Afton (female, late 20s)
Baily Kyle lastname (female, early 20s)
Nevena (female, mid 20s, prn. Neh-vee-nah)
Maurice, nn Reece (male, mid 20s)
Norma Jean, nn Nora (female, early 20s)

also, tonight i heard a woman spelling out her name for a registration thing... she says, "Deanna, spelled D-E-A-apostrophe-N-N-A" (Dea'nna). btw, every person who read the name, read it as "Deana" (Dee-na). but, it made me think of how many kids born to apostrophe-happy parents will be doing that same thing once they hit school age.

Norma Jean - as in Marilyn Monroe? :/
I don't like any of those names!

Ew, I hate the name Norma so much! The 'Jean' doesn't make it any better.

The apostrophe in Dea'nna is too bad really. Deanna is a fine name, but with the apostrophe it just looks like someone made a typo.

This is a car. And this is a gun. And this is day number one

OH DEANNA

Our little crimeworn histories. Black and smoking christmas trees. And honey, it ain't mystery. Why you're a mystery to me.

I've just realised that I really quite like the name. Without the superfluous apostrophe

Maurice with the nickname Reece is one of my top names. I've never actually seen it put to use, though.

There's something about Afton on a girl that I've always liked.

I wonder if Norma Jean will have "Candle in the Wind" played at her funeral, and I wonder if everyone will be able to keep a straight face, if so.

nora jean is so much prettier than norma jean (ew...)
nevena looks like a bad misspelling of neveah, an already bad name.
