looking for a name that worked in English and Spanish, and she was considering Michaela for a girl. Except she doesn't like "muh-KAY-la," only "mee-ka-e-la." I was like, dude. That will NEVER work in English. Luckily, she had a boy named Camilo, which works well enough in English.

How about Noahcam?
Please? Especially when he's playing chase! He's so darned cute when he peers around to see if you are following. And then when he tears off!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
I think Noah and Dylan have been emailing again - Dylan pooped in the tub tonight. TWICE. (He pooped, we got him out, cleaned up, ran a new bath, put him back in, and MORE POOP. After about 15 minutes of running around the apartment naked NOT POOPING. Kids! WTF?)

My parents were Evelyn Jane and Wilbur Otto, FWIW.
It seems unpossible that 'Evelyn' might go on to be a popular name. My mom's parents were Sadie and Sidney, which I think would make good names for twin girls, or a pair of cats.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Back from the hairdressers and a sushi dinner to find a new Natter.

Evelyn is totally back!

Merry Christmas, Cash!
My grandmother was Mary Edith, otherwise known as Peg. I can kinda see that from Margaret, but not Mary Edith. My grandfather and father are Dornis. Grandpa was always known as such and dad goes by Bud. Where the Dornis comes from, though, no one really knows. My great-great-grandfather was Quebecois, so we think it's some obscure French name, or bastardization thereof. I mean, great-grandpa was Eber, and I can only guess if that's another phonetic spelling for something French.

My family tree, once you go back about 200 years, is like a study in Silly Bible Names. Not only are there plenty of people named Increase and such, but the names often show up multiple times in the same family. One child would die, so they would name the next one after him or her. It's creepy and terribly sad at the same time.
It does amuse me at times to think about what they would make of me, their agnostic, feminist, bisexual many-times-great-granddaughter. I don't think "going to hell" even begins to cover it.
