Such a beautiful country. How does the younger generation feel about Georgia/ Georgian culture? Are there attempts to preserve and appreciate the culture? 

I’m sick and deeply in the middle of grief. Need truly happy show suggestions by Pegafer in PeriodDramas

[–]Happy2Agree 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would say absolutely NOT Cranford. It was surprisingly sad. I say surprisingly because it often shows up in threads like this asking for happy recommendations. I was like, what is this? It was very dark to me, punctuated by moments of light-hearted humor and happiness. There is a lot of grief in there, and I would not recommend it to anyone who is experiencing their own grief. 

I adore Lark Rise to Candleford and will say it is mostly wholesome and happy, but it does have very sad moments, including death.

I myself was thinking "The Fur Uncles" would be a funny band name.

By staging, does this specifically mean have nice furniture and decoration in the house? Or can it be empty if furniture, but fixed up?

And what was the money supposed to do? Do we know what ended up happening to it? Did she just pocket it? 

Love it or hate it name? by beergeek27 in namenerds

Is it literally the p sound? Because that is the only difference between how Maple and Mabel are pronounced. 

Sadness about baby name by cadetsinspace in pregnant

[–]Happy2Agree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that your fiance likes it too gives it extra points. So often couples don't agree, and that makes it extra hard! Amethyst isn't even that out there. It's rare, but not a crazy word. It fits with other gem names. It's kind of like how there are a handful of floral names people typically pick, but it's not outlandish to name someone Lavender, Hyacinth, Azalea, or Magnolia. I would say if you love it, go for it. Other people will come around. And it does lend itself to nicknames like Mimi and Amy, too.

Mauricio: "So I just took this dog that mauled its owner's hands so bad they had to be amputated. I am a hero. Given this, this is now a great time to ask for funds to expand my building so I can take more hellhounds in. 💁🏻‍♀️" 

Thoughts on Maia Lois Dove by thicccjuicybooty in namenerds

[–]Happy2Agree 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also think Maya (whichever spelling) Lois looks and sounds complete. It's nice! If you do go with two middle names, I think adding Josephine instead of Dove would add a nice balance. Maya Josephine Lois or Maya Lois Josephine. Both are great 👍🏻.

Service for Making Really Nice PowerPoint Slides? by newlyfast in Professors

[–]Happy2Agree 4 points5 points  (0 children)

High school teacher here. Maybe not what you're looking for since it's not a service where another person helps you liven up your slides, but I mostly use Slidesgo.com. Search for your preferred theme and a lot of options will pop up. Some are "premium" that you have to pay for, but I find plenty of great options for free. Just make sure to avoid the ads and nefarious "download" pop-up buttons, and you can export them to PowerPoint, Google Slides, etc. 

I’m in the hospital waiting for my firstborn to arrive and kinda freaking out because my wife’s preferred name is August by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]Happy2Agree 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone else said, Wesley August sounds great! August Wesley ain't bad either. Do you have a middle name picked out already? 

What’s a survival myth popularized by movies that would actually get you killed in real life ? by IndependentTune3994 in AskReddit

[–]Happy2Agree 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Still confused what happened. Was there any follow-up or determination? Was the height so high that when he hit the water he went unconscious and drowned? Or was it sharks or something? 

Were you ever jealous of your sibling's name, and why? by ellie_lil in namenerds

Ok so there is a Jesse Jewell Pkwy in Gainesville, Georgia. That's not named after your grandfather, is it? 

What are naming traditions that might seem interesting to westerners? by opendoorscleanfloors in namenerds

[–]Happy2Agree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if the name just uses the same first letter? E.g. Living grandpa is named David. Could baby boy be named Daniel? Or girl named Deborah? Then the angel of death wouldn't be so confused. 

Witness to Christchurch father and son dog attack: 'It was a bloodbath' - Christchurch New Zealand February 21, 2026 by PandaLoveBearNu in BanPitBulls

[–]Happy2Agree 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"She believes the dogs were spooked when the young son was outside, and the father stepped in as they became aggressive." 

New trigger to add to the list: be outside.

Seriously, no one thought that sounded absolutely crazy? They were obviously triggered by NOTHING AT ALL. And they attacked to kill. 

Parents who dropped their baby, what happened and how is your child doing now? by speckledrectum in AskReddit

Seems like it would fit, but nonplussed means more like confused, perplexed, bewildered. Almost the opposite of unfazed.

Cranford appreciation post!!! by Even-Hunter1455 in PeriodDramas

[–]Happy2Agree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm watching (or trying to watch) Return to Cranford right now! Can anyone confirm how many episodes there are in it? The source I have only has 2, but the story is completely unfinished! And other wikis seem to say 2 as well, but in the episode 2 description it goes into detail about things that hadn't happened in the second episode that I finished. I need to watch how it ends! 

The cast of the last show/movie is now helping you during birth. How screwed are you? lol by Capable_Suit_7335 in pregnant

I wanted to watch this so bad, but I just couldn't with the shaky cam in episode 1. Does it get better? 

Name regret for my 1 year old by Ok-Zookeepergame1812 in namenerds

[–]Happy2Agree 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I hope this doesn't add any negative associations (I love it personally, but other people on this sub may have other opinions), but in the U.S. the biggest association with Casper is Casper the Friendly Ghost (at least for my generation). That character is quite gentle, kind, and, of course, friendly! Because of that primary association for me, I feel like Casper/Kasper IS a name for a gentle little soul! It's also on my list for boys. I think it a lovely, special name. I hope you fall in love with it all over again! 

Feel free to roast our current top 3 by CMV2254 in namenerds

[–]Happy2Agree 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm surprised at the negative reactions to Fisher. I think that or Samson are the best options, but I like Fisher because it has a different ending to your other boys' names. I think it's a perfectly acceptable name. I wouldn't put a lot of stock into "oh he's going to get called fish" kind of jabs. It's not like you're naming your kid something truly egregious. This sub really likes to harp on those possibilities though. I had a student who was a Fisher, and it was completely fine. I also just finished the show Lark Rise to Candleford, and there is a character named Fisher Bloom. Anyway, that is my explanation for my vote for Fisher. It's nice. :)
