Hopefully if the flight attendants strike it wont be until after you trip..or at least until your there. being "stuck" in Europe on vacation wouldn't be bad.

by sparky at 03/14/10 1:02PM
Have you seen the Scrabble Apple game? I think it has your name written all over it!

by textilet at 03/15/10 8:02AM
I read that they have Don Quixote locations marked in many places.

by AlanL at 03/16/10 9:41AM
I have never read Don Quixote, but if that is the case, I would want to read it before I went!

by theaunt at 03/17/10 11:38AM
one of my YN's favorite terms is quixotic

after a song, what would it be?

Since songs are often named after people...

by AlanL at 03/06/10 6:55PM
Layla

Lucy

I thought of Beth (by Kiss), Shenadoah and Mariah (They called the wind...)

by laughing_eyes at 03/07/10 4:32PM
Sue

^^LOL! Good one William.
LOLA......L-O-L-A

by yellowrose at 03/08/10 8:16AM
Andromeda... you guess the song ;-)

by shinri at 03/08/10 9:39PM
"...everyone knows it's Wendy"

by graycastle at 03/09/10 9:22AM
"Penny and Me" -Hanson, "Penny Lane" -Beatles. I thiiiink Hanson took inspiration from the Beatles for the song, and Taylor also named his daughter Penelope.

by meagan at 03/10/10 11:33PM
Aubrey, by Bread is a sweet song, too, but I don't much care for the name.

by meagan at 03/11/10 8:25AM

if you were going to name your baby ...

after a fictional character in a book, what would it be?

Thanks Amber for the idea ;)

by laughing_eyes at 03/03/10 9:00PM
I like Holden Caufield.

by mropolo at 03/03/10 9:20PM
Lucy from Narnia.

by kaceyatthebat at 03/03/10 9:49PM
"Man Made Global Warming" Wood

by swood at 03/04/10 7:30AM
Scout

by sheshe at 03/04/10 8:25AM
Well Oliver is a good choice. ;)

by yellowrose at 03/04/10 8:40AM
I love the name Benjamin, but I'm not sure that name is a fictional character!

by txmom at 03/04/10 7:48PM
^ Benjamin Bunny

The more I hear it, the more I like Alice. I've been headed toward "older" names recently. However, I named one of the barn cats Alice... so that's out. Does Greek mythology count as a fictional book character? Then, I've always liked Daphne. I like the name Daphne Laurel... (So, Laurel Laurel. :p)

by meagan at 03/04/10 8:54PM
I should have named my daughter Mary Lennox.

by textilet at 03/05/10 8:16AM
Yuck! It is your off Friday - I hope that means you don't have to work too many hours. We might make it again tonight, we'll have to see how the day goes. The kids just now dragged themselves out of bed after 2 "Wednesday nights" in a row. I'll pass your Hi on to the kids. :)

This gets harder and harder, humm, I think
for a boy - Arthur 'Boo' Radley (To Kill a Mockingbird)
for a girl - Anne Shirley (Anne of Green Gables)

after a constellation or star, what would it be?

since y'all have done so well on the other ones :)

by laughing_eyes at 03/01/10 10:19PM
Lyra :)

by ambie_06 at 03/01/10 10:25PM
You know what? You learn something new everyday. I searched the names of constellations and their stars to decide on a name that I might be inclined to pick. Along the way I saw a few names that stood out to me:

Draco
Bellatrix
Sirius
Regulus

Hmm...Are you a Harry Potter fan? I'm wondering if J.K. Rowling searched the constellations and stars for these...where else would you get a name like Bellatrix??

by ambie_06 at 03/01/10 10:31PM
That makes me think of the Harry Potter books. Many of them are names of stars or constellations. Hmmmm. Sirius is my favorite star, but not a name. How about Lyra from the Summer constellations.

by theaunt at 03/01/10 10:34PM
Oops...Someone was ahead of me while I was pondering on the a name. :)

by theaunt at 03/01/10 10:35PM
You know what, Amber & Sara ... I never realized that. I was just impressed with the scope of her imagination. So sad, now I know she opted for an easy way out. *sigh*

by laughing_eyes at 03/01/10 10:37PM
But, I still have to admit, they're great names :)

by laughing_eyes at 03/01/10 10:38PM
Doesn't Bellatrix just drip/ooze with evilness?

by laughing_eyes at 03/01/10 10:39PM
Ken said, "Star." Cool name, I'd say.

by kaceyatthebat at 03/01/10 11:06PM
Ah, Stacy, but she opts for the easy way out in most scenarios.

by kaceyatthebat at 03/01/10 11:07PM
Perhaps "Stella," as it's a version of the word star.

by beckyd at 03/02/10 8:07AM
Beetlejuice.

by textilet at 03/02/10 9:09AM
I was going to say Betelgeuse, but I was beat to it.

by AlanL at 03/02/10 9:37AM
Orion...I just LIKE it. (or go Irish on this O'Ryan)

by graycastle at 03/02/10 3:23PM
Ursa Major (The Big Bear or Big Dipper)- call them Bear for short

Sagittarius - (The Teapot) - Call her Tari (pronounced Terry)

by curmudgeon at 03/02/10 3:52PM
I like Cassiopeia.

by meagan at 03/03/10 1:16AM
In fact, I'm adding it to my list.

by meagan at 03/03/10 1:16AM
He took mine... guess you can tell we're related. I even used Orion as a band name for a while. It's my favorite.
