anyway.
i don't know about children. if i want to have them, that is. i don't feel cut out to be a mom in alot of ways, but sometimes i just have ideas about how to mold a human being without crushing them, and i think maybe i wouldn't suck at it. too much.
anyway.
in class today i suddenly decided that i must write down all of my favorite names. forgive this, whoever happens to read this- i am not usually this person. but i do love names.
Boy-names
Connery
Dominic (or Donovan, but you can't have both)
Hadley (The Sun Also Rises is dedicated to him)
Rufus
Loudon (no, the Wainrights had nothing to do with it... I swear..)
Dante (well, it's better than naming him Chaucer)
Zooey (oh salinger, you've ruined me)
I kind of like the traditional boy-boy-names like Harry and Charlie and Billy, too.
Jude. So I could sing HEY JUDE to him. He would so growing up either hating or loving the Beatles. I could just name him Lennon. Bet he'd HATE that.
Girl-names
Margot or (eux, I suppose)
Amelia
Ophelia (i could call her Opie)
Portia (yes. yes. Shakespeare much?)
Maureen
Kate (not Katherine, ever. but Kate is lovely)
Phoebe (oh Salinger again)
Audrey (ye old hollywood)
Ingrid (although I have to admit I keep hearing Roddy Mcdowall say it in That Darn Cat.... "INgrid!".... but on the other hand, it's such a graceful, feminine name, as in Bergman.)
Maude (Judd Apatow had the nerve to name his daughter this. kudos, apatow, kudos...)
In other news, I was just on itunes and decided to see what was new at the store. i discovered
1) i am not up on my hipness. at all.
2) all of my little secrets have become big secrets due to the popularity of this crazy internet world. damn. i feel tragically unhip.
3) fleet foxes? new song?

There is a boy in my creative writing class named Dante (random).
As for kids, I know I'd make a terrible mother if I had to be full time at it, but like you, I think I might be able to do some good in a child's world, which is one of the reason's I chose to be a teacher.
And I think that concern is me getting a head start on Erikson's Generativity vs. Stagnation.
