Names

One of my friends is having a baby, and doesn't yet have names picked out. This means I get to pore through baby name books and make suggestions.

Of course, I'll be pleased if my suggestions stick. In the meantime, though, I'm happy enough to learn that the female form of Xerxes is Sherry -- and that it means "pertaining to Caeser."

Names rock my world.

When I was about 12, my aunt had her first (and only) daughter. Apparently, when she asked me what she should name her (out of jest, I presume -- I don't remember this), I suggested Danielle, "after me." And she did: Alexis Ellen Danielle P---. :)
