Linda

[mooie-ziel.livejournal.com]

Where I work I run across a lot of older (50-60+ ) women. Immediately I noticed a lot of them were named Linda. I looked it up and saw in the time frame they were born, it was a top ten name (it skyrocketed for some reason from 89 to 2 around 1940). And let me tell you, it's confusing when a lady calls, I ask who it is, and they say Linda as though that's supposed to give me a clue. Even the lady I replaced at work was named Linda, and the lady I work with would have been named Linda, except the woman down the street named her daughter Linda, so the lady's mother named her something else.

It's interesting to have a preview of when this generation grows up, and all the grannies are named Madison & Emma.

"And who may I say is calling?"
"Just tell her it's Emma."
Like that's supposed to help.
