Greetings everyone just got back from ballroom dancing class...waltz, cha-cha and tango today(of course there's a certain song I'm planning to tango to), fun times.
This time won't even try to read the whole thread, but read the last 2 pages, you all w/ uncommon names, trust me, it's not that bad not having your name on key chains and stuff. I mean sure I had that but having the second most common girl's name in the country is *not* fun. You hear your name called constantly when it's not you, when your name is called about 5 other ppl turn around, in school you're either known by your last name or first name w/ last initial, you just feel soo...common. You guys are originals, you're special and lucky.
My kids are getting less common names.
"If there was a Mount Rushmore for Broadway scores, "West Side Story" would be front and center. It snaps, it crackles it pops! It surges with a roar, its energy and sheer life undiminished by the years" - NYPost reviewer Elisabeth Vincentelli
"All the while making faces like a baby platypus who forget to take some Beano before eating a chimichanga." FindingNamo in reference to Jessica Simpson's singing.
WickedRentQ - Completely agree. Its much easier to have a less common name... heck, anytime i actually found something personalized that i liked - my name would be sold out! and where's the fun in that...
Anthony dangit (yes i just said dangit), get your butt on this thread and say hi. I think we could use a good literary run through of Tango Maureen between you and Fredi.
"I would rather take a flawed movie that has as much heart and passion and life and joy and energy and truth in it as this film does over any film that is completely perfectly presented and perfectly constructed but has none of that heart and life." -Anthony Rapp
well you guys go stalk him and get him in here.. hehehehehehe
"All work and no smut makes Cammy lose her edge." ~DG
"Someday I'm going to have a baby and I'm gonna name her L'il Mimi Marquez and I and will sing to her every day and when she's a toddler I will say "L'il Mimi Marquez, clad only in a bubble diaper, will perform her famous play pen handcuff dance to the sounds of breast milk being pumped!" ~Kringas
rarely had anything with my name on it...everything seemed to stop at "Victoria"...especially devastating when all of your friends have the personalized birthday song record, and there is not one for you
However...I did have a whole group of first graders convinced that Peter Pan came to visit my house when I was a camp counselor!
Becky--being a teacher I also have a whole list of "never" names on the baby name list...too many associations!
my friend's name is rachael... she can only find personalized stuff in england.
It's rough finding things... almost everything says 'Rachel' BAH! I do have a few things though, and even though I'm 21... if I see something that has it spelled correctly, I buy it!
Keep smiling, it makes people wonder what you're up to
