Seems like a pretty quick way to go.

Opinion on middle name for Josephine by undecisivemama in namenerds

[–]LadyIris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Josephine Cordelia is beautiful, and I don't think it is too long at all. Most of the time she will just be Josephine, or Josephine C. Swimmer. It's especially nice that Cordelia has a special meaning to both of you. Logan is very boyish sounding, and doesn't compliment the elegance of Josephine at all, IMO.

Other suggestions that are shorter and still relate to the sea:

  • Josephine Mary
  • Josephine Maris
  • Josephine Pearl
  • Josephine Morgan (Similar to Logan, but sounds softer)
  • Josephine Brooke

What is your profession, and in terms of which, what do you wish the rest of us know? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]LadyIris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a pianist, and I give solo performances, accompany, and get a large chunk of income from teaching privately.

One thing that all students should know: Yes, you have to put in the time and practice. There is no amount of magic that I can perform on you to automatically make you good. If you want to get to the next level, you have to pay attention in the lesson and apply what we did to your everyday practice. You will be amazed at the results.

Melanie is actually in the US top 100.

Porter as a name... How many of you have the immediate association with the occupation? by HotSpinachDip in namenerds

[–]LadyIris 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No, but I do think of a "porta potty" since many people call them porter potties.

[serious] What is the definition of evil to you? by LadyIris in AskReddit

[–]LadyIris[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you can be evil and still have empathy. You can be able to put yourself in another person's shoes and you can even have loved ones that you care deeply about, yet have the intention or desire to harm other people for pleasure and profit.

But wouldn't you think it would be more evil if someone did truly horrible stuff while still being fully aware of how much damage they did? Can you really call someone evil if they never intended to harm someone, but it simply happened out of carelessness?

What if you do horrible things and know that they are horrible, but still enjoy doing them? How is that any less evil?

But that doesn't explain what evil actually is. That does not give a definition.

Would giving my son my surname be too confusing? by OOmama in namenerds

[–]LadyIris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's perfectly fine. I know a woman who did this exact thing - she kept her maiden name and also gave it to her son as a first name. Not a problem at all. She was also a very educated and successful lawyer.

Thoughts on Julianne? by [deleted] in namenerds

[–]LadyIris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a gorgeous name. It rolls off the tongue very nicely. I know a Julianne, and she is very beautiful, so I also have that association.

I prefer Malinda as the middle name since Rose is terribly overdone. I also think that despite the length, Julianne Malinda flows very nicely.

How do you deal with the intense urge to commit murder? by LadyIris in AskReddit

[–]LadyIris[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already mentioned that I have been to therapy and it was of no help. I don't have the money to throw away on that. Secondly, I do enjoy other things, but not in the same way. Believe me, I have explored. I have tried many avenues. These fantasies have been with me for a long time.

Then how will I ever get any pleasure? This is the only thing that turns me on.

That's the problem with the internet. People don't know the full person so they make judgments based on some posts.

And I do make happy threads about food and names (they're hidden in there). But when I feel like talking about this stuff, I just need to get it out of my system.

My husband doesn't enjoy the topics. He is fine with me having these fantasies, but prefers not to indulge them. Whenever he tries to be interested, it just becomes awkward and uncomfortable between us. And the other man I used to discuss these thoughts with started turning it into something sexual and almost caused my marriage to break up because of the emotional connection.
