see? now i know they're 'old fashioned' - mostly b/c the patients are all elderly ladies & gentlemen, but i like it. it's so refreshing after all the whacked out names i used to get.... (see this entry for example: http://community.livejournal.com/baby_names/2679506.html#cutid1 )

and i kind of like them. my taste tends to run in the traditional direction. i plan on my children not having to apologize or explain away their names when entering the professional world of grown-ups. :)
