3. I like the name, too.
And, in case I neglected to mention, Astrid was a very lovely girl.

5. Did she have a nickname?
I am genuinely stuck on what a good nickname would be for an 'Astrid.'

8. Great. Okay. Well, if she needs a nickname, maybe
it can be formed from her middle name.

9. I only don't like the first name
the other two are cool.

Tatum reminds me too much of tantrum. Would be not fair to the kid.

Oops. Well, that's what I have Loungers for.

13. Or Tater
Which actually sounds less dumb than Tatum, now that I think about it.

17. Yikes. It's a good thing I decided to 'vet' these names.
I am still pretty attatched to Tatum, but now I'll have some ammunition with which to talk myself out of using it in the alternate reality in which I have any babies.

14. I...can't believe it's the first one people don't like.
I guess I'll skip my lengthy, emotional post about why the first one is the most signficant to me, then. Because the 'Tatum' and the 'Delilah' who inspired it are the bravest women I've encountered. Because I don't think that would make the name any more appealing.

Because...Tater. ACK.

12. I hate that nickname line
What is so wrong with addressing a person by his/her given name?

16. Sorry.
In RL, if a person tells me they don't like being refered to by a nickname, I won't ever do that, of course. I wouldn't do it to my kid if she disliked it. It's just a thing I do sometimes, with people who don't mind it. It's the Russophile in me.

18. If you're a Russophile, just call everyone "Sasha."
When in Rome, and all.

People asked you that when you were pregnant? Did you beat them?

It's too hard to hit someone with that big stomach out in front. ;)

25. Plus it's hard to control other people doing it. I wanted to name
my daughter Kate, do not care for the nickname Katie and knew I couldn't control it so I chose another name.

23. HEY. Why is the last poll option is leading right now?
Edited on Wed Mar-22-06 11:13 AM by BlueIris
Meanies. You think these names are dorky or unlikeable? You should see the ones I ruled out. And the ones I'm considering if any of the children are male.

32. I'm thinking up 'replacements' as I post this.
I would really, really like to avoid giving any of my kids 'stripper names.'

29. Egh. But at least someone noticed that I want the first names I use
Edited on Wed Mar-22-06 11:38 AM by BlueIris
to each a) end on a different letter/sound and b) have a certain melodious harmony to them. That's important.

33. Tallulah Grace
Edited on Wed Mar-22-06 01:27 PM by Lilith Velkor
I like that.

"Tallulah Grace Hassenpfeffer (or whatever the last name is), get in the car, NOW!"

Practice that phrase with every name to see how it flows.

On edit: Tatum + Delilah = Tallulah, ya dig?

27. I like Delilah, but not crazy about Tatum.
I like all the other ones. Delilah is my favorite. It was on my girl name list, but I had all boys.

It's a fairly common Scandinavian name.
