apparently, no one in the South hates the name Braylee because there are 5 in my cousins elementary class. I like it, but I think of a donkey braying.
I love names
And have been carefully planning the names of my future children since I was a little girl. Unfortunately, people expect you not just to name a baby but keep it and raise it. I teach Remedial 9th grade English at my school, and while I love my students with every fiber of my being, many of them are difficult, to say the least. I believe I am a kind and effective teacher for them because I don't have to go home and take care of anyone else (my husband, for the most part, takes care of me more than I take care of him). When we began dating, I found out my husband was anti kids but had consented to have one if that's what I wanted. I started dating him right when I first became a teacher, and I the startling revelation one day towards the end of my first semester as a teacher, that there was no way I could be a good mom (because I would want to be a really good Mom, a homemade Halloween costume kind of Mom) and be a good teacher.
At first, it was upsetting when I realized that, because I have wanted to be a teacher for most of my life, and I have been planning baby names since I was young. Then it occurred to me that if I have one or two kids, I can make an impact in their lives, and then they could go out into the world and change it, OR I can be a teacher and have the potential to affect a much higher level of change. I would also get to do awesome stuff like travel, smoke weed, and go work at life-changing summer programs.
(this is quickly becoming a discussion post for my grad classes! I'm ridiculous, but I love to tell stories well) In conclusion, I have so many baby names that I love that I will never use! I actually gave my best friend my number 1 baby name when she had her little girl last December. I wasn't ever going to use it, and in a way, she named her baby after me because my name is Mae Rose. Her daughter's name is Harper Rose, which is one of the biggest honors I've ever had.
(just tacking this on at the end to keep from making this post longer because holy fuck, I need to be doing my homework instead of writing a dissertation on baby names) Also, I am a writer who never has time to write so that I can use the names for that. Some of my current favorites
Alice and Celia for twin girls (anagrams)
Lucille, call her Lucy or Celie
Eudora, because it is just magnificent
boy names aren't as much fun for me, but I like strong and classic
Samuel/Sampson/Sam
John
Alexander

Vinnie is a great name.
If Bitesize was a boy we were gonna name her that. Because fuck it.
That was actually the reason. We couldn't think of anything. I was fighting REAL hard for "Ganondorf" and the GF just would not have it.

If I'd had another girl then I would have gone with Emily. It's a name I've always liked.

Grandpa's older brother was named Adolf and it was his grandfather's middle name.
He was a test pilot in the US Army Air Forces and died on the job.
