I like my first name (Sara) but I don't know what my parents were thinking when they chose my middle name.
Do you prefer trendy or classic first names (or just completely off-the-wall, original-no-one-else-in-the-world-could-possibly-have-this-name-too names)
There's two questions there, isn't there? I'll answer them both...No, I'm not particularly fond of my name, which is Lisa, because everyone and their dog was named Lisa for about a 5-7 year period there in the late 60's/early 70's. And even worse, my middle name is Marie so yes, I'm Lisa Marie. :sick: Not named after Elvis's daughter because my parents were never big Elvis fans and I actually came first but that doesn't stop people from assuming. :rolleyes: My parents were going to name me Sina after my great grandmother but decided it was too odd but I really think I would've preferred that...which brings me to the other part of the question, I like biblical names for boys for some reason and really feminine, old fashion names for girls. I don't like off the wall names or classic names that are creatively spelled, I really don't like that.
And to continue the theme of names, would you name your child after a celebrity and if so, who?
If one should want to name their child after a celebrity, perhaps the chosen name should be "Celebra" for a girl or "Celeb" for a boy. Meanwhile, I firmly believe that names should mean something. They should be a beacon of character for the child to live up to or have relevance to the spiritual inner person that the parents discern in their child or be a permanent marker to remind the parents or teach the child about some special event or circumstance surrounding the birth or conception of the child. If the parents want a more or less traditional name, like "Wayne" or "Robert" or "Cheryl" or "Katherine", then they should research such names and choose one that has some particular meaning of significance to them. For example, I named my firstborn Heather Lee, because "Heather" is a beautiful, but untamed and strong, flower; "Lee" is a sheltered meadow or glade, where Heather often grows, and the two names together sound phonetically like "Heavenly". I found this meaningful and, it turns out, so has Heather.
But, I haven't really answered the question, so I will pass it on to the next person.
Actually I don't like naming the child after a celebrity, that seems kind of stupid to me, but I would name the child by a book character or by any author, for example I love the name Dante, and hope to name my child like that one day... :)
Same Q.
I would never name my child after a celeb because if they are in a scandal, my child would be hearing about it their entire life. Besides, I would like to come up with my own unique name (but not weird like Apple).
Would you change the name of someone you already know, but whose name you don't like?
Uh, I change the names of people I LIKE a lot. People find themselves nicknamed by me quite often. Sometimes the nickname sticks like glue. I call Madhuri "Maddie", for example. My own list of nicknames is very long. "Pen" is a nice short useful one! ;) People I don't like the names of, hey, I didn't name them. So I'll call them what they are comfortable with or nickname them. Most don't mind. :nod:
Do you know what your name means?
Yes. It means 'sweetness' -- Madhuri
Madhu -- Honey; Madhur -- sweet; Madhuri -- sweetness.
I think i'll pass this Q, as I dont know the meaning of most of the names.
Same Q.
My name is a combination of either rose of the sea (in Spanish) or rose of Mary.
Same Q.
My middle name means Strife and Unrest. I dig that.
What did you have/are you having for lunch today?
I am supposed to be having leftover Chicken Korma for lunch, but after what just happened here at the office, I'm not hungry anymore, so lunch will probably be water.
What is your favorite type of cuisine?
I've always loved spagetti o's. There just something about dinner in a can.
Balance this equation please:
Na2OH + O2 ==> NaO2 + H2O
Na2OH + 2(O2) ==> 2(NaO2) + H2O
perhaps.
What is the most unintentionally mean break-up line known to man?
It's not me, it's you.
What is the most intentionally mean break-up line known to man?
Not quite -- the hydrogen doesn't balance out. I think (NaO2) is a typo -- I've never seen such a compound.
"I think we should see other people." It implies another person exists, and confirms that "it's not me, it's you."
Same question, in case someone has another opinion.
NaO2 is sodium superoxide, Robin. But your right that the Hydrogens don't balance out. Here is the balanced reaction:
4(Na2OH) + 7(O2) ==> 8(NaO2) + 2(H2O)
Same question as Robin asked.
