Yearbooks!

[cremepuff.livejournal.com]

I am bored and unable to sleep, so I was going through my college yearbooks and found some interesting names--yes, my college was small enough that we had yearbooks with senior photos. Anyhow, I picked out names or spellings that aren't too common, at least in the US, from what I've seen. These people are all now in their mid to late 20's.
