Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Sorry about the flakes, Corwood. That is a pretty bizarre reason for backing out.
I know my parents told me what my name would have been if I was a boy, but I'm not sure I remember. Michael? Andrew? I know I was confused as to why my younger sister's what-if-she-was-a-boy name was different from mine - they hadn't used mine, why not go back to it? Or why my name wasn't the name my brother would have if he'd been a girl (though I don't remember what that was, either
If I had been a boy, I would have probably been Daniel or Zachary.
Yeah, it does seem efficient to use the if-it-were-a-boy name the next time you have the opportunity, if you're going through all the choosing anyway.
Boo on that buyer, Corwood. Boo!
I am sure I have told y'all that I was going to be Louise until my brother intervened.
I would have been Adam if I were a boy.
I think my parents were surprised by all our genders (or at least, they didn't tell their existing children in advance - I was surprised by all three of my sibs).
Happy Birthday, GC!
Good luck, Theo!
May a plague of locusts descend on those clueless buyers' heads, Corwood.
Umm... that's all I've got-- copyediting has ated my brayne. But I'll be done with them today! Oh, frabjous day!
I would have been Adam if I were a boy.
What? Not Paul or Leto?
I would have been a Jeffrey, I think.
The U.S. Marines first used it a as a slogan during World War II, after general Evans Carlson adapted the Chinese kung ho, which means “work in harmony”. While the teamwork element of the definition has faded, the enthusiasm bit has certainly remained.
I'm wondering if it were maybe Cantonese or another dialect. The Mandarin would be 'gong he', I think. Close, but not quite Kung ho.
Meanwhile, you guys woke up chatty. Um, carry on. I'ma sleep now.
My mom was so sure I'd be a boy (Nicholas, I think) she didn't pick out a girl's name. So she let the nurses name me! (They were friends because my dad worked at the hospital at the time so it wasn't like strangers naming me but still.) I like my name but I often wished it was something more interesting.
