We are in the middle of moving house, and it is overwhelming and stressful and sad and happy and THERE IS SO MUCH WORK AND IT WILL NEVER END, so I am hoping we can find some temporary ways to keep this blog up and running even while I am cleaning out from under the refrigerator (“Hey, there’s that dinosaur magnet we lost ten years ago!”) and trying to find which box I packed the postage stamps in (shouldn’t they be with the bills and address labels? why AREN’T they?).<\/p>\n
For today, what if we talk about any name or names we’ve been noticing recently, for whatever reason. Is there a name you feel like you’re recently hearing a lot more of, or a name you think is due for a comeback, or a name you recently added to your Sad I Can’t Use It list, or a name you heard in real life for the first time, or a name you noticed in a book you were reading and have some thoughts about, or a name that is growing on you from hearing it in use?<\/p>\n
We will try to keep things relatively positive overall, but I think it would be fine to tactfully\/gently make less-positive remarks, as long as we are keeping in mind that there could be some dearly loved ones in our midst who have used the very names we have recently been wondering if they will EVER drop gracefully back out of fashion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
