Match nails!

You know, I always thought that hardcore fans of the show were people who haven't quite grown the fuck up.

Am I the only person who feels like The Knowles-Carter camp leaked this neatly packaged story to get people to settle down and stop asking questions?

Lest we forget Alannah Myles. Anyone? No? *crickets*

I don't really have a dog in this fight except to say that having a Creative Writing degree and having a Lit degree are very different. I have a lit degree and while I could easily write you a ten page analytic paper, I'm absolute crap at CW.

This. And I think giving space for people to own up to past ignorance is important. Remember that Kim Kardashian has her own audience, and it's probably not this one. It may look like "baby steps" from where we sit, but it may not be "baby steps" for an audience that follows Kim's every move and looks up to her as a…

I think it's difficult for most people to admit their ignorance the way that Kim Kardashian has with regard to racism. I don't understand the instinct to mock someone for this. Thinking that these issues are everyone else's problem is not actually that uncommon, especially for this generation. So good for her for…

And then there was Steeve from A la Recherche de la Nouvelle Star: never have I been so embarrassed of my name (although I am more economical with my vowels)...

Agnès is one of those names that sounds lovely in French, but horrid in English. Old names come back in style when there are too many Jennifers and Jessicas (as you know, both very popular in France, too). I'd love to meet a little Auguste or Jacqueline (unfortunately, Madeleine had been destroyed by the little…

I love the idea that you're trolling them! I've got a Charlotte (9), Jack (not original at all, 7) and a Hudson (after my side of the family, 5). I'm trolling all the Jaydens and kaydeens with characters from Lost.

There is nothing wrong with Madeleine. But Madelynn is fucked up.

I'd never heard of Maxence, but Marie-Neige I am familiar with. Like in Portuguese, where it seems that starting with Maria gives you the freedom to add a whole lot of WTF after it, if you put a Marie and hyphenate, you are good to go.

Aw, I loved living in Corsica. I won't dox myself by identifying where I lived (tiny place), but the people were lovely and very accepting of me. It is a beautiful place with a complicated history.

Johnny Halliday!!! hahaha ahhh. Amazing.

You can't even brag about your super French husband "Steve".

Not as bad as Kévin. *shudder*

As one familiar with The Corsican Brothers, I understand.

I'm in Brittany and of the 5 or so babies born since I moved here they all have old school Breton names like Gaelle and Yann. I can rarely tell the sex from hearing the name. They are crazy traditional baby namers in the northwest. I love the names Uma and Mia.

I did a French exchange with my class and like four of the French girls were named Aurélie. So weird to see that it was a country-wide trend.

I like how Corsica is just like, "Fuck all y'all, we're good with our four names."
