Baby Names - the birth of Sparkie
Ever since little Poodle figured out that she was going to be a big sister again, we have been asking her what names she likes for the little one. All along, without wavering, she would say Tim for a boy. I remember the first time she said that, Jmk and I looked at each other with a "huh. That's actually not bad". And, because I was so sure that the baby was a boy, I actually had Tim near the top of the mental list.
However, the girls' names weren't nearly so sure in her mind. The first name she came up with was Willa. The next name was Sparkles. Yes. You read right. The next name was Isabella. (That one actually went on the real list.) And, the name which is currently her fave is Lily.
Now, you have to admit that Sparkles is pretty rockin'. Kat reminded me about Tina Sparkles from the movie Strictly Ballroom.... heh - you gotta love the name Sparkles. Sparkles has already degenerated into Sparkie around the Zoo. I suspect this nickname is likely to stick. At any rate, as Poodle continues to add to the Nom de Poodle collection, we'll keep you posted. Somewhere in there just may be Sparkie's real name!

Well, you know, my kids call my mom Key, short for Sparky...her name James graced her with during her chemo rounds...Sparky, 'cause she'd lost all her spark :) Fortunately, she got it back and now has a groovy grandmother name that no one else (or hardly anyone) has! Sparkie for a baby girl...hmmm...I'm gonna let Poodle down real easy like and tell her "perhaps not, sweetheart. perhaps not. people might think baby sister is a dog. or a lady going through chemo."
Lily is a favorite at our house. The girls sometimes use it as their own when at play. I lengthened it to Lily of the Valley. It has a nice ring to it, don't you think?
