Geneology.

Lately, I have been collecting names.
Family names especially fascinate me because of their rich history and sense of significance (or sometimes, lack of). I've been toying with the idea of making a blog about my families and their names. D adds an extra facet, because as opposed to our perpetually transient nature, his family has stayed in the same place for generations. So they have lush southern names (with a capital s), that roll off the tongue in a completely different way.
Top five favorites (if I had to pick):
1)Leopold
2)Mae
3)Washington
4)Ivie
5)Emmett
