I'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.

Thank you. My list of names for my future children? Peter, Alexander, Catherine, and Elizabeth. (Guess the common theme and get a cookie!)

I feel sad for my future children, as I forsee many a long afternoon trying to figure out how to spell their classmates' names for Valentine's Day cards and the like.

Monarchs/royalty ... I'm thinking Russian
Peter the Great
Tsar Alexander (there were three)
Catherine the Great
Not sure when Elizabeth was, but am sure there was one.

Do I get a cookie? :)

Yeah it's going to be tragic. Especially for mine with their crazy onomast mother demanding to know and ranting about it.

Great rules, yep. Russian was totally unintended, the Alexander I was going with was Alexander the Great (who I totally had a history-crush on long before the Colin Farrel movie, even if he is hot). Maybe I should find a fourth '...the Great' name to go with, instead of Elizabeth. To add to the theme.

Yes! You get an Internet cookie! Congrats!

Hurrah :)
I've studied the Russian aristocracy for a long time, so that was my immediate thought.
History-crushes are cool, sure I've had a couple.
