Passions

So, for nearly six years I've been addicted to this amazingly horrific soap opera called Passions (the one with the witches and Not!Gay!Chad, if you watch The Soup).  I was thinking about it the other day and how much I hate it and wish it weren't my crack when I realized that I actually like a lot of the names on the show.  So, I compiled a list of all of the major members of the chief families and italicized the names that I like.  A number of people have the same name because these people, for some reason, take issue with giving their children original names.

Alistair Ephraim
Antonio Brian
Beth
Chad
Charity
Christopher Matthew [Chris]
David
Edna
Elizabeth [Liz]
Endora
Esme
Ethan
Ethan
Martin [Little Ethan]
Eve
Faith
Fancy
Grace
Gwendolen [Gwen; possibly spelled Gwendolyn]
Hank
Herbert [Spike]
Ivy
James
Jane
Jared Tolland
Jessica
John
Jonathan

Julian Linus
Katherine
Kathleen Elizabeth [Kay]
Luis
Maria Ivy
Martin
Martin [Marty]
Maya
Miguel
Miles Davis
Nicholas Foxworth [Fox]
Noah
Norma
Paloma
Pilar
Pretty
Rachel
Rebecca
Reese
Samuel [Sam]
Samuel
Herbert
Sarah
Sheridan
Simone
Tabitha
Theresa
Thornton Chandler [TC]
Timmy
Valerie
Viki
Vincent
Whitney

Some of the names, most specifically Grace, Sheridan, Theresa, and Whitney, I used to like until my loathing for their characters ruined my affections.

Pretty and Fancy are the best names ever.
I loved this show more than life itself growing up.

Haha... it has been SO long since I watched Passions. I watched it religiously for about two years (2000-2001). I think the last time I saw an episode was back in the "what's in TC's shed???" era. Good times!

I can't even begin to imagine what has happened since then...

I watched it back when Sheridan was still good and was being kept in the secret pit by Beth.

I like Alistair, David & Maya, and I also have a thing for the name Pilar. It sucks that it's almost the exact same word as 'pillar'.

Hahahaha, oh man. I used to LOVE that show. I was all depressed every time I missed it. Mind you, I was 13 at the time, and was equally as obsessed with Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman. My taste in TV should really be examined;)

PS. I'm addicted Days of our Lives, but from about seven years ago as we're that behind with episodes in the UK.
I should list the names from that and post it on here too.

Y'know, I haven't watched Passions in like two years, but I'll bet I could still pick up the story line easily enough from where I left off. I almost miss it, but not quite.

<3 Tabitha; the reference to the show is only a bonus for me.

I FUCKING LOVE PASSIONS!!!
I hate hate hate Theresa! At least I hated her name before I started watching the show, though, or she could have ruined a lovely name.

As for the names, I'll try not to let my opinions of the characters get in the way of my assessments.

I also don't understand why people like Theresa! She's manipulative, needy, and obsessive. "EEEEEEEEETHAN!!!!"
What's really creepy is that she slept with three generations of Crane.

Fancy = ♥
I'd totally use her name as a nickname for Francesca.
I would not, however, name her sister Pretty.
