There is a boy called Nemo at my son Thor's birthday party right now. We've known about Nemo for a while -he's a grade below Thor and was his "math buddy" last year and is now in his class. But tonight it got better. Nemo informed me his sister is called Rocket (Rocky) for short -he was the one who named her. I think that's an awesome name (not sure about the abbreviation...)

I came across the name Shuwanugha (pronounced Schwanu) this year. It took me a semester to learn how to pronounce it correctly, but now it's one of my favourite names.

When school began this year, SonofV, "E", found that in three of his classes, there were other students also named "E". In one class, there were three of them. He and his friends have this cute habit. When they're playing HALO on Xbox, and a party starts, when then enter the party, they often say "Marco" as in "Marco!" "Polo!" indicating "I'm here!". In the third class described above, when SonofV was called, he was the third "E", being toward the end of the alphabet for surnames, and he replied "Marco!". The teacher looked up to see which face belonged to *this* "E" and carried on with the roll call. As he left the class, he looked at the teacher's seating chart and where his name was on the diagram, he saw "E" and (Marco) in parenthesis. Now he's Marco.

I just learnt this the other day:
Back in the thirties, my g-mother & g-father were sitting at the kitchen table when my g-father said "Quick, give me a pencil!" She did, and he wrote a word across the newspaper he was reading, and announced "This is what we'll name our first son." The word was 'Cosmorauder'. They didn't name their first son that. She says she still has the newspaper.

At my school, Harry and Alex(ander) are the most popular boys' names, followed closely by James and William.
Caitlin in various spellings (sorry, as a purist it still bugs me), Emily and Jessica for girls. Am happy say the names I assigned to my never-to-be-born are not common. I know only one Ruby, no Dorothys, no Felix, Oscars or Theodores and no Rose/ Rosemary/ Rosalynns. There is an Emilia known as Mimi though - which I think is delightful. |

A friend of ours says that there are two types of names for girls: Supreme Court Justice names and Stripper names. I'm sure I wrote about the somewhere. I vaguely remember monster saying her irl name is a borderline one.

You're gonna see more of them in the coming years; that's the name of a character in a very popular children's show.

Shawnee, you do have a stripper's name IRL.
Do you know how embarrassing it is to send cards to Flappy Cunt at Christmas? Monster - that's me pwned. But only in the new world. I'd have been okay here.
