Riddle me CHAT..It's all JOHN'S FAULT!!!

[Boo'sMom]

okay...complete run down:


Patrick (DH's middle name) Ryan (we liked it and it was irish)
Andrew (my best friend growing up who died at 18) Jason (my brother)
Meghan (again, we liked it and it was irish...actually DH wanted Siobanne....NO)Laura (my grandmother)

 

[Lars624]

Actually my names are both family names............
Laura(my mom's sister) Ellen (my paternal Grandma)

 

[paras4ri]

Taking it a step further.....

If Matt had been a girl he would have been Jenna Elizabeth
If Elizabeth had been a boy she would have been Brian Anthony

If I had been a boy I would have been Mark Anthony

and DH....well, he was "the best mistake his parents ever made!"

 

[Boo'sMom]

okay another for the "Six common names among the three of us"

My middle name is Gail....(for my aunt)
I didn't have a name for the first three days...my mother wanted me to be "Jennifer" and my dad had a thing for Stephanie Powers....guess who won that one....
funny thing is...a LOT of people call me Jennifer....LOL....no clue why....

 

[Lars624]

I was almost Tammy.............I just don't think I look like a Tammy...I'm glad Mom & Dad changed their minds

My DH is Matthew Eugene Eugene is FIL's first name. I was NOT going to give Eugene to any of my kids!!! That's why Dylan got Joseph as his middle name...FIL is Eugene Joseph

 

[Boo'sMom]

can't lay claim to any Eugenes in my family..
but for "names I wouldn't pass on to my kids" we CAN claim:
Victor
Elsie
Myrtle
Archie

and in the interest of future generations....we now have:

Gunner
Major
Sunrise
Asia
Zigmus
(do you think my DH's family <and they are all HIS side> did drugs????)

 

[paras4ri]

It was never even questioned why our daughter has neither of her grandmother's names..........Muriel and Dahlia!

 

[Boo'sMom]

well ladies, I'm off to bed...
DH was called into work, so I at least have the bed to myself
but the bad side is I'll have the bed to myself LOL


Talk to you all in the morning!

 

[paras4ri]

I realize everyone has gone to bed but I still need to whine....

There's a winter storm headed to New York for Friday.......

 

[Lars624]

Oh Gail I hope that they are wrong about the storm I'll keep my fingers crossed that it changes directions or lessens in severity so it won't put a damper on your weeend.

Zigmus

?????that one I've never heard of??????
NOw that I think about it, I'm not sure I've heard of Major either..........hmmmm interesting......

Other family names I wouldn't give my kids........
Maudeway too many Bea Arthur thoughts come with that one
June
Mildred
Cloyd
Vitalis

 

[Boo'sMom]

Morning


Ziggy.....is a great kid.....saddled with an awful name....but it's kinda funny....he looks like a ziggy...

 

[Lars624]

ROTFLOL!

You need to add a Riddlecon countdown to your siggy

 

[paras4ri]

I had a roommate in college who loved Ziggy....I think she even named her car Ziggy...I haven't seen him in a long time - thanks!

 

[paras4ri]

I need to hit 1700 posts today!

 

[Breezy_Carol]

Not many to go Gail.

I propose a Stay in and watch the snow Party here today. I will bring the hot chocolate and marshmellows.

Of course, I will have to take a break at 10 to watch ER.

 

[paras4ri]

I'll be packing tonight but I'll check in....as well as stop to watch ER.

Carol - please post when it starts snowing in MD so I can track this darn storm!

 

[love the magic]

At this point they'er not calling for the snow to start here in the boros until after midnight....supposedly snowing through the night and ending in the afternoon... I'm keeping an eye on the advisories, so if I hear anything different, I'll let you know!



Go for the 1700!!!!

 

[paras4ri]

[Breezy_Carol]
