Amanda the Great by Amanda El-Dweek for December 19, 2023

Sobekemsaf sounds good.

Btfsplk.

Lemmy is a great name, assuming it’s after Mr. Kilmister.

name game…

I’m so glad we had this talk.

My St. Francis lost a hand. I have given him a hook.

Yes, you are: You are good at pithiness, and both cartoon strips and names are pithy.

Your lawn ornament is a really good listener.

Wonderful slice of Life.

Amanda, I worry you’re not keeping your head covered.

One name to consider, really, think about it: Shemp!

I don’t recommend the name Tammy, Rebekah, Beth, Megan.. are nice names

I’m good with naming animals. I don’t think I would have been allowed to name children. Eleanor Katherine for a girl (EllieKat for a nick name). My niece was complaining about her name once, and I told her what my suggestion was. She immediately went over to her mom and hugged her saying that her given name was the best ever.

Lola? What Lola wants… etc. Well, perhaps better suited to a cat.

I’m in for Anneliese. Though it may be hard for some, with it being close to Amanda?

My wife’s grand dad was named Angus. Angus from Aberdeen. He was one of Mr Churchill’s “few.”

Angus, strong true Scots name, but unfo I would think way too many people would immediately think of Angus beef. The whims of society and history can really mess up your name choices…think of how few people nowadays would name their kid what was a perfectly fine Germanic name, Adolf.
