I Enjoy Being A Girl — Page 18

That is cute!!

I love the name Henry, too.

I like sort of unique names for girls and more traditional names for boys, I've decided.

I'm with lusciouslace. Boys can cope pretty well being the fifth James in their class, but girls can pull off something a little more unusual with minimal teasing (another reason to love being a girl!), so I'with traditional for a boy and a little more glam for a girl.

My best names (which are the names I have saved for the dogs I aspire to have when I have the time, space, and money to have dogs, but as they are my best names, I would probably give them to children if any of those happened XD) are Arthur and Henry. I have a king-theme when it comes to boys' names. XD As for girls, the only name I especially like these days is Hero, and I don't think it's as easy to pull it off these days as it was in ancient Greek/Elizabethan times. Although I'm beginning to lean towards Hermia, despite my hatred for A Midsummer Night's Dream, which is cute and unusual enough without being too difficult for anyone to cope with. :3

My sister's daughter is called Elise, which is a lovely name, only slightly unusual. The problem is she goes by Ellie, which is one of the most absurdly popular names for girls in recent years.

Actually, there's an amusing reversal going on. You know how tourist attractions sell pens and mugs and all sorts with people's names on? In the UK, you can find tons of stuff with Ellie on it, but I've never once found an Ellie pen on my few trips to the US. Whereas my name doesn't turn up on these things in the UK, but you find it all over the place in the US. XD I think most people of my name in the UK are probably ladies in their 50s. It sounds like a "ladies in their 50s" name to me. But at least I'm the only one in a group at any given time (as long as I'm not hanging out with middle-aged ladies XD). :3

Woo, that went waffly! Just chalk it up to me being another one of those people who totally digs baby naming books.

I like the names Violet, Josephine, and Lucy for girls ("Joey" for short for Josephine.) For boys, I like Calvin, Julian, and Robinson.

My name is really, really popular, and it's never been a name that I liked very much, and my mother claims she thought it was 'unusual' when she picked it.

Hey, I wrote a story when I was younger where the main character had four kids named Antoinette, Danielle, Charlotte, and Josephine, and they went by Tony, Danny, Charlie, and Joey The dad initially tried to name the youngest one "Tyrone, Jr..."

I also love the name Jordan for a boy, but the problem is that it's popular for girls as well... there's a kid in my theatre class named Tyler who the teacher mistook for a girl for WEEKS until she said to me, "Did you just call Tyler 'he?'" I wouldn't want that to happen to my kids!

I love the name Milo, but everyone tells me that's a name for a dog.

And Stockard, you look amazing for 42! What's your secret?

---

I know at least 20 Sarahs and Laurens, it's insane.

AND CAITLINS! ALL DIFFERENT SPELLINGS OF CAITLIN!

We have about nineteen in my chorus class if you count all of the spellings.

Okay, okay, nineteen is a gross exaggeration. That's pretty much my designated number for when I feel like exaggerating. I'll always say things like, "UGH, I HAD TO DO NINETEEN HISTORY WORKSHEETS... okay, two." "Well, I got like nineteen CDs for my birthday... well, six."

We have five Caitlins. And there are about thirty kids in my class.

LOL!

I think mine is 100.

Violet is a pretty name. Except it reminds me of "Violet, you're turning VIOLET!" from Willy Wonka.

I originally liked Hannah if Henry was a girl, but it was just becoming way too popular.

Do you like my new avatar girls?

I have no idea who this is, but this is what is coming up when I try to update my photo.

Very random.
