and other ugly feminized names. I'm talking Gilbertine, Edwina, Ernestine, Geraldine, Ronalda, Donalda, Raimonda / Raymonde, Richardine, Benjamine, Jacoba and any others you can think of. Seriously though, which others can you think of? Even if you don't like them I'd like to hear them. I'm thinking of collecting. Also, which do you like?

I decided to love Keitha. My grandpa's name is Keith, and although Keitha looks weird, if you divorce the Keith association and just listen to the sound, I actually think it's okay. Sort of like a Scottish breath of air: "Kee-tha". Besides Keitha, I like Raymonde, Gilbertine, Geraldine, Ernestine, Benjamine, Jacoba, Petra (if this even counts) and Ramona just off the top of my head.

Now I'm wondering if my fantasy daughter that I'm not planning on having will hate me if I name her Keitha Gilbertine. Oy.

Oh, and also, I just have to toss Olivette out into the name-osphere. For no reason, other than I love it and never ever hear it anywhere. I can't believe I just typed name-osphere, but what else would you call it?

Thanks for your time!
