Hi Peaches. (chuckles - but truly, I think that's a great name. Bet NO ONE ever forgets your name. And ha ha - I remember the Ima and Yura Hogg names. Horrible. Spouse works for the school district nearby and used to work with kid records a lot. He'd come home dying with laughter about some of the first names. How about Jazzman, Tequila, "C," and there are many more. |

Marius, LOL @ Robin Bank. I swear this is true...at one point I was dating a guy with the last name Banks! It never got so serious that I considered marriage, but the name certainly crossed my mind. I LOVED it! My last name starts with D., so I'd have made that my middle initial, just so I could be Robin D. Banks! Too bad that guy was a drunk! |

Gee whiz - what great names!!! I love Effie Nell, but then I suspect, like our host (and btw - where is he?) - I actually prefer some aspects of previous centuries, (excluding appalling lack of rights for women and children). Anyway names: we had several older relatives with names you don't hear much now: Josephine, Winifred, Edith, Ehtel, Wilber, Herman ... but none of those names top "Windy Butts." Am sure "Wendy" has been teased a great deal. : ) Thanks for the smiles all! |

I've been researching my husbands family tree and found a Hezekiah, born early 1830s. The name surprised us all. |

ok, so names.... i have a huge family so people have had to get creative.- My mom's name is Pebbles, really- not a nickname or anything that's the name my grandparents gave her when she was born-she is a td-er so if you see the name- it's my mom. |

Im an Ashley too. I was never the only Ashley in my grade there was once 5 of us in a class of 17-that was miserable the teacher had to use our last names to tell us apart, i would have preferred to have a more unique name.- though now it has grown on me and i am used to it. |

I have a friend who's last name is Koch (pronounced 'Coke') and his parents came dangerously close to naming him Ryan before they started saying it out loud and realized their child would be 'Rye and Coke'. My friend knew a girl named Iona Beirwagon, I'm geussing she got invited to a lot of parties in college. And the best one I think I've heard of was a patient of my mom's back in the day when she was a Occupational Therapist. Her patients name was Sparkle Plenty. |

My first name is Lindsay and as a child I never knew anyone of the same name. When I was in grade 9 there was a girl in grade 7 whose first name was Lindsey and her last name was only 2 letters different from mine (even weirder was our dads were business partners but we'd never actually met) and now my brother is married to a Lindsey whose maiden name (which she kept) is only 2 letters different from mine. |

Our second baby was a son. We wrangled over this name as much as the first, but at least the name 'Ashley' was now out of the running. |

What a wonderful Sunday, Baldur made himself a bowl of hummus with some roasted red peppers pureed into it for his supper. |

Robin is having Chicken salad sandwich on toast for what could be considered her breakfast before work tonight. However, ironically, I was thinking earlier that we were due for another recipe episode of Radio Baldur. It's been awhile. I love the garrison keillor feel to all these stories, but where's our gardening tips? LOL |

Baldur, I like your given name, and every one else's names too. But, I see we're on to food now. |
