I could do my spanish homework… or I could go sit in my hammock and spiral about how boring my names are and how I should completely start over and delete all of my lists and make myself love new names or how I need to make my subconscious not hate my old names and beg [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f] not to listen to me and that she’s still beautiful no matter what I say and gag at how bland everything is.
Those lists annoy me so much. I’m interested to see how they compare to the national data but it’s not the SSA so don’t go telling these normal people who don’t know any better that this is the real data lol.
When you’re playing “safe or brave middle” and you have no idea which middle name is supposed to be the safe one, and which one’s supposed to be the brave one
Oh sweet children, your time will come when you too discover this magic trick of vanishing and then randomly reappearing when no one was expecting it, most of all: you didn’t know you had done until you suddenly found yourself again knee-deep in someone’s long list of three middle name combos for their pet guinea pig (a girl but they like unisex names too) like your life depends on it.
Mom: Yay! [name_m]Can[/name_m] I see your class photo?
Dad: Yay! [name_m]Can[/name_m] I see your class photo?
Grandma: Yay! [name_m]Can[/name_m] I see your class photo?
Me: Yay! [name_m]Can[/name_m] I see your class list?
Oh yeah kid couldn’t change their name or tell you they don’t like it but you should have to go through that terrible harrowing struggle of being named [name_f]Hortense[/name_f]! And OF COURSE there are ABSOLUTELY NO NICKNAMES you could go by, not even [name_f]Tess[/name_f], [name_f]Hetty[/name_f], [name_m]Tenny[/name_m], or [name_f]Essie[/name_f].
