A name that's hard(er) to pronounce?

Now if I could just get everyone to stop naming their daughters Sophia, we'd be in business! LOL

Was it you I was talking about Buffy to?

We're now up to Buffy and have seen Anya now... I dig her! :P (We're actually early on in season 4... a lot to get used to... it feels like a different show now.)

/off topic... sort of! :D

I wrote this book in high school and named the main charater Cozette (I loved it anyway!) and my lunch table would read it, and instead of finding all the soap opera hijinks unbelievable, they found the name too unbelievable! "no one in the us would name a child that name!" LOL

I love it how even characters in a book get their names critizied too! My French name was Sophia, because I didn't want to use the French variant of my real name...my name is Virginia, and the french variant is Virginie, which I've heard was/is in the top 20 of girl names!

Well, with my son's name, Otis,... people have ALL SORTS of preconceptions/ideas about it. I do point out to ALL of them that it is actually a German name, and isn't tied to a particular anybody.

Yep - it was me :) Season 4 was one of my favorite seasons!! And you'll dig Anya more later on, her character really develops over time (as they all do). Just as a note since you're almost there: I thought season 5 wasn't as good as the rest, but after that it gets REALLY good.

That's what I've heard! We're also watching Angel season 1 alongside Buffy season 4.

It was probably me LOL, I am a Buffy fanatic. That is a good thing about having a girl for me because Buffy used to give me such raging GD I couldn't bear to watch it any more. :p
