I feel like you have a few more articles… in the beginning didn’t you write a list of Saint names and French names and Pottery Barn names, etc.? Even articles about nicknames?
You’re right, Kristine. I need to go back and scoop them up.
Hello,

Thanks.

Have you thought about doing the alphabet posts again ie. “D is for”
They are kind of like the Fetching name posts
I loved those ones but you stopped after just a few of them…
Truly loved it
Thanx a lot of the info
Could you please do more of the getting to a nickname posts. I love them. One on Ginny in particular would be great.
