Comments for the name Bedelia

I don't know if she's famous, but I still remember the Amelia Bedelia books! :-D.

Until a few years ago, I thought this was just a funny-sounding word-name the author of those wonderful books came up with to ryme with Amelia!

Look what you've done, Herman Parish. Taken an infernally infantile name and turned it into an infernally infantile name associated with a character doomed to interpret every instruction literally, with a side order of indefatigable pluck and cushier job security than Dr. House. Thank for for ensuring that people will never attempt to pass this off as anything other than a childish nickname. For your service to babies everywhere, you should be awarded the coveted Golden Pacifier.

Amelia Bedelia, anyone? I didn't even know this was a real name before today! I thought the author just made something up to rhyme with Amelia!

Amelia Bedelia. And I hate this name.
