Gah, I go to work and all this top chat happens?
I must add my ha-penneth whether you all like it or not.
Firstly, hello fellow newbs. Glad to see extremesitting fancies Michael Cera - tell me, do you have a jailbait teeny studmuffin in RL like me and ski or do you keep your dubiousness for your mind only?
Am about the 'pretentious' names thing. I actually like 'different' names like Clover and Granny-tastic names like Elsie and my own name could fit into both those categories. I don't like them to try to be clever or different, I just like what I like - p'raps it's because I'm ridiculously middle-class and names others see as pretentious are the norm to me - between us, me and TYF have cousins with names like: Thomasin, Meyrick, Elspeth, Sebastian, Tristan, Dominic, Laurette, etc. My brother was nearly called St. John ('Sinjun'). BTW, to balance things out, my cousin has a daughter called Charmaine . If we're talking name choices, I'm going to take the opposite view, which is that I hate names that are boring and commonplace and that everyone else has. Might be cos I was 21 before I met anyone else with the same name as me, but heyho. I better not ever reveal on here the names me and TYF like for our future offspring TYF is even worse than me (dreadfully posh): he has already rejected one of my faves - Felix - on the grounds that it's too ordinary...
Talking of TYF, we're not married, but if we did I would either keep my name or we'd both use both surnames. Same with future kids - will have both surnames (but not double-barrelled) - that way, when they're older they can drop one if they want. Am a Ms and go quite, quite mental when people call me Miss or address letters thus. Have an MA in Wimminz Studdeze, hear me roar!
Ye great time of ovulation is nigh (at the weekend). Are my absurd levels of excitement bad for my fertility?
