Is Russia Burning?

I named my first daughter Odessa and my second daughter Blaze and i have gotten wonderful comments from parents at school and work.

Could it be because all the parents at school and work are ALSO Louisiana strippers?


Odessa. Nothing like a kindergartener named after a deeply impoverished Ukrainian town sniffing distance from Chernobyl and home to one of the worst pogroms of the Holocaust. How ’bout Dachau if it’s a boy?

Nw/oMH makes NY Debut! In a Bowery bar!

Pretty pics of candles and purses will be shown at the Remote Lounge March 21, 2003, as part of the show Women of Virtue (yeah, yeah, so why am I included, ha ha, very funny). It is set to include infinitely more classy and serious work by Elizabeth Anderson, Allison White, Sujin Lee,Flame Schon, and Kristin Anderson.

Remote is at 327 Bowery between 2nd and 3rd and sounds like a high-concept kick in the pants even if it weren’t displaying my stuff, with cameras and monitors all over the place so you can spy on people at the other end of the bar. 

No cover before 10 p.m. and I love you long time if you go and start a whispering campaign about Nw/oMH. (Something like, “Oh, I saw her work in Paris last season. The tickets cost me a fortune! They were sure lucky to get her!”)

(Post-script: Secret operatives at the show said it was great and Nw/oMH stuck out like a high-concept, glamourous sore thumb. Mission accomplished, then!)

Spooky

Thazel is a name I’ve wanted to use for either a boy or a girl. Is that name too weird? It’s a combination of my grandmothers who pasted away just three weeks apart. (Thelma and Hazel)

“So where’d you get that interesting name, Thazel?”
“A string of mysterious tragedies. Now I’m haunted by two bickering old ladies from far beyond the grave.”
“Oh, that’s nice.”

Clear Heels

Also like these but probably won’t use:
Kylah Elizabeth, Kaylee Madicyn, Kelsee Myriah

How ’bout Kaylee Madi-SIN, so she can become a featured stripper at the Lusty Lady?

Flawless Reasoning

I think it’s good to name your baby a name different from anyone else baby, because there is so many people who have the same name your baby have or it’s very difficult. Also, it’s hard to name your baby a different name, because when you think that no-one have that name there will be someone who have the same name your baby have when think you have named your baby different. so, you really can’t have any name that’s different from anyone unless it’s something made up.

Judging from this entry, I think this person named their child, “Have.”

Appropriate

Hello everyone! Im 15 weeks pregnant and I know I have a lot of time to think on a name, however, the father of the baby is no longer around, I have two older sons whos names are Aaron James, and Andrew
Michael… no I didnt at the time had one thought that they both started with “A’s”. But since so many think so would like to name this next child with an “A” name. I have found: Alyssa, Alexia, Alea, Abigail that I like. Last imput from father of baby was..”going to break the cycle of the “A” name thing….Ugh! Men! What do you think, any good advice for me?
Would like something not so common. Help!

Ugh! Men! Obviously the thing you should be most annoyed with right now is that he thinks you shouldn’t give it a theme name because people make mistaken assumptions about the process by which you named the other kids! Not that that’s the last thing he said before skipping out on your pregnant ass. No, that’s not so bad. But Ugh! Men!

Update! Reader Timothy puts a nice fine point on it: “Though Alexia sounds like a pretty name for a girl… alexia is actually an inability to read, caused by brain damage.”


So maybe she should another A name. Something pretty. Like Amnesia.

Not Ready for This Jelly

I just found out that I am expecting a baby girl! While I have a boys name picked out (Guillermo junior, after his daddy…for backup, lol, cause those doctors arent always right!) I’m debating between a few girls names. Tell me what you think.
Lorelei Jakarta (yes i know its an indonesian city but i think its exotic)
Beyonce Noelle
Heaven Starr

Yes. Exotic. As exotic as martial law. Meanwhile, in your madness you’ve gone and concocted one of the best Playmate names ever.

You know, we never would have known the origin of Guillermo Jr. if she hadn’t explained – IT’S AFTER HIS FATHER. HIS FATHER!!!!! It’s so funny, I’ll LOL.
