Vortex, I always giggle when I think of your brother and the name change. So bizarre.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Regardless of what name I choose, today is the fun part of wedding planning: we get to taste cupcakes after work!

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
I'm kind of attached to my names because all together the meanings serve as a plot summary of Princess Bride.
I am intrigued! I know your first name means "princess"...

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I know! I want one now. Forget my healthy lunch, man. Cupcaaaaakes.

I have no cupcakes in my future today. oh woes! But I do have half an avocado to look forward to.

I do have avocado in my healthy lunch.
But it's not a cupcake. (I seriously want that frosting SO BAD. I have to keep telling myself, "Self, you only have to wait until 6:00 for cupcakes. Be a grown-up!" And, as 6:00 gets closer and closer, it gets harder and harder to wait. SUCH AGONY, I TELL YOU.)

In re names - I remember hearing about a local man whose last name is O. Just O. Which causes as much of a problem as the too-long names (and, yes, The Story of O is always full of pain).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I still want to change my last name to de la O !. Coworker over the cube wall thinks I'm mean, and yeah, I am. But I have zero sympathy for database design. Given that I'm already fighting default capitalisation, why not go whole hog?
Right, because my father likes having the same surname as me.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I look at my address book, and there's one O and at least 50 P last names.
