Hey, thanks for the greetings, guys. As soon as the drugs wear off (ever feel as though your brain was wrapped in cotton wool?) I'll try to add something coherent here. Freedom from the hospital and people bursting into your room asking "How do we feel?" at 3:25 in the morning is just about all I can ask for right now. :wink:

Yes take care Moira, at least they've let you home so that you can recover from being in hospital. Here's to a unbroken nights sleep and hopefully you'll feel more yourself.

I love looking at the name lists. Ours too are split into traditional names and names from more recent times. Emily, Grace and Alice are really popular here, Alice being both my Grandmothers Christian names and seeming so old fashioned when I was growing up, some names like Elizabeth and Emma always seen to have been in the list somewhere. Traditional boys names have come back to Thomas, James and Oliver are really popular. When I was growing up all there seemed to be lots of Davids, Andrews and Martins, there's not one in Joe's school. I found it easier to name a girl, thee seemed to be more choice and we agreed on more names, with a boy it was harder, we only agreed on Joseph, my main objection being that for everything Chris suggested one of my friends already had a boy of that name, silly really but seemed important at the time.

My bride won't be too happy to hear about the status of "Carol."

It is nice to have the SSO back.

So glad to visit the SSO, old Building and Loan pals. This is my home away from home.

What about the name Octavia(My grandmother's name) and Delaney(A sweet auntie)? And Bess(A another sweet auntie)? And Fanny? (My other grandmother's name.) I even had an aunt named Tennessee who was nicknamed Tennie for short.
