Just found this again!
What fun.

I called her Hely, as you will know as you follow my threads slavishly, Constant Reader. Her formal name is Hel-cat the Lady Marmaleisha. Or Patsy to HM (because she looks like Patsy Palmer, the actress who plays Bianca in EastEnders).

I'm still considering having a baby just to be able to get some more interesting names out there.

I was very disappointed to pick up an arts magazine the other day and find that Angharad Wynne-Jones is from Chicago. Whenever I saw her on our contacts list I immediately assumed she was proper Welsh and probably didn't learn English until she went to Uni etc etc. False advertising if you ask me. Bet she's never even seen Igor the Engine.

I gave my first German shepherd, who was German bred on both sides, a registered name that meant "it's unpronounceable German". Nichts ubersezliches Deutsche or something along those lines, although his call name was easier. Sometimes I referred to him as The Lord, because, you see, he was my shepherd. But I've never named a human, just voted for my choice when presented with a list.

I wonder if anyone has ever called a kid Splash? or Spot? Pimple would be amusing. to the rest of us....

Puritan names

Fear Abstinence is going to be my first child.

Just yesterday, I heard the name Zuchina. WTF?!? I mean, I could maybe see Tomatilla or Aubergene (Auberjean?), but...

The Utah Baby Namer is my favorite baby name site ever.

The cream of the crop really is.
I like VulvaMae.

Knox?
