Oh Jackie, i wanted to name my daughter Gwendalynn-- and my ex veto'd it. since i had gone along with his choice of a name for a son.. i was annoyed, and press him Why? Unfortunately, he came up with such a good reason, i had to agree.. last name Griffin.. Gwendalynn Griffin could easily become GG (Gee Gee!) yucK! i tend to dislike nickname-- or at least nicknames that other impose.. Now that he is an adult, my son has some of friends call him Ben... but when he was a kid, some adults tried to stick him with Benjie .. and i found Gee Gee to be just as bad! so i have an Emily..


my other obsession
