Slache Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 My middle name is no good, either. It sounds country. All in all, I think they could have done better. I like country names. Nobody here seemed to like Cheyenne. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lots of little ducklings Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 My parents named me a kind of old fashioned name, and I don't love it.

texasmama Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 (edited) I like country names. Nobody here seemed to like Cheyenne. :( I love Cheyenne. I don't think of that as country. By "country", I mean something that is a typical Southern double name, that you could imagine in the following sentence, "Wilma Lou, come slop the hogs!" That is how my name sounds to me. :lol: Edited May 21, 2016 by texasmama 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lots of little ducklings Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Hey, Renai. Will dd6 like this??? Of all the stuff she circled in the latest Toys R Us catalog, which was a heckuva lot, about 50% of it was remote-controlled. I am not a fan of battery-op toys that are noisy or quick-to-lose-their-appeal or easily broken or fodder for the next garage sale, but her pile is too low and I'm stuck for ideas. She's tough to buy for. Her choices in the catalog weren't great. This was the only r-c item I found through googling that was neither evil-looking nor clearly made for toddlers nor likely to break in 5 minutes. And it doesn't look too big. (We have very little toy storage space.) And it's not $40+. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jean in Newcastle Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I was out doing errands with dd(14 tomorrow). I saw a barrel for pet food for the needy and asked dd to look for a barrel for people. She did not get the connection and thought I wanted a place to hide a body. WHY? Why would she jump to that sort of a conclusion? I am not axe-murdery. Or creepy. Or pychopathic. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tex is a time-honored name among Texans! Or so I heard. A long time ago when I was gainfully employed, I worked with a man named Tex. He even had it on his business card. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Lynn Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Well, I get to "go by" my underwhelming middle name (Lynn) and I have a nice, rarely used, southern bell first name to go with it. My parents joke that I was almost Cleopatra because they named older brother something similar to Marc Antony. But it's just a joke. Anyway, my long standing name rule is to make the first name what you want to call them. Don't plan to go by middle names.

Critterfixer Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) I don't decorate. Too much to dust. I'm seriously contemplating excessive Grinchness by refusing to have a Christmas tree on the grounds that I do not want to clean up cat vomit over the holidays. I might just win the argument. I will wrap the presents. I might put up some garland over the fireplace. Maybe. ETA: I did win the argument. No tree in favor of providing a feast for the wild animals in the front yard. I also have a very southern name, but I like my middle name. Should I ever publish anything, I'm going by my middle name.
