From the depths of the dreaded name book...

Wasn't sure where this should go, but I guess this'll work. Smile

So, in the front of the name book I bought ages ago, there's a ton of lists, with 15 names for each gender under each topic...Some are pretty awful (though I don't mind quite a few), but I figured I'd see what BNW thought!
Just the girls names in this topic (though a lot seem like they should be on boys)...might make one with the boys later.
Sorry for any repeats - I just did a quick job reading through to see if I left any in.

My faves in bold

Not so Seaweed. I'd have to give the award to Swoopes or Frolic.

Whoever wrote this book doesn't seem to understand that babies aren't puppies.
