What was I thinkin'?

(and without trying to get the Dierks Bentley song in my head. . .)

I recently came across a story I wrote in 2005. I'm looking at some of these names, wondering what I was thinking. I'm not sure that it's necessarly any names in particular that suck (other than the pets in my opinion), but just together.

Main character: Gracelyn Adaline Williams McGinnley(nn Gracie, Grace, etc.)
Gracelyn's b/f: Alex McGinnley
Waitress: Billie Jo (it's a country restaurant. . .as in the workers have southern accents, the band plays country music, and the table cloths are checkered)
Alex's family: Sarah McGinnley (mom), Chocolate Chip (dog), Shadow (cat), Shawna McGinnley (sister), Bob McGinnley (dad)
Friends: Shawn Peller [reminds me now of Penn & Teller], Andy Marhsall, Gary Kronwall [I must have hit up the hockey roster], Steve Washington, Colin Herrold, Ryan Mawkrey [anything like Ryan Stiles and Colin Mochrie?], Danny Hampton, Shane Simpson
Gracelyn's family: John Williams [me now: really?????] (dad)
Gracelyn and Alex's family: Erica Marie McGinnley, Shannon Carla McGinnley, Amber Dawn McGinnley

I just feel there are far too many S's in the McGinnley family.
