There is a kid in Dude's class named Dresden. His older sister is Berlin. Why did they name them both after German cities? Were they conceived there or something? This is a mystery that bugs me. I hope you don't judge me for naming my cats after cities (Denver and Boston), but...cats.

I have many random thoughts from this thread.
I love Persephone. Great Choice. Maybe Persephone Elise, Persephone Adele, or Persephone Marie?
I LOVE Opehlia. That and Octavian are guilty pleasure names for me. Bring on the O names.
Veda/Vada instantly makes me think of My Girl (sniff). NMS but I don't think there's anything wrong with it.
I like Noel/Noelle, Chance, Dahlia, Lydia, Augustus (boy name choice), Dominic, Theodore.
Arlo makes me think of Guthrie, perhaps because 80 yo in my heart.
I hate the movie The Good Dinosaur, not because of violence/death, because I thought it was really dumb. The entire premise, the animation, the stupid story, everything.
Maebe (or maybe Maybe?) was the name of the girl from Arrested Development.
I hated the book Gone Girl too. It was horrible. The characters were effing insufferable. The movie was like a Lifetime movie. I like Lifetime movies when they are Lifetime movies, not when they are actually on the big screen.

Dresden...? As in the town where the nazi’s made their ammunition and from which of trains made their way east and to concentration camps? The town which in return was obliviated by allied forces? Weird. One and the same. I was talking to Pete about this the other night. He's like, "why are they Germanocentric?" Me: I don't know? They're Mexican... This made me laugh.

Gus reminds me of the mouse in Cinderella. It made me think of a grumpy old man. Some days it would fit him perfectly.

sands42 noel means Christmas in French, not that it matters, but maybe fun to know 😉! I always liked this name. It would be so cute for a December baby. I like the traditional French spelling of Noelle for a girl. I had a friend in high school named Noella.

cagoldi, but does he like Persephone Belle? How often will you call her by her first and middle name? ....actually, I do this with Cadence quite a bit, but only when she is doing something she shouldn't...

Gus reminds me of the mouse in Cinderella. It does for me too and I would have totally called my kiddo Gus-Gus when he was a wee lad if I had a boy despite the reference. My husband was 100% on board because it's the name of one of the main characters from Lonesome Dove.

Love it!!

Run faster than that. M has the whole thing memorized.

cagoldi, but does he like Persephone Belle? How often will you call her by her first and middle name? ....actually, I do this with Cadence quite a bit, but only when she is doing something she shouldn't... I feel like when people use the FN and MN together, they use the proper version of the first name, not the nn. So I’m also on the same page as you to look at it as Persephone Belle rather than Poppy Belle. cagoldi- do you like any variations of Belle? Bella, Isabel, Isabella......

Goldi, I agree with others. Persephone Belle is pretty and I think Poppy Belle is really cute.

cagoldi at least they didn’t spell them Berlynne or Dresdyn 😉 But I agree, weird at best. Definitely makes you wonder. Brings to mind those ppl from Ohio or PA or somewhere that named their kids Adolf Hitler and Aryan Nation.
