My mom's name (Suzanne) is about to fall off the list (950 this year). It was a top 100 name when she was born. And now my weirdo name tops it by 700 spots. Hmm.

According the charts, my name is also declining in popularity. I recently talked to someone (rather moronic) who said they'd never known anyone with my name. I had to laugh when, the next day, I talked to a client's daughter, who is 19 and has my name. She asked me to call someone else, who also had the same first name.
Also, when I went on a term abroad in college, 3 out of the 4 women on the trip shared the same first name.

If I have another boy, Hector is high on the list of names I would choose. I anticipate that I may get some pushback on this, however. |

Ava Suzanne would be a good name. If you were to have a baby. Or a new pet, or whatever. I guess pets generally don't have middle names.
Maybe I can name a plant. |

BTW, Mitzi peaked in the 50s in the 400s. Fell off the list in 1979.
Kay peaked in 1941 at 70. Fell off the list in 1984.
I like it, but I'm not sure that my kid would forgive me if I named her Mitzi.

Perhaps you should try it with a plant first.

Calling All Gardeners!!
I have a tomato question:
In my kitchen garden, I have about 10 tomato plants. They're all in basically the same spot, and get the same sun and water and food. However, two of the plants have really droopy leaves, as if they're not getting enough water. I water them extra and they don't seem to be plumping up. What's up with that?
I am tempted to post a picture to illustrate the bizarre result I am getting, but I am afraid maybe that is a little too weird.

And, is it wrong that the first thing I thought when I saw that Social Security compiles these lists was how much more fun it would be to be the baby name list compiler for the SSA than to be doing my present job? Could one of the fancy-schmancy government lawyers who frequent the boards try to hook a girl up here? I'm sure I could compile the lists remotely from LA. TIA!

I was reading an article recently about couples that are hiring people to help them name their baby. Maybe you could become a baby naming consultant.

Personally I would love to see pictures. That may just provide confirmation that it's weird, though. |

Too much water? Are they in a low spot?
More plants, I'm told, die from overwatering than underwatering.

We've found the people willing to pay $500 over retail to avoid going to their local Apple store!

The Puppy's middle name is Herbert.
ETA: huh. fell off the list the year before she was born. Did well in 1932.
