I call these names

In the spirit of Charlotte York, I call the following baby names:

Charlotte (my best friend from elementary school, not the SATC character)
Ella (after the singer, German origin)
Ananda (Sanskrit origins; ultimate bliss)
Felix (happy, fortunate)
Felicia (ditto)
Austen (after the writer)
Austin (after the city)
Variations of Frances, eg. Francesca, Francesco (after San Francesco d'Assisi)

Additional suggestions?

  1. I'm having problems with the boys' names. Nobody likes them much. I do want to add to the list Thelonious, after Monk, perhaps Theo for short. This is a name I like quite well.

  2. Oh, someone asked me if I would call my as-yet-hypothetical son Thelonious "The" for short. I will not. Besides, this person has a funny name too, only less funny now because he shares it (almost) with our president.

  3. I think you should add the name we talked about while waiting for Blake to teach us swing dance. I forgot what it was, but I'm hoping you remember. Was it short for Thelonious?
