MAGGIE: a quick peek into my childhood diaries and notebooks and you can fast see my early kindredness for the name maggie. many of my earliest writings as a young girl featured the main heroine *maggie*, and in childhood pretend play i recall often insisting others should call me this name. i still love it. to me it's charming and friendly and a good dose of wise and quick-witted. i campaigned to call our new-to-us cat maggie. but he was a male. alas.

KATE: kate was my pseudonym of choice thru junior high and high-school, and the name many folks have answered about me during one of those fun party games: *what name should i be if i wasn't me?* w... hich intregues me! my little friends and i spent a LOT of time pretending we were in *university* long before we really had ANY idea what that was and i was always kate, as i felt it would be the *perfect* university woman name. love that! & there were always fabulous *kates* in old storybooks, who took the world by storm in big and small ways. i still love that one, too!

HELEN: i was so lucky growing up surrounded by so many wonderful great-aunts and older women. so we had lots of great *older* generation names and folks to look up to, and names to love! one was helen. i still think this is a fabulous, strong, beautiful name. i love it for it's so-called *old-fashionedness.* i hope it'll be revived in the passion today's parents are showing for names from this era!

i went through a long (LONG!) phase of using this as my fake name when talking to strangers while traveling! ooh what a secret life! "pleased to meet you... i'm helen!" love it! i think i might just try that again on my errands this afternoon!

....................................

okay! so i've confessed!

there are my choices for top 3 names i'd choose for myself.
now... let's snuggle into our cozy sleeping bags, open another bag of sour cream & onion chips, crank up the *tiffany*, giggle & whisper and hear yours! can't wait!


ps: editor's note: i made the name frames up with some old photos *photoshopped* with new text. sorry - they are not items available anywhere for sale!
