It's a new week & the beginning of a new month, friends!
Can you believe it's JUNE??
I know I say it often, but the days & years REALLY fly by for me. HEH. And I dunno about you, but with all this virus junk, it basically feels like the first half of this year was wasted unnecessarily. Anyone else feel the same? *raises hand*

But we ain't here to discuss politics (NOT my strong suit), so I'll share a fresh batch of names instead!
Enjoy. :]

Talk to me!
What do you think of this lovely set?? I rather like them all---I can't just choose one! I could see Mojave being nicknamed as "Momo" or "Havi"---it's so unique. :] And Delano could be called "Del".
Haha, but this isn't a Nickname post, Sarah... You're right, you're right! But for some reason, I always have a nickname handy for any nonexistent characters---especially when I'm thinking which photos to use for these posts & what their friends might call them. *chuckles nervously* #weird
But I ramble...
Anyway, I hope it's a lovely week for you! Happy June!
I love these name posts, but recently I haven't been able to view the pictures along with the names. The formatting of the sentences also looks a bit off. I always enjoy the pictures you use!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!! GAHHHH. Blogger recently updated their whole system & for some reason, the photos won't show unless I download/upload every single one to & from my computer... Usually I just copy the URL (soooo much easier). I'll try to fix this! Thanks for letting me know! And so pleased you enjoy these posts!!
DeleteSuch fun names! I've always liked the name Declan. And oooh, Arimathea, Delano, AND Mojave would be such fun character names, are variations of those names. I personally LOVE how you always come up with nicknames. It's so fun! :D
ReplyDeleteBy the way, in your past couple of name posts (and maybe a couple of other posts) the pictures haven't been showing up. D: I can't see any of the lovely people pictures you chose. I don't know if it's my end or blogger is having problems or what, but I wanted to let you know!
Thanks, girlie! Yes, it's so unique. And I agree! I kinda like Mojave the most, for some reason. Awww, so glad to hear! It's certainly fun on my part. :]
DeleteGAHHHHH!! NOOOOooooo! Blogger recently updated their system, and while I like the new look, it's taken a little while to relearn it... and they're still working out some bugs---GRRR. Usually, I just copy the image URL, but the only way I can get the images to stay is if I go the extra mile & download /upload to/from my computer. Hopefully, they can fix this issue!! Thanks so much for letting me know! I greatly appreciate it!
