My generation, it seemed like everyone was named Jessica or Jennifer or Heather.
I am Kate. One syllable. And it's done. I always wanted one more syllable.
I was a Jennifer while in the womb. Thank goodness they changed their minds.
I was supposed to be Andrea, then Andrew - all the while my father really wanted me to be named after him.
The story I am told is that when I was delivered, I promptly began marking territory in this brave, new world - peeing all over errybody and into all corners of the delivery room. My mother began shouting for my father to do something about the arcing streams of urine: "JOE! JOE! JOE!"
My father, grinning from ear to ear, turned to the nurse and quietly said: "You heard the lady - boy's name is Joe. Write it down."
My sister's name is Jeraca, and my brother is Tejay. My parents pretty much just made their names up.
As for my own children, I'm partial to Koan and Jade, though I do like Felix as well. Felix sounds like a classy motherfucker.

Autumn was not a common name when I was young. Children would tease me about it. It was annoying. My sister had a different spelling for her name, but she did not get harassed like I did.
Stopped in Subway on the way home from work and while ordering my sub a man comes in completely covered in blood screaming for someone to call 911 and get him a towel. I call 911 and eventually try to calm him down. He had been stabbed outside in the parking lot, wound on his chest and on his hand. Completely crazy and scary scene.
Damn, I thought my day was terrible. It sure beats getting stabbed in a parking lot.

Yeah, one-syllable names tend to get stuck in the throat. My bastard two-syllable-named brother said it's too easily mistaken for a cough or a throat clearing - which would be funnier if it weren't so true. My legal name does have two syllables - but unfortunately, that's about the only way I prefer it to my chosen name.
I like seeing the old names come back. I saw a great website for this not long ago. You could enter a name, and it would chart its popularity over time - or enter a year, and see the top names. Pretty much everybody in the '70s was called Jennifer.
I started the hiring process today by posting the job opening and I have to hire 5-6 new people by the beginning of classes, which is the most I've ever had to hire at once. I also started searching through the Student Unions online application system where students can apply for all Union jobs, mostly because my main boss is the one who is in charge of it and she always encourages me to use not because I think there is any chance I will actually find someone on there.
It did deliver in one way though with the replacement of "I can't work before noon because I like sleeping in" as my favorite line in an application with "I am in serious financial need because my parents just informed me that they are cutting me off".
i knew four other brittany marie's growing up. i had classes in school with up to FIVE brittany's in there. i feel like my sisters got way luckier with karmen and angela.

Nobody had my name growing up, which is funny because my brothers were Josh and Zach, each of whom grew up in times when those names were extremely popular. (Case in point, my husband is the same age as Josh, and is also named Josh.) The only Hillary I knew of growing up was an old man. And the first other Hilari I knew of was not until college. Incidentally, I still remember the first time someone asked if I was named after Hillary Clinton.
If we had had children, we were going to name a girl Gretchen Calliope and a boy Wiley Thomas.
Because I found the philosophy, doctrine, and teachings not only matched up with my personal beliefs, but also that adhering to them helped me become a happier person.
How can you be a happier person when you don't even exist?
he probably exists more fully. do you know anything about Buddhism?

I got called "Monica Lewinski" all through 4th grade into middle school. People thought it was sooooooo funny, even though we had no concept of what had happened. Then when we got older it was fun to call me it again because suddenly we all knew what blow jobs were..... Ever since, I don't particularly like my name.
Kids are the worst.
If I ever have kids (that's a strong IF) I like Iris, Piper, & Quinn for girls, and Sagen, Jackson, & Finn for boys.

"And what is the nothingness awareness-release? There is the case where a monk, with the complete transcending of the dimension of the infinitude of consciousness, [perceiving,] 'There is nothing,' enters & remains in the dimension of nothingness. This is called the nothingness awareness-release.

How can you be an unhappier person when you don't even exist? How can you be a person when you don't even exist? Your question both assumes personhood in the subject and then denies it in the predicate. Could you perhaps reword it in a way that doesn't contradict itself ontologically?

From now on I shall call you Kay-tell. K-TEL for those of you alive in the 70s.
I wiki'ed and came up with the company that started "As Seen On TV" products and also, "noted for its compilation music albums, such as The Super Hits series, The Dynamic Hits series and The Number One Hits series. It is also known for "The Record Selector," "The Micro-Roast," "The Tote-a-Tune portable stereo," and many other products." Some call K-Tel the Spotify of the '70's.
Cool. I will gladly be Kay-tell. It reminds me of pray tell, which is one of my old ridiculous phrases people hate to hear. Thank you, Hobgoblin.

Gretchen is a bad ass name except no one wants to share with me on the these new coke bottles. or have my name on those pens at the gift shop
Did you mean that as a tongue-in-cheek acknowledgement that Buddhism sensibly allows opposing dualities to coexist, or did you mean that its apparent self-negation renders it nonsensical or otherwise impractical?
We can take this to the philosophy thread if you'd like (or we can discontinue it completely); I'm just a bit of a Buddhism nerd and I like to demonstrate loving-kindness by yelling loudly about metaphysical minutiae.
