Garkon! Bring me a clarett, willya.

That one made me laugh out loud! Yes, I spell mine the French way, Stuart.

But wouldn't it be "Eldasha?" Or "Eldashay?"

Speaking of such names, apparently Neveah (spelled backward: heaven) was popular in some circles a few years back. I only know this because a number of the poor little tykes met untimely ends and made the news.

What??? It's true, Neveah was trending heavily about 3 to 5 years ago, but seems to have tapered off. But, what untimely ends? Just coincidence or specifically targeting Neveahas?

Oops. That would be Nevaeh. Apparently, reverse spelling is not my forte. As I recall, they were abuse/murders, which made the name particularly ironic. There was another lurid case involving Rilya (Remember I Love You Always) Wilson, whose short life was horrific. What happens when you read too many true crime tales...Me, I like nice serviceable names. Like Jane.
