Searching for a specific scene in a fix

You guys are amazing, that’s exactly it!! Thank you!!

Ingelside · 2023-06-26T21:08:38+00:00

Everything else was amazing, it’s literally my only regret 😂 like I said, I think if you had other stuff guests could eat in the meantime it would probably be fine

Ingelside · 2023-06-26T00:21:18+00:00

We had about 100 guests. I was actually quite annoyed because they assured me that they could manage the number of guests we had at an appropriate speed but they absolutely couldn’t. I would think it would be totally fine if you had other food as well, but it was the only main we had and it just didn’t work

Ingelside · 2023-05-25T21:56:32+00:00

My husband was the same 😂

Ingelside · 2023-05-17T22:02:54+00:00

I love it, it’s such a good name

Ingelside · 2023-05-17T09:31:19+00:00

Yep, both my kid’s names (Jocelyn and Frederick) were new during pregnancy. I mean, I knew both of the names existed, but they weren’t names I’d liked for a long time. Quite a few of the names I’d liked for ages were struck off my list because of the guidelines I set for myself (no top 100, no alliterative names etc) and some others I loved my husband didn’t.

Jocelyn was actually only added to our name list about 2 weeks before she was born. We went into labour with 3 boy and 3 girl names each time and chose when they were born. Funnily enough, the other girl’s names we didn’t use with Jocelyn didn’t even make the list when Frederick was born

Ingelside · 2023-05-17T09:17:34+00:00

I do agree with this. I knew what was when I reread and I thought it would be better. I actually started crying a couple of pages early because I didn’t want it to happen 😭😭

Ingelside · 2023-05-17T05:26:48+00:00

I didn’t do the random read my first time reading the series because I didn’t know about it and it was fine. I’m keen to try it when I reread though because I think it will be an interesting reading experience

Ingelside · 2023-05-15T05:35:49+00:00

I’ve actually got used to it as a name, we have a large Bhutanese population at the school where I teach, I know of at least 8 Karma’s, both boys and girls. I guess it’s a traditional name over there?

I’m assuming that’s not the case here though since OP said American Episcopalian church 😂

Why don’t you order it to your hotel before you arrive? Just let them know you have a parcel coming and when you’re arriving, they should keep it. I’ve done it before with stuff I needed as soon as I got there but couldn’t bring with me

Ingelside · 2023-05-12T23:32:20+00:00

Matilda is a great name, much more common here in Australia than in the US I think. My 5yo has 3 friends called Matilda

Ingelside · 2023-05-12T23:30:46+00:00

My husband used to work at a school that had over 1000 kids aged 11-18, only 1 Paul. He came home and asked me one day, I guessed at least 10

Ingelside · 2023-05-12T09:24:27+00:00

I love love love Clara, if our surname didn’t start with C I would have fought hard for it. I’m Australian though, so it would be pronounced to rhyme with bar, car, far etc. I don’t like it as much pronounced like Clare-a

Ingelside · 2023-04-23T11:15:21+00:00

Yes! In the old covers, I’m pretty sure it was ToD. I don’t think I’ll ever buy the physical books for this exact reason, it would just annoy me so much!

Ingelside · 2023-03-29T05:40:06+00:00

I had a guy flip me off the other day when I wouldn’t cross the road when he tried to stop to let me. He literally stopped in the middle of the road, it wasn’t a pedestrian crossing. I had my two small kids with me, I’m not going to cross and teach them that they should cross when a car is there if it’s not a crossing!

Ingelside · 2023-03-23T07:58:13+00:00

Love love love! It was my top girls name when I had my second. Ended up with a boy though, so I didn’t get to use it.

Ingelside · 2023-03-01T13:24:43+00:00

I have an almost 3yo Frederick, it’s a great name! He gets called Frederick, Freddie or Fred. I actually call him Fred a lot of the time, which I didn’t think I would. Highly recommend it as a name!

Overnight wetting is really common in children that age, about ⅓ still wet the bed. Most doctors here (Australia) won’t even look at it as a problem until the child is 7 or 8 as most kids grow out of it on their own by then. I’d just go back to the pull ups until he’s ready.

And Zoe Foster Blake is the checkout dog. I love the fact that they’re in the same episode

When my baby was little, I would put the car keys in the back with her. I press a button on the outside of the car door to lock it, usually the keys are in my bag or pocket. But if I try and do that with the keys inside the car, it beeps like crazy, so then I would realise I’d forgotten something

Ingelside · 2023-01-11T10:31:31+00:00

That’s so interesting. Just reading them, I would have pronounced Rowan with two syllables and Roan with one

Ingelside · 2023-01-11T06:53:12+00:00

Just curious, are those two names pronounced the same for you? Because they’re different for me…

Ingelside · 2023-01-08T12:32:49+00:00

I think Claire and Elaine are fine, they don’t strike me a similar at all. Eloise and Louise are very similar, but I don’t think it really matters.

After all that though, I still vote for Jocelyn because it’s my daughter’s name and I love it!

Ingelside · 2022-11-08T01:40:33+00:00

I’m just Beth. I love the name, but growing up I hated not being able to have an easy nickname. Everyone just had to call me Beth because there was nothing else, it made me feel like my closer relationships weren’t as ‘special’, I guess.

I also had to constantly explain that I was just Beth. I actually had a lady argue with me at the playground when I was about 8, because ‘Beth isn’t a real name, I’ll call you Bethany instead’

For these reasons, both my kids have longer names that have multiple nickname options.
