That's why I renamed myself on blogger.<br />Very fun post, Joe!<br />♥♥♥Priti Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06387174904054579172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807994396764212014.post-76882569825892889022012-03-27T18:46:30.226-07:002012-03-27T18:46:30.226-07:00My name is now 763rd on the list but it was high u...My name is now 763rd on the list but it was high up when I was born. One of my favorite things when I had to be on the phone a lot at work was to run into another Susan. I never talked to one I didn't like.<br /><br />It's great you have such a wonderful time with your grandchildren. I think a lot of kids are smarter faster now is because they have to be. You and I grew up in a slower time and I'm sure we're both glad we did.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807994396764212014.post-15574973406016207592012-03-26T19:12:37.950-07:002012-03-26T19:12:37.950-07:00I have a first name that no one can spell or prono...I have a first name that no one can spell or pronounce [when they see it] they are forever adding in an i to make it a y sound at the end or a c that isn't even there. It is aggravating, but the fact is it isn't a made up name, it just happens to be the french spelling of my name and it isn't spelled phonetically like so many names are so people just dumb down when they try to say, read or spell it.<br /> <br />I tried to name our kids family names [old, established type names] but I am amazed at how many people will ask me to spell [just an example, not my son's name] "Tim".<br /> <br />And our last names? Sigh. It's all good tho' - after all these years it has come to be expected, so we wait for it and then laugh.<br /> <br />I love the relationship you have with your grandkids. I so loved my grandparents and was happy that we spent every Sunday at their farm when I was growing up [5-17]. It really helped make me who I am today. I hope I can be as cool a grandma as you are a grandpa. :)<br /> <br />Have a good night. Hope you sleep well.SkippyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479661523059481730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3807994396764212014.post-9160890469091827612012-03-26T10:12:01.621-07:002012-03-26T10:12:01.621-07:00I think Joe is lowish on the list because there ar...I think Joe is lowish on the list because there aren't so many people naming their kids Joe now - it's an "older" name. It will probably be revived when your grandkids have kids.<br /><br />I was surprised that my name was 58th. I'm pretty sure it's no where near that popular here in Canada. Most Jeans are in my mother's generation. I've only met about 4 contemporaries in my entire life. And I think we all get called Jeannie.Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320507412459242451noreply@blogger.com
