babynamesI've been lurking for a while but I'm trying to procrastinate so I thought I'd post.
When I hav a child I plan on naming it either Anne or John. Maybe William. If I had another girl she'd be Elizabeth.
I tell people this and they look at me like I'm crazy and then tell me the kid will hate me for giving it such a "horrible" name.
What gives? If I had to chose between being Rylee Sestina or Anne, I think I'd thank my mother every day for the latter.

Date: 2005-12-15 05:37 pm (UTC)I used to be torn on the C/K issue, wondering if my loving the K didn't make me some sort of trendy version...but really, I figure they've been peacefully coexisting for so long that it doesn't EFFING matter.
Besides, it originates from the greek word for "pure", and when greek translates into Roman letters, K and C are pretty much interchangable. See: Cassandra/Kassandra, Calypso/Kalypso. So really, they're equally acceptable from an etymological/academic perspective.
