OMG I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES I HAD THAT CONVERSATION.

It’s also my middle name, and in the States at least, we do re-GEEna, which is a relief and the reason I am glad I don’t like in the UK.

My mom was born in Germany, where they pronounce Regina with a hard “g” and the “-ina” part sounds like “eena”. It’s a beautiful name with that pronunciation.

If the next sign says Saint, they were definitely there!

I still wanted them to name her Dawn— Hear me out, it’d be a homage to Donda, it’s monosyllabic like they like, and they’re always claiming to be “revolutionaries” or whatever, and what’s more revolutionary than daybreak?

I know a family where the second daughter is named after the first daughter’s best friend. Mom and dad couldn’t agree on a name, and precocious little preschooler was all like, “What about [full first and last name]? She’s my best friend.” Mom and dad were like, okay, we’ll skip the part about using someone else’s…

Worse, it’s the narcissist’s “thoughts and prayers”, because it implies that you can be healed and helped by an image of that person’s pet. Who needs real solutions, have you seen my cute dog??

It’s basically the “thoughts and prayers” of the internet commentariat.

I agree too. There’s a time and a place. I’m even fine with one-off posts. But this every day thing, at the top of the comments, is actually drowning out real conversations. Save it for SNS or a personal blog.

This is where my mind goes. Like this: Chicago West! A travel production of your favorite musical, on tour this spring throughout California, Oregon, and Washington! Get your tickets now!

I don’t know. You could think of it as an instruction for her when she gets older. Or a weird cry for help.

When my husband and I were naming our child, we were able to veto the other’s name suggestions. For example, for a boy, my husband liked the name Lawrence. VETO. I liked Love for a middle name for a girl. VETO. In the end we came to a name that we both really liked. I can’t even recall who suggested it because we both…

When I was 4, I wanted to name my baby sister “Flower Girl” (my parents actually did end up naming her “Lily”).

He is from suburb.

Yeah, I feel like this name would be really confusing on, say, and Amtrak ticket from NYC to Chicago.

In one article, I saw that North wanted to name her baby sister Star. I never thought I’d find a case where I’d go “Hmm, maybe they should have gone with the name from the 4-year old.”

I think he must really love suburbs.

West Chicago is also an actual city, which I guess I would say is weird but whatever, I lost all sense of normalcy a year ago.

It’s a cute Metra stop, though:

Trump’s endgame is to make money for himself and his friends. The endgame of those around him (in the Republican Party - allies and those advising him) is to ride the wave / fan the flames of chaos in order to pass laws that allow them to gain more power, more control, and more money at the expense of the American…
