Re: Thoughts on…
in reply to a message by sprout
I love Iris, it's in my top 10! I would seriously consider it for a daughter.
I really like Hope. I recently used it as a character name. I enjoy it as a middle name, too.
I've been back and forth on Flora. It was one of my first favorites as a little kid, but then I went through a phase of finding it sickly sweet and overly, well, floral. Now I'm somewhere in the middle. I think I've overthought it and I might like it if I actually met someone with the name. Anyhow, I prefer Florence.
LISTEN TO THE MUSTN'TS
- Shel Silverstein
Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child,
Listen to the DON'TS
Listen to the SHOULDN'TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me—
Anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be.
