I forgot to mention...

In the story, Nicolas goes by Nico or as Honey refers to him "nico the crazy bastard, i love him," and Reese is a girl.

And Strawberry Fields Forever has this identity crisis and wishes her parents had given her a normal name like Penny Lane or Eleanor Rigby.

I do not like Nico, but I knew a really messed up Nico, so that explains it. Reece is nice on a girl.

Honey muses at some point (i.e. I haven't written it yet) that seventeen and a half years in the past, her mother, exhausted from delivering her, mistook the nurse for the food service lady and named the child Honey Dijon and later asked for a salad with Allison Robin dressing on it.

i like it :)

ps-i'd love to see some of this novel at some point before it's published ;D

Allison Robin was supposed to be my brother's name if he was a girl. I keep asking my parents why I wasn't named that. I've got a pretty blah name and while I am the only person in my class with that name, when people say "Ugh, Elizabeth" or "Ugh, Megan," there are a lot of Elizabeths and Megans so if I had that name I could pretend it's not me but when someone says "Ugh, Pam" and the only other Pams are a freshman and a grad student, both of whom are under the radar, I know they are talking about me.

Allison Robin is such a nice, pretty name.
