Baby Names...

I have been looking at baby names. I am bored. Hubby is still asleep - but that is a good thing. I fell asleep before him last night, and he hardly ever sleeps in this late. He does really need his rest. So...I have been trying to see if people really do name their children "Female"or "Orangejello."

I think that I have a whole list of names that I wish that my parents would have named me. (I do, however, really like my name.) I think that with a different name, I could have been a completely different person - but I am not sure that anyone else with that name would do the things that I would do if I were named that same name. Get it?

1.Bianca - with a name like this, I would have been mysterious. I probably would have worked for the CIA as a top-secret spy.

2.Helen - I would have had red hair and been the perfect hostess/housewife. Sort of like out of a 1950s movie.

3.Helga - With a name like this, I would have been a warrior-princess.

4.Margarita - I would salsa dance all night. I would have thick, curly black hair - in which I would always wear a huge red rose.

5.Beatrice - this depends on how people pronounce this one. With an Italian pronunciation, I would be queenly. With a good ol' American pronunciation, I would have a big nose and a pair of small spectacles.

6.Gertrude - With this name, I would insist on being called "Gertie" and I would be very ugly, but the life of the party - in a cheesy, corny sense.

7.Violet - I would be terribly sweet. Everyone would love me. I would have been a very nice person.

8.Maria Teresa - I would have been a nun.

9.Mildred - I would have been a hermit.

10.Josephine - I would have been a terribly eccentric person - and most likely a Tom-boy.

11.Myrtle - I would wear curlers in my hair and smoke Virginia Slims all day.

12. Daisy - I love this name. I would have been sweet, and rosy, and completely lovely. I would have been the person everyone wanted around. Hubby would never have married me because he would only have thought about his dog named "Daisy" everytime he talked to me.

13.Isabella - I would wear full, lacy white skirts with big pink sashes - until I was eighty-five.

14.Tatiana - I would have been definitely very lady-like. I would have been regal, and polite, and maybe a little demanding. I would be a great dancer. And I would speak with an accent.

15.Angel - I would be a very bad girl. I would smoke cigarrettes and drink whiskey out of a shoe. I would appear sweet in a bubble-gum sort of way. I would dance on tables while I giggled.

16. Mary Jane - I would be very mod. I would wear only short, black-and-white minidresses. My hair would be long and straight. And I would wear knee socks and high-heeled loafers. I would have a huge pair of white sunglasses. And I would smoke...

17. Rain - I would be a really cool hippy chick. I would only wear organic-fiber clothes. I would play my guitar that would be always with me. I would sing in a monotone voice and swing my long, curly hair. I would post "Don't Hurt Your Mother" bumper-stickers on my car - that was broken down and constantly polluting the environment. And I would recycle.

18. Bubba - I would be a lumberjack and like other women.

19.Cookie - I would be terribly corpulent, but I would make a mean batch of - muffins.

20.Lucy - I would be one of those insufferable British chicks. I would only wear gray and navy blue and black. I would prefer slacks to skirts. I would be monotone, and stuffy.

21.Rose Marie - I would have married a mounty. I would be small and petite and lady-like. And, boy, could I belt out a song!

22.Bertha - I would open up a bar in the middle of some small town. I would be the bar-tender/bouncer/rule-enforcer. I would have a huge "Mom" tattoo on my upper bicep.

23.Destiny - I would be a stripper.

24.Mary - totally the girl-next-door, but with a secret...

25.Taylor - "Like, what? So, this nail-polish like really clashes...Ohmyga! She so did not! Wow, like I drank so much last night. Did you like see me? Ohmyga...My highlights are like so fading. Like, do you think my skin looks orange enough? Oooooh. I got like 10 different STDs in like the past year. Those little frat boys are like so dirrty. I haven't maxed out Daddy's card yet - let's go shopping...Do you like think if I slept on my book that I could pass Basket Weaving 101? Like I've already been to the class 3 times this semester. It's just like so hard. I was only a little hung-over. Ohmaga, someone's beeping in. It's probably McKenzie. That girl is such a b---h. Oh, Mckenzie! Ohmaga, girl! Like, let's go party!"

26.Victoria - With a name like this, I would be a little misanthropic, really Southern, really traditional, and a little weird - but I wouldn't care.
