There have been few events of such utter and horrifying magnitude as to
render me almost completely incapable of speech. Recently however,
something has come up that has nearly knocked the blathering straight the
fuck out of me. In fact after discovering this event, all I could really do
was turn an alarming shade of cold white and mutter….holy shit.
I’m not sure it’s cosmically a good thing, and there are a few signs
pointing at this event as a sign of the end times.
Merry Widow and I are havin’ a bebe’
An actual, flesh and blood critter…harbinger of doom, spawn of Dolo and
Merry…I’m thinking of calling it Merry Dolidow. I remember watching Schiz
muscle through her event like a sweet little bulldozer made out of iron and
sheer unadulterated guts. I really admire her tenacity and strength.
Particularly since right now I feel like all the fire is draining
completely out of me. I can’t even formulate the emotions I’m experiencing
right now, they blur in like a wet dog and mutate into a pot of burning
astro-turf before I can figure where to put them.
I think I’m happy, but worried…really worried. Eh.
It isn’t something I can’t handle though, I’m fairly sure of it. But holy
crap, I’m having a kid. I’m twenty-two, a drifter, a troublemaker and a
certified madman…my child is doomed to inherit my sense of humor, or at
least a reasonably twisted fascimily thereof. Hopefully it gets it’s momma’
smarts, cause god knows I can’t spare any.
I think the knews might have leaked out here and there, but I’m making the
formal declaration here ma’self. Damn, I might as well declare war on the
human race.
Babies are scary!
Fifteen sweaty rednecks with sawed-offs and an Oedipus complex are less
intimidating.
I’m cutting my time in Seattle ridiculously short because of this new
event, which seems like a total damn shame, because I was really starting
to love it, but I gots ta’ build a house and all.
The hardest part about the whole thing so far is trying to think up a good
name…for a boy I was figurin’ on William Grail, or maybe Zonk.
Girl-wise I always wanna go with something nifty like Violence, but I don’t
know if that’ll click.
I kinda wish we could’ve just got a cat, but what the hell…
You can’t teach cats to sing naked in front of your in-laws.
Just when I was getting bored…>sigh< Good thing the kid’s moms hot
huh?
I need names people! Names!

| Unfortunately I have no idea how you might go about finding a Welsh course
in America. Maybe there's something you can order from online? You do want
to get the tapes though, cause otherwise learning to pronounce stuff is a
nightmare. ____________________

I have a thing for languages, the quirkier the better. I've always LONGED
to learn welsh. Even though, as far as I know, I'm not a bit welsh. But I
have no clue how to find a welsh course. You know, with the little tapes
(or CD's) that make you repeat phrases and words over and over so you get
the accent. That would be soooo cool!
Whenever I read a book that has a welsh phrase in it, it always looks and
sounds like music to me. ____________________

Yes, I think so. I like the welsh language which is quite strange for
someone my age livijng in Wales. We're forced to learn the language, no
choice about it, so most people end up hating it. Rather sad that. They're
trying to keep the language alive, but the way they're going about it is
putting people off.  ____________________

I figured that book played around with pure fact a little. It was too
life-like for a strict history, but it gave a really good idea of how life
was for Henry V. No matter the origin, Gwenllian is still a lovely
name!
Gruffydd and Maredudd would be anglicized as Griffith and Meredith, right?

Gwenllian, who was the
daughter of Owen Glendower, Prince of Wales
Owain Glyndwr was the Prince of Wales, and fought against the invading
English. If he'd won we might still be our own country, as opposed to the
little bit of land tacked onto England!
He had six sons and seven daughters. The eldest son was Gruffydd followed
by Maredudd, Madog, Thomas, John and David. The daughters were Isabel,
Elizabeth, Janet, Margaret, Catherine, Jane and Alice - I think these are
English translations though, because I know that "Catherine" for one was
actually called Catrin.
Gwenllian was the Princess of Wales, and was the daughter of Llywelyn ap
Gruffydd, though she didn't play much of a role in history as after her
father was killed, King Edward condemned her to spent the rest of her life
locked away - 54 years in fact.
Just a bit more name information!

| Oh yeah, I just wanted to mention. When I was in the 10th grade, I was in
Utah. there was a boy there named Mark Justice. He always said that if he
ever had a little girl, he would name her Liberty Ann. My friends and I
picked on him until he cried. ____________________

Well, if the baby is a girl, which seems to be a running consensus amongst
the wise women in my world, her name will be Eva. It's a family name, and
the person who had it is nice and dead, so there won't be any confusion on
the holidays. Not only that, I have never run into another Eva in my life.
(Having said that, I'll meet three today.) All we need is a good middle
name. Something that rolls off the toungue as I'm yelling across the house.
I really like the name Gwenllian.
Still not sure about a boy name, though. And I want to have a good one
hanging around, just in case. If this kid takes after either parent, it's
not going to do what it's supposed to do. ____________________

Yay yay yay! Hip hip hooray! Dolo & Merry are having a baby! Dolo
& Merry are having a baby!!!!!
Here's to you, and hoping that your big event is the ONLY big event you
have to deal with for the next few months!
I'm so psyched that I'm not the only procreating Shmenglian anymore
(besides Meranda Jade and Rogue, but they got it over with before I came
around, so that's not the same!)
And I am SO FLATTERED that I got mentioned in your announcement! But don't
worry, you'll do fine. You've got plenty of iron and guts yourself, both
of you. Unfortunatly, that means that your kid will have it too. Although
it will stand the poor thing in good stead eventually, right around 1.5 or
2 years old, it can be a major pain in the ass! Hooray for strong-willed
children! *sigh*
Names... hmmmm...
I really, REALLY wanted to name my kiddo Gwenllian, who was the daughter of
Owen Glendower, Prince of Wales according to some book I read (I don't know
if it was historical fiction or not), and it means new moon.
Unfortunately, her daddy didn't go for it *boohoo*. Also Alys, which is
the welsh spelling of Alice. I like welsh names. Aranea too, which is
latin for spider, but much prettier. Actually, Alys Aranea together makes
a very nice name, unusual, but with a traditional enough feel not to get
picked on. And it would mean Spider of Light! How cool is that?
I always thought if I had a boy and girl set of twins they would be Zen and
Zoe.
I like Peregrine for a boy. Means pilgrim. But I'm afraid that everyone
would just think that I was stealing it from the Lord of the Ring movies,
since that's Pippin's real name. But I wouldn't be. I'd be stealing it
from the book! I was a LOR fan loooooong before short actors put on
prosthetic feet and ears. So there!
It's only 5:45 in the morning right now, so I'm running out of inspiration.
Anyway, I'm sure you'll come up with something awesome all by yourselves!
I can't wait to hear it! ____________________

Dead-Cell: I agree that a baby names thread would seriously rock the
casbah, especially if there are any other people out there expecting
hellspawn of their own.
Merry Widow, Dolorosa, what do you think?

Squid I can beat your "Yogert" with name of people I have met like:
Orange Jello and Lemon Jello (brothers)
Taffrica (origins unknown)
Other names I have come across:
Will Powers (engraved on a tomb stone)
Ima Hogg and Ura Hogg (sisters of a wealthy family in the 1920's)
A kid with the name Tubal-Cain would probably never be arrested, but would
have some bad days at recess. Lucifer is good to but you could shorten it
to Luce (sounds like "loose" not Lucy). Should probably start a name
thread.

Oh jesus, the last thing we need is a million little Dolorosas running wild
like a fucking plague upon the masses. Here's hoping the wee one takes
after Merry with a good dose of what we all enjoy about Dolo.
As for names, I agree to some extent with both Bettie AND Mono. Yoo SHOULD
give a creative name to yor children but for christ's sake... well, I once
knew a kid named "Yogurt." Need I say more?
Of course if yoo want to go with normal names, I suggest yoo be creative
about them, for example, I know a guy who's first name is Arthur but his
middle name is Pendragon.
Boy's names I've always liked were:
Valentino (which is what I'm probably going to name my first male wee one
if I'm not carfeul)
Christ (yes, I'm serious, I LOVE the idea of having to be legally referred
to as "Christ," or better yet, "Christ Our Lord and Savior" plus if the kid
doesn't like it he can just call himself "Chris")
Osiris
Apophis
Damien (cheesy I know but I've always loved it)
Thutmose (could also be Thutmes, thutmeses, tahuti-mes, etc.)
Thoth
Hermes Trismegistus
Merlin
Odin
Lucifer (also cheesy, and I know that Merry will never go for it but
still)
Hiram (which can be quite pretty depending on his last name)
Tubal-Cain
Power (seriously, my grandmother had a brother named Power)
Great girl's names include:
Rosetta
Nuit
Isis (seeing a pattern yet?)
Diana
Hecate
Luna
Lilith (also cheesy but come one, Lilith was fucking AWESOME)
Nehema
and one other that I will not state here because it's so beautiful I don't
want anyone else to steal it ____________________
i wanted to die, and then it progressed into wanting everyone else to
die so i could watch, and then me die.

I think the worst thing I could do is see a word written on a test tube in
the hospital, and decide to name my kid that, bringing the poor bastard
into the world with the name syphilis. A friend of mine had an in-law who
did that.
I'm thinking maybe going into the delivery with a small arsenal of names,
and then settling on one when I can actually see my kid. ____________________

Heh heh, you guys are rock.
Lots of awesome ideas, and I'm seriously bouncing them around, when I grab
the right one, I'll know it.
Consequently...sprog is a fucking awesome idea, and earlier I was thinking
of Revolting Charles.
In reality though, the name Colt is still shiny, and today I was thinking
about Zen...but, I'm pretty determined not to give the kid a silly
name...nor give them an immenently forgettable name.
My roots say to give the kid a strong spirit name though...eh,
If only the hardest part about kids were the names ya?
haha...waaaaaaah!

just don't name your child Hollie,,,, they will never hear the end of it...
I guarantee it... I've lived with that name all my life and only now at age
18 has it finally, for the most part, stopped being made fun of.  ____________________
