[Bananafish] speaking up and naming babies

[Amber B. Raley]

Howdy Polly, Cecilia et al.,

It was the same for me.  I think it was many many months before I posted to the
list and I think that was only after I received encouragement from Tim after a
note I sent to him off-list.  So welcome to the list Polly.

On the topic of naming babies.  One of my professors here just had a little
girl.  She was asking for suggestions for names at her shower and I propsed
Frances (Franny).  It seems there was also some family history with the name
and the little girl is named Cecilia Frances.  I thought it was a brilliant
combination!

Swimmingly,

Amber
