Names!

[boombanda.livejournal.com]

I *LOVE* names. I have a giant list of names I've fallen in love with over the years, and whenever I have to see someone's ID at work [alcohol or checks], I'll write their name down on my arm so I can add to my list.


First of all, my immediate family and animals:
Mom Sharie Jean
Dad: John Randal [goes by Randy]
Stepdad: Sean David
Brother: David Anthony [NOT named for my stepdad]
Sisters: Christina Marie [goes by Cecil, because of a mispronounciation of a nickname when she was younger]
Ashlee Nicole [goes by Ash, even though I think she has the prettiest name of all of us]
Emily Anne
Me: Brittany Lynne [I go by Tany (rhymes with Danny) because EVERYONE is a Brittany]
Dog: Sabrina
Cats: London
Bitey [named by a six-year-old when she was bitten by him]
Darla [named after Darla Dimple, a character from Cats Don't Dance who HATES cats]

I know my namelist is huge, but I use them for stories and Lego towns and pets and things like that. The bolded names are ones that I would actually give a child and/or I'm in love with.

Demetri's a really great name, I think. From the ages of 5-12 I was CONVINCED I'd have a child named Demetri.
