My sister wanted me to name the Dillo "Edward Copernicus," but we didn't.
I know a family with kids named Tycho and Celeste. The mother is an astronomer.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I do not understand why publishing requires an environment like that. Get over yourselves, wordsmiths!

I feel like we missed out not giving either kid the middle name "Danger".

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I know one of those! And a mutual friend who is super judgey about it.

I have an ancestor named "Experience," too. Experience Baker. She married a Collins. She was from the Puritan side of my family, too. Hey flea, maybe we're 300th cousins!

Nah, mine was Experience Wing. She lived to be over 80 and had 11 children, so she did live up to the name eventually.

We just have president names on one side of the family.
multiple Van Burens, a Woodrow Wilson, and I thought one other, but I cannot locate it now.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
My grandfather's name was Weed and his brother was Reno. It was a large family and many of the boys ( I don't think the girls so much) were named after where they were born ( or nicknamed like my grandfather, but he legally changed his name when he turned 18)
We have a Minor (or Miner, now I don't remember how it was spelled) on another branch. A few of them, actually, it became a family name but I don't know why the first one was called that, it doesn't seem to have been anyone's last name)

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)
The wackiest name I ever came across while substitute teaching was J'Mani, which was pronounced Gemini. Why didn't they just spell it that way?
I once bought something on eBay and the return address label said the guy's name was Axel Falcon.
I have a friend named Keziah, which isn't a name you see a lot, and we asked her where it was from, and she said she was one of Job's daughters. Job's other two daughters were Jemima and Keren-Happuch, so Kez definitely got the best name.

Oh, that's where Jemima comes from.
