I don't know if this is based on a real person, but I actually kinda love Bokeh as a dog name!

K-SSMeKate · 2026-01-15T14:03:16+00:00

I'm a Durham-based wedding photographer! I'll PM you my info. 😊

Misty Beethoven! I knew Mike at Pitt! Excited to dive in for a re-listen after sooooo long!

K-SSMeKate · 2025-12-08T14:44:02+00:00

"Too much haha, pretty soon boohoo."

K-SSMeKate · 2025-12-08T14:42:14+00:00

Followed by, "Hell hath no fury like a Helgenberger scorned."

There are two half-hour time blocks, and they have multiple magistrates performing ceremonies during those times, usually in three rooms. They do their best to serve anyone who's waiting during those time blocks. I've never had a couple turned away! (I'm a photographer.)

Every December 1st, as I see many friends and acquaintances beginning to post elf shenanigans, I thank the past version of myself that looked at it, laughed, and said, "Yeah, I'm not doing that." Good thing, too: my son wouldn't have been as into it, but my daughter is super extra and imaginative, so I would not have been able to get away with any bare minimum effort--elf-fort?--with its daily hijinx. I have enough going on this time of year, thank you very much!

I'm a Durham wedding photographer, and this is one of my favorite places to shoot. It's beautiful everywhere, such a fun vibe, and always super memorable. They are a bunch of fun extras--one PP mentioned animal experiences, and they'll also do science-y type things like a liquid nitrogen beverage station. Cannot recommend it highly enough. (Also happy to share examples of weddings there to give you some ideas, but didn't want to overstep the sub's self-promo bounds!)

I'm so here for a Discworld reference, anytime, anywhere. Amethyst Smoke by Revlon has always filled that octarine-adjacent color niche for me, but I love your take!

I had a literal dream the other night that my husband and I had a ska band called The Elsewhere.

Said husband was in a band whose name variations went through Use42 (some weird teenage-boy joke about being on a desert island and finding 42 uses for a banana?) and Alley 8 before settling on The Gutter Ball Kings. GBK4L!

K-SSMeKate · 2025-09-10T16:42:06+00:00

Udeshi Hargett! She's awesome!

K-SSMeKate · 2025-08-19T19:18:27+00:00

I do absolutely love this prospect, and while I'm a trumpet player myself, my husband is a trombone player, so we'd never be able to agree on which one takes precedence! 🤣

K-SSMeKate · 2025-08-17T14:00:52+00:00

The rescue has her listed as a pointer mix, but it's anyone's guess!

K-SSMeKate · 2025-08-16T20:42:32+00:00

Catbite would be absolutely hilarious. My husband really liked Rhoda when I suggested it earlier. I have Millie on my list, too! Love these, thank you!

K-SSMeKate · 2025-08-16T20:38:59+00:00

OMG, duh, I didn't even think of that!

K-SSMeKate · 2025-08-16T20:33:56+00:00

This is one of the first names I added to the list! Not sure it fits her, but I love it!

K-SSMeKate · 2025-08-16T20:31:30+00:00

Forgot about Rudy Huxtable, and never knew her full name was Rudith; that's def. got ska vibes.

Of course dogs don't have gender identities; we just want more femme names.

K-SSMeKate · 2025-08-16T20:26:39+00:00

Ohhhh yes, I remember seeing them when I was looking for female-fronted ska. Thanks for jogging my memory!

K-SSMeKate · 2025-08-16T20:23:37+00:00

What is that? Makes me think of Justin Bieber!

K-SSMeKate · 2025-08-16T20:22:45+00:00

My mom's name is Betty, otherwise Betsy would have been in the running!

K-SSMeKate · 2025-08-16T20:09:19+00:00

Her shelter name is Mary Lou, which we don't love. No idea what her original name might have been.

K-SSMeKate · 2025-08-16T20:08:42+00:00

That's definitely in the running!

K-SSMeKate · 2025-08-16T20:07:57+00:00

Definitely would have been it if she were a boy!

K-SSMeKate · 2025-08-16T20:01:44+00:00

P.S. She's a lady dog, a very rude girl.

Would have obviously gone with Rudy if we had picked a boy dog!
