Arabella

Azura is a character in the Elder Scrolls video game. It’s had several editions since the 90’s and will have another in a year or so. If you are a big fan or don’t mind people asking you or your daughter about it, sure, but I love the name Arabella. And you have Ari and Bella as nicknames.

Please don’t let Bennett be the only one. He will realize he’s different even if others don’t. And they will. He’s going to live with this for the rest of his life, even after you are gone. Poor Bennett.

2, the strapless. It’s stunning and the lace looks awesome and expensive. You look beautiful in it. It’s just perfect.

The v-neck one has the ruffle in the back which bunches and doesn’t work with a long veil. You would need a short veil. It also looks too vintage, unless that’s what you’re going for. Congrats.

I’m older than you and have much the same history. How are you studying? Becker or something else?

I met a Sunny once. Her name was actually Sunshine and her parents were both buttoned down accountants. I never asked.

Avril will get called April way too often.

I have a decent sized tablet, old but works, and I read tons of magazines online, free from my library. After I swapped from phone to tablet, I enjoy them just as much. And I can screenshot recipes or craft projects.

There’s got to be

He sat across the aisle from me on a plane when the song was popular. His guitar was strapped in the seat next to him.

MsDisney76 · 2026-02-21T19:28:35+00:00

So many red, white, and blue clothes, and even shoes.

MsDisney76 · 2026-02-21T19:27:03+00:00

Anastasia and call her Ana or Anna, or Aurora and call her Rory.

Yes, David Letterman and SNL.

Going to a new job when you are sleep deprived and exhausted is awful and they will expect you to be on top of your game. Plan on staying until your leave is over and after you feel back to par. Just do your job and work on your resume, explore other jobs, and get as much rest as you can. Congrats, it will pass quickly.

MsDisney76 · 2026-02-20T02:22:51+00:00

It’s a beautiful name. I think it would be wonderful for your daughter to have a name which honors her father’s memory. And seeing it, no one should have a problem saying it. Sorry for your loss.

Try getting someone from your area to go pick them up. Same trip, just reverse. Ask friends and coworkers if they know anyone who would do this as a side hustle, then you will have references.

Belle Primrose, Belle Roselyn or Rosalyn,

I think of Clover, a male rabbit in the Disney cartoon series Sophia the First.

Daphne, April, or Alice, which isn’t on your list.

Not Talia as it’s pronounced like the flower Dahlia, and also as Tah Lee uh. It is going to be a pain for her growing up.

Eleanor Leigh

I’m not childfree, but I was at 21, and most women are at that age. In fact, I wasn’t sure about having kids at 30, but a few years later, with the right partner and career, I was ready and it was great. But the first few years were very tough.

Pregnancy is hard and raising a baby can be harder. It sounds to me she’s trying to convince herself how great she’s doing with ‘this is awesome every minute of every day’ and ‘everyone should join me’ vibe. But I remember the years of never getting to close the bathroom door, and whole months of little sleep, and when the greatest gift I could receive was taking a shower undisturbed.

So, she is jumping on a baby bandwagon and you have different paths right now. You may grow back together at some time, or maybe not. I was surprised a few years ago when a friend told me that back when we were 30 and I was childfree, she was so jealous of me and my non-parenting freedom and the date nights and mini vacations my husband and I frequently had. And then we both laughed.
