Helen: I think our really seriously thinking about names will help us. I like the name Kada, that is pretty. Wiley is a bit unusual, but guess I always think about Wiley Post when I hear that name. Frances is close to Francine.... I have been called Frances quite a bit, and I always make the correction for I, personally, like Francine better. I knew a girl once named Francile. My aunt gave me the name Francine for a friend of hers. My Mom read a book about an indian princess named Zenoma. I have also known a Zenobia. My grandchildren have names of today mostly. I guess the most unusual is Kelsey Francine. Then there is Haley Michele, Aaron Thomas, Jeffery Bernard (Bernard is demanded from his fathers side..... the oldest male has to have the name, and if the oldest is a girl it has to be Bernadette.... I'm glad they had a boy. My other two grandsons have very plain names, Brian Thomas and Erik Harold. The Thomas' are for my husband and their other grandpaws, the Harold for a great uncle. You know, the study of names could be very interesting. Wonder why you can't reach Victoria! Maybe she is busy moving out of the Washington area! I wouldn't blame her if she did! She said she really had a hard time concentrating for several days after all the plane hit the Pentagon. And the eerie quietness of no planes overhead was scary. That seemed strange here for we were in the outer pattern for landing at DFW and all of a sudden it was so quiet and has stayed pretty much that way. I think they made them move their landing pattern for they go further south now. Have a good day!
