Ear to the Ground: Local Kids

by You Can't Call It "It"! on July 31, 2009

Alice Neel Girlfriends

Overall, I’m loving the boys’ names more lately.  More people taking chances, and those risks pay off with the likes of Lemuel, Cortez, Augustine and Soren if you ask me.  Not really fond of Pepsi though, poor child.  Theota was new to me.  Her parents are German and this may be related to Theodora, though I can’t confirm.

Anemone – how refreshing. Not sure how it would play out in real life, but I like the idea of it.

Finnegan James is a wonderful combination. Love Elliott on a boy, as well as Enzo.

Anemone! I always got tongue-tied saying this word as a kid, and I’m not much better now! :)

Those really are some great boy names (Pepsi aside – No they didn’t!). I love twins Max and Lucy also Cormac and Orla. Lucky kids.

Pepsi! They could have at least named the child Coca-Cola! / poor coke-lover joke

Lemuel is a wicked man in the Book of Mormon. Not probably one that a Mormon would choose.
