A great story, Kate! And, for the record, even thought the movie is pretty funny, I’ll always think of the mythological Juno. You can thank my seven years of classics for that!
Tempe Joann, Helena Louise, and Juno Kate? What a stunning set!
That comment totally went in the wrong place. Sorry!
Randomness: Anyone like the name Skyla Evangeline
I really like Evangeline. Skyla sounds like it’s made up or a mash-up of Schuyler and Twyla. My humble suggestion is Evangeline Sky.
I tend to think all of the Sky- names are fading (Skye, Skyla, Skylar) in favor of more adventurous nature names. But plenty of girls do answer to Kyla and Mylah, so while it might not be original, it wouldn’t be a problem.
Now Twyla? I love Twyla!
Thanks for the feedback! I love Evangeline (as I’ve said thousands of times) but wouldn’t it stink to be in first grade and have to write E-V-A-N-G-E-L-I-N-E! So maybe Maia Evangeline Savannah (for a dear friend)!?!? Anyway I’m far from kids…Just a name nerd!
