and this is my list of boy names. for some reason, i like simple names. again, classic names.


adam, aaron, adrian, andrew
benjamin, blair, brandon, blake, brody
caleb, calvin, charles, christian, corey
daniel, david, derek, damien
eli, edward
francis
gabriel, gavin
hal, henry, holden
ian, isaac
jack, jacob, john, james, jared, jeremy, jonah, joshua, julian, joel
louis, lucas
matthew, michael, malachai
patrick, peter
rhett, rowan, ryan
samuel, sean, simon
thomas, tobias
wesley, william

i really, really like louis and joel. a lot. and although quite common, i love adam and andrew. patrick, christian, brandon, and brody are all runner ups, i guess.

and while i'm at it-- i'm going to share something terrible. i knoooow there are lame jokes about names like chanda lear and orange jello... i know. and i hate that this is true and people would probably think i'm pulling something like that. but, i was at my boyfriend's parent's house a weekend or so ago and was reading their newspaper. since i obviously have a thing for names, i was reading all the different names of the kids that made honor roll. i unfortunately came across a girl named tiffany lamp. aaagh. i wish i brought the paper with me to scan it or had thought to take a picture of it. poor kid. hopefully her parents didn't know what a tiffany lamp was or something.

oh, i know what it's like to have people screw up your name. i've always had to correct teachers with my name. i get elisha, elisa, eliza, alisha, alyssa, elsa, elizabeth, melissa, elise... elisha and alisha can be pronounced either -lisha or -leesha. or i get elissa, alyssa, alissa, elisa as spellings. holy crapy. it's alyssa, with a long e. totally not hard. and then the middle name! how do you pronounce that? ohh, that's pretty. aileen. i guess it could be ilene, but we pronounce a-lean.

that got long. i'm still going, haha. anyway. my name is what sparked my interest in names because i got so frustrated with people having so much trouble with it that i wanted to change it. but i've grown to love it.
