Why do songs that I haven't heard recently pop in my head all of a sudden? And why do they fight one another? "You've lost that lovin' fifty-third and third, I'm tryin' to turn just another manic peel back the foreskin of liberty . . ." Gah.

I haven't been able to get to sleep lately because I can't think of a common name in the United States that's as long or longer than my first name. I like my name fine, but it takes forever to sign a check or a credit-card receipt. What names are longer than Christopher? I can't think of any. Alexander? A paltry nine letters. Poindexter? Only ten. Beauregard? Ten again. Who can come up with one? And don't gimme nothing hyphenated like Thelma-Hortense.

This morning I dreamed that I was in high-school journalism class. It was Wednesday, the day when we normally watched a video. (?!) But instead of putting in a tape, Mrs. Templeton handed me a telephone and dialed a number. Some girl answered and told me that she and her friend were tripping balls. I laughed and talked with her for a few minutes and finally closed with, "OK, talk to you later . . . Lover." I've no idea what that was all about.

Clytemnestra beats it...but I doubt many parents would name their child Clytemnestra.

Yeah, that's got to be one of the ugliest names ever. For some reason, though, it reminded me of Nebuchadnezzar, which also works!

[mipplet.livejournal.com]

I thought of that, too!

And Wallingford ties it...but I've only known one person with that name.

ohmygosh, you just reminded me that in my dream last night a woman was telling me that i had no self-confidence as a kid because my name was so soft and difficult to pronounce. not that "angela" is terribly complex, but that "ng" combination really does act like a speedbump in the middle.

i have no idea why that was a part of my dream. but i did wake up pissed at my parents for not giving me a name with punch. hm.

Whoa, strange dream! I never thought of the "ng" as a roadblock before, but now, every time I see the name Angela, I'm gonna think angle-uh.

glancing at the government's top 100 baby names, christopher is indeed the longest. names seem to be no more than 3 syllables, and "chris" is a whole lot of letters for one syllable.

"You've Lost That Lovin' Fifty-third and Third" is my favorite Beck song.

What can you rearrange the letters in your name to spell? That's the real question that should be plaguing you at night. My full name spells out "Anal Weeds Airlines". That is awesome.

I had weird dreams last night too but I won't bore you with them. Lover.

Cheeky monkey. That's a last name! :P

I don't know, but my dad always told me if I'd have been a boy he would have named me Chehawdiasis. That's a phonetic spelling, of course, I've never actually heard of someone named that, and I have no idea where he got it.
