Blast From The Past
I happened to stumble upon this old post, which was my “question of the week” on baby names. Since it’s mine, I will quote in full, copyright be damned:
Question of the Week: Baby Names
This question was not inspired by Kim Crawford, whose related post I just saw. It was inspired by this post and my comment to it over at Acidman’s.
Those of you who don’t have any kids yet, do you already have any names picked out? If you never had kids after all, or now don’t expect to, do you find it disappointing not to be able to use the name(s)?
Those of you who do have kids, did you have names in mind as much as years beforehand? Is that what you ended up using, or something else?
Was there any particular inspiration for the name(s)?
Feel free to give us details! What names you like or dislike, why, what you used or planned to use, what you actually did use. I bet some of you came into a marriage with baby names already in mind, only to have to haggle with the spouse who also had names in mind.
The first comment on that post? Deb of course:
Hmmm...I don’t expect to ever have children. If I had a daughter, though, I’d want to name her Sadie, which is the name I *almost* got, after a relative of mine who was a wild woman before wild women were cool. I wouldn’t exactly say I’m disappointed that I’ll probably never get the chance, but that’s a whole ‘nother comment, as they say.
Heh. Little did she know…
So how about now? Any new or additional responses to this? The commenters included Ian, Candy, Kate, Ith, Jennifer, Rob, Ken, and Dave.
