Loungers who lunch even more!! **MOD WARNING OPENING POST**

I thought the name I chose for Pancake was nice and original for France, while also being easily pronounced. Teenaged cousins (female) love it cos one of One Direction has the same name, and they are huge over here.

Enzo is the most popular boys name here, don't like it at all.

I have just googled One Direction to work out which name you picked!

Enzo...? That just makes me think of a chipper in Ennis!

One Direction all have nice names actually, so whichever one it is, good choice

My cousin called her little boy Henry, which I love. Classic boys names are far better than the likes of Morgan, Kai, Jayden etc.

Enzo Ferrari!! We've had many a pet snail and pet rock called Enzo. My son is obsessed with Ferrari.

Yeah, no problem if you've an Italian family name, but IMO it sounds a wee bit silly with other surnames.

Actually the name I picked for pancake is getting more popular now, it's seen as sort of "exotic", similarly to Killian. I discovered it's a popular skanger name here! Eep!

Pancake's second name is Morgan! Admittedly it's more of a classic first name here than in Ireland. His third name is so nerdy, I can't even say what it is!

Doo!!! I can't say my son's name as he's the only one I know with that name and my cover would be blown >.>

If I ever have a girl it will be called Aurnia.

Oh noes, sorry if I insulted you and Pancake I guess it's just not so classic over here. I wanna know his third one now...I'm thinking it's one of the characters from The Big Bang Theory :pac:

My middle name classically goes pretty well with my first name. Until a movie about someone of the same name being exorcised was brought out

Ah_Yeah

A friend of mine had a fish called Cormac.

I like animals with people names.

I cannot concentrate today with nicotine withdrawals.

My strange first name combined with my ridiculous surname make for interesting times in Ireland, and even more interesting times in France! Love my name though, I really do.

When my brother was in primary school, in a class of 20 students there were 7 with his name. His was spelled differently to all of them though!

Am I the only one who doesn't like New Years?? I just don't see the point really. I think we're staying in this year because we only get home the morning of the 29th, and have a wedding afters that day so I reckon we'll still be wrecked on the 31st

Haha I had to look up One Dorection names too - only knew Niall!

The only other people I know with my name are my auntie, my granny and someone off coronation st - my parents were very original. Would get confusing when all 3 of us were in the house together!

Caroline I know it's no consolation at all but I think you're a remarkable woman, and you've been so strong (lurker in ttc thread). I really admire you and I hope you feel a little bit better soon x x

"Source at least five journal articles that discuss the main characteristics of Modernism".

Journal articles that deal with deal with literary modernism as a general movement are shockingly hard to find. They're all discussing specific writers or books.

Kill me now. I've been at this for three days and I still only have three articles sourced.

I think I've met one or two people with my name and only as an adult.

I can't concentrate because I am so woozy with this cold. Stupid thing.
I just got over the last one and I'm taking vitamins :mad:

I don't mind NY. I never make a fuss about it or anything but I'll be glad to be spending it in SF this year, it could be pretty fun.

Yup, I'm fairly sure it's the one I thought it was so! :P

I'm sick of those kind of names! A load of girls that I went to school with have named their kids stupid names like Jayden and Mason, etc. Though an award has to go to the one who named her daughter Shaneice... That was a new and ridiculous one! Thank god she didn't have a son!

I swear, I'm starting to think that more babies have come out of my year than college degrees. It's kind of depressing. (nothing against those of you who have had babies young, I just think it's a pity that so many of my classmates have had babies so young and with no college education - yea, I'm a snob!)

I go to Limerick every year for NY. I don't even really like going out but it's a tradition and I'm keeping it up 'till I die !

Posy

My plans for new year are the same as my plans for last new year and all the new years before.
Work new year's eve and new year's day. :cool:

Also, I just googled One Direction and none of them are called Pancake so I think Ivy is lying.

I think those celebrity-inspired names are awful, I really hope they're not considered classics in a generation's time Shaniece is shocking! Then again, I know a girl whose mother let her take Beyonce as a confirmation name. No joke. I thought I was being exotic with Aimee.

I don't think that being a teenage mother necessarily means you forfeit the ability to go to college though. Well if you don't want to go, fair enough. But you can always go back as a mature student when the child is older, if you so wish. I know two girls who had babies at 18 and 19. One is in second year of college and another has just qualified as a primary school teacher. But to be fair, their families were able to support them financially and with child care, a lot of others aren't so lucky.

Last year we just had a Serlock marathon and didn't notice the new year rolling in. Best one ever methinks.

This year? Probably more of the same. Our mates normally rent a house in connemara. Maybe we'll join them this time. I don't care as long as we're together. Haven't been apart for a New Years' since we met. Our first was the Millennium.

I think we're gonna bite the bullet and host a NYE party this year House parties on New Years are the best, no drunk crowds and extortionate door fees to be dealing with!

Hah my confirmation name is the most normal of all my names!

Don't think I think that! I know that they can go on to college but these girls that I'm talking about are only interested in having babies and not going to college! Their aim in life was to have kids. I just don't understand it!

I'm not that much of a snob!
One of my friends just had a baby and she's already planning how she'll get back to college. I have huge respect for girls like her.

I'm normally not a fan of NYE either, overpriced cattlemarts etc etc. BUT I do love nice house parties with people you know and like. Which is why I'm looking forward to this year's one.

Ah okay, sorry if I picked you up wrong! I don't understand that mentality either, but so many girls have it. Get a job straight after school, marry teenage boyfriend, have kids. Stay in the same town you were born and raised in. I know that makes plenty of people happy but I'd feel like I'd missed out on so much if I did that.

Fair play to your friend though, college and babies are tough by themselves, never mind simultaneously!
