*sits in the weirdly-named corner*

Well, weirdly-spelled. I've never met another Holli, though a few Hollys and plenty of Mollys.

ION, I bought $30 worth of vintage dresses at an estate sale this morning, which at $1 each translates to a LOT of dresses.

Echo is a fine name as long as the parents aren't Dollhouse fans. Then it gets a little weird.

My thought exactly!

Also, I think kids get picked on if they are going to get picked on -- then the pickers-on choose what to make fun of.

This. Never got picked on for my name.

I don't think I've met a Susan (or any variation of) who is under 35 years old.

I have pretty glittery red nails and toes. They make me quite happy. And it was good to catch up with Nicole.

My husband, Michael, most common boy's name for 40 years running, got picked on for his name, so yeah, some kids just get picked on.

He grew up to be 6'6" and have a PhD, so he showed them!

(don't forget his smarty pants, hot wife and awesome kids.)

Ooo! 125? (The olive.)

Sorry, been busy today, but yes Plei. Cass was kind enough to send me a swatch. So purty. Sadly they were sold out of the holos, but I got a sparkly (I think the right term is flaky?) opalescent purple/blue and a forest green.

Jesse, I haven't read the article, but I will. That's one of my greatest fears.

Just wait until you have some time to cry. :(

I cried :(

I had a weird name AND was made fun of a lot, but there wasn't much you could do with "Nadine". Although my BF called me "Moo", which started because he called me "Nay" which was corrupted to "Neigh" which was corrupted to "Moo".

Also, this brings me to the point that what I am missing in my life is a gay best friend, because I had one from 5th grade on until after college.

Sue, that's fantastic! Wanna come do my stairs?

There's a reason mine are still carpeted.
