View Full Version : I Got the Greatest Compliment I've Ever Had Today...
I was reading a letter from my pen-pal in Toronto, whom I've been talking to for almost a year now and we've become very close. She's expecting her first child this summer, and we were talking about baby names. She told me she'd already decided that if it's a girl she wants to name it Emily, after me! I couldn't believe it - that's the sweetest thing I've ever heard from anyone! I could have a namesake!
I'm just tickled, so I thought I'd share :wave:

Aww that's so sweet. I'd like to do the same thing and give one of my daughter's the middle name Lindsay after my friend.
Thanks guys :) I actually just got off the phone with my best friend. I told her and she said "I'd be happy if someone named their dog after me!" :lol:
It's true though. This is the nicest thing that anyone could do for me.

That's so cool! If I ever had a kid- [notice the emphasis on 'ever'], her middle name would definitely be Caitlin, after my best friend.

Yes that is quite an honor! Nobody that I know of has ever named anyone after me.:( Marlene is kind of an old- fashioned name I guess! But Karly told me a couple of years ago that she was going to name one of her future kids Marlene. I am holding you to that Miss Karly!:lol:

I'd like to do that as well. If I do have a daughter, I'd like her middle name to be Nicole, after my best friend.

When you have a baby of your own one day, you can return the compliment and name the baby after your pen-pal!!

Well, I'm only 21 and about as single as they come ;) I don't really plan on ever having kids, but who knows? She's got a lovely name herself: Grace. I told her she should name the baby Emily Grace - so it's after both of us :)

That is cool, Emily. Now that's a pretty good friend. :cool:
Just to let you know, I still haven't decided a name for my kid yet. It's still too early.

I believe Cindy Williams has a daughter named Emily.
Born sometime in the early- to mid-1980s.

That's right. I see you with a brood of 8 little ones, who all grow up to be staunch Republicans. :eek:

I completely agree. They do look really ugly and lame.
