I ate out last night and two names of waitresses stood out to me--Linnette and Gennifer. Linnette has a nice sound and isn't something you hear often, but I think I would prefer the spelling Lynnette. Isn't that the traditional spelling? Now, that doesn't even look quite right to me... Gennifer is just gross to me.

Completely unrelated (because I noticed as I was about to post that it could be taken as a commentary on waitesses), but does anyone know of a site that has information on names and socioeconomic status, either by mean or mode?

Also, I have a nephew now. His name is Colton James. It sounds fine together, but I don't really care for the name Colton. Ah well, he's a cute little bugger anyway. ;)

Linnette has a huge retro-vintage-juke-box-diner waitress vibe for me XD
Gennifer makes me gag.. and reminds me of how people are constantly trying to spell my name (Jessica) with a G here in Italy..

Congrats on being an aunt!! :)
Colton is totally NMS, and to me it belongs with that sort of "90's names for boys" like Corbin, Kaleb, Colin, etc.

Well, it was a Cracker Barrel so while it is retro, it's not quite that kind. lol.

Thanks. :)
