Lately, I've been compiling a list of girl's names in my head that I like. Noteworthy - in the fact that previously I have never been especially drawn to any girl's names. Curiously enough, I've also been focusing less on boy's names.

Mind you, having daughters still scares me, but not as badly. So maybe I'm getting even better, who knows.

Just for fun (i.e., so I don't forget), I thought I'd share some of the names I've liked with all of you. What names do you think are nice?

Girls:
Veronica
Victoria
Laurie
Elizabeth
Suzanne
Diana
Georgia
Isabelle
Olivia
Gloria
Claire (this was the first one I realized I liked for girls. This list is notably shorter than the boys. But there are a surprising number of girl's names I like.)

Boys:
Fitzwilliam (I am still dead serious about this one)
Regular ol' William, shortened Bill.
Noel
Jack
Robert
Ryan
Jason
Alexavier (still serious)
Alexander (I actually like this is one a little more than Alexavier)
James (I'm not sure why I'm partial to this, I have never really liked it before. Oh well!)
Joshua
Grant
Ashley (people will laugh, but this is originally a boy's name and I think it's terrific! Wouldn't give to a girl, but I would for a boy)
Leslie (see above. Not a favorite, but I like it)
Amador
Brett
Brennan
Victor
Joseph
Kyle
Peter
Paul
Samuel
Seth
Thomas
Luke
(I didn't realize how many guy's names I liked until I really sat down and thought about it....)

I would like to note I made none of these up, they have been collected through years of sifting through baby names site for various RPGs and stories. I know, I'm crazy. And totally unapologetic.

And that's the news from Lake Woebegone (I will cry if no one gets that).

Well, it carries such an important message, I couldn't help not to.

Yeah, I live in Oregon but go to school in Washington! I'm actually working in southern Washington, too, now that I think about it.

Because unlike today's world, dead actors had talent and class.

Famous actor from the 1950s, very handsome, died in the 1980s. He starred in some really classic films such as Sunset Boulevard, Stalag 17, Sabrina, Bridges at Toko Ri, Bridge on the River Kwai, the Wild Bunch, Executive Suite, Network, S.O.B., Rachel and the Stranger and several other good - and bad - movies. He's on the Top 100 greatest actors of all time list at #25 and won an Oscar for Stalag 17 and was nominated two other times. That is your mini-ramble on Mr. William F. Holden!

The biography's okay, only that it's less biography, more strung-together-anecdotes. But it's called "Golden Boy: the Untold Story of William Holden." I think it's out of print, but you can get it for cheap on amazon!

Ive had a mad crush on him since I first saw him in "Sabrina" :giggle: It's too bad the biography wasnt any good, I only have two pages on him in this book I've got called "The 50 most unforgettable actors of the studio era: leading men" :(

omg, William Holden was my personal crush all summer.

I am so glad to meet a fellow fan!

I got a biography on him this summer, the only one available, but it wasn't terribly good.
