I loved Kate & Allie. I never knew that. And there’s still a fan site for Ari Meyers: http://www.arimeyersfansite.com/bio.html

That is a fabulous fact, Julie!

Ari Meyers, the actress best know as Emma McArdle on the 80′s sitcom “Kate and Allie”, is actually named Ariadne.*

* I don’t know why I knew this… except to say I loved that show when I was a little kid.

It’s a highly appropriate name for her character seeing as her particular job is to create the mazes within which the inception takes place.

Very girly and original… My husband and I love mythical names… while we have no children yet, I am always trying to find new and beautiful mythical names to add to the list. The downside to this name would most definitely be the pronunciation of the name, not to mention she would be forever called by a nickname i am sure. With our last name always being mispronounced, I try to steer clear of first names that are very mispronouncible.
