Xyla and Jynx? What are they, scrabble nerds who want the most points?
That's insane troll logic!

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
meara, Since Tom didn't answer, I decided to interpret his question as a suggestion for fuzzy slippers. Of which there are approximately 4 gozillion pairs on Amazon. Favorite color? Favorite animal (yes, bt, there are penguins). These [link] made me smile, though might not be the vibe you're going for. Or these are fun: [link] Wizard of Oz casuals? [link] Or does she have a fandom? If it were me, one of the big pillow Tardises or the stuffed Capt America or fleece blanket would make me smile and feel long-distance huggish. [link] [link] [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I know, right? But Jynx now just means adorable little girl, so I expect Xyla will quickly do the same.

Oh, here's my favorite current name story: My cousin's baby is half Haitian, and her name is Solange. Apparently many, MANY Haitian women have told her how ugly that name is and how she should check with them next time. ("Such an ugly name for such a pretty girl!") I guess it's like the Hortense or whatever of Haiti -- not just an old lady name, but an unattractive old lady name!

Hah! Oh, that's pretty funny (but kind of sad. but mostly funny!)
I feel like slippers are a slightly weird (warm) gift in August, but I may have to get one of those Dr. Who things for my old roommate, whose birthday is in a couple weeks...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks, guys. I'm apparently scheduled for another interview on Friday for a company I don't remember applying for, and and I'm trying to subtly find out more about it--no dice.

That happened to me a bunch of times, ita. Including, I think, my current company.
