Well, sonofabitch

Fallin, I am a y name spelled with ee.  I'm completely conditioned to say my name and immediately spell it out for people (that is, in situations where they need it spelled out- not in regular conversation or introducing myself to someone, because that would be weird)

wingedbride

I don't like names that are too recognizable as a famous person or thing.

My cousin named her daughter Emilee to honor our deceased grandmother, her deceased mother and my dad, all of whom shared the middle name Lee.  I'm sympathetic to messed up spelling if there is a reason and not just an attempt to make Maree youneek. Is your name Shanolly?

CaliopeSpidrman

My name is B-E-N.  I spell it Ben.

wingedbride

I know shamwow's whole name. It sounds like she would be a movie star.

shanollee

to honor our deceased grandmother, her deceased mother and my dad, all of whom shared the middle name LeeThat is EXACTLY why mine is spelled that way! My mom and my grandma both have the middle name Lee, but my mom also wanted to name me after a family friend so that name became my middle name and Lee got put on the end of the spelling of my name.  Not Shanolly, though, Holly.

I actually wanted to name the kid Lee for a while after Lee Adama from Battlestar Galactica.  I'm totally serious about this too.  H vetoed my idea.  He also vetoed Starbuck.  He sucks.

I saw the best name EVER yesterday: Arcangel. As a first name. My FIL's legal name is Arcangelo. He goes by Angelo. This is also my husband's middle name. I have a cousin and an Uncle with the legal name John the Baptist. I think it's an Italian thing to give your kids names based on the holy day that you were born on (i.e. born on the feast day of John the Baptist). I was very close to being named Asunta Immaculante...yeah, dodged a bullet there.

wingedbride

wow

This is my son Groundhog Day and his sister Flag Day.

I am going through old emails as part of our audit. I forgot all about good old Zoltan.

I'm Italian.  That is why Andy's full name is Andrew of the Democratic National Convention.  That was a holy day (week) around these parts.

Sweet, dlpndoc, did you just ovulate?! I see you're on Day 17 of your cycle, congrats!

wingedbride

well pdx, if you click and look at her charts, it appears she has a very long cycle pattern interspersed with lots of cervical CM.

Sweet Baby Jesus, I thought I had a long cycle.

noisy_penguin

I'm a little concerned that the hat traveling to the treasure box has a skull & crossbones on it. I don't think I want to put anything with a skull & crossbones on it into my treasure box.

buddhagouda

NP, I'm pretty sure your treasure box of steel could handle anything.

noisy_penguin

It's true. My vagina is a venus fly trap of steel.

shanollee

I think it just means her baby will be a pirate.  Yaarrr matey

That pegleg is gonna hurt coming out. Not to mention the parrot.

noisy_penguin

PG, you're going to have issues with your babycorn horn.

PDXPhotoGrl

Don't think I don't already have a new siggy planned after my sonogram next week.

CaliopeSpidrman

I've heard the horn doesn't harden until they're about 3-6 months old, so hopefully she'll be okay.  But you're going to want to use a dowel to make sure it ends up straight.

shanollee

that just gave me a very entertaining mental image
