Realistic name choices...

Long time no..see?

So at work I have to ask people their names for their orders. 50 Saras, 30 Michelles, 60 Christinas or Chrissys or Christies. (those numbers are totally inaccurate but thats how it seems). Chris is probably the most popular guys name as well. Chris, Steve/Stephen or Jeff.

Then I met an Edward. I hadn't gotten an Edward! It got me thinking about names I actually like on people. I actually really like Edward on people. I really like Arthur too. I met a boy, he was maybe 10 named Kellan.

I guess it was just a funny realization. On people I probably wouldn't use Fox or Clover. But I would use Edward.

Any comments or name suggestions. how many of your "names list" names would you actually use? Like REALLY. ACTUALLY. USE!

Oh, yeah. I mean, there doesn't always have to be something wrong with a name in order to make it a guilty pleasure. I actually keep a list of names I like that I couldn't see myself using. For example, one of my notes is on Malachai-- "there is no way I could raise a kid tough enough for this name". There are also a lot of names I like that start with "Eli--", which are the first three letters of my name, and I go by "Eli". Even though naming my kid Elias wouldn't be naming him after me, I fear people would think it were, so it's out, too. Stuff like that makes it a guilty pleasure.
