If I were in charge of the monarchy, I would retire some names based on the incompetence, unpleasantness or sheer unluckiness of previous monarchs with that name.
I've heard that given as a reason why there has only been one King John.
I get confused. I remember everything. I remember too much, and... some of it's made up, and... some of it can't be quantified, and... there's secrets.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
There it is!
It would take awesome fierce and determination (all good things in a monarch) to name a child Ethelred. Or Ethelreda. C'mooonnn, baby E!

I think Michael has Catholic connotations, but I am most likely way off on my reasoning.

I opened up my LJ for the first time in yonks to start up a list of things I have to sell at my house that I haven't got around to selling, because I AM FREAKING out about almost depleting my savings.
