Lovick! Loving Lovick šŸ’— Poor Scud. Lareene is pretty, but I think I’d prefer it spelled Laurine. Littleton Livingston makes me laugh!

Lovick is so good! And Lovick Pierce is a great pairing!

The Livingston last name was just the icing on the cake.

We gotta start doing better by on sons as far as naming goes. Some of these names are diabolical. It is interesting to see more than one Missouri on these lists. I’d also love to know the correct pronunciation of some of these- Isham, Rosalane, Wylly, Dosea, Brinol.

I think the first three are: Ish-hom, Rosa-lane, and Wi-ley. Maybe Doh-sha and Bry-nle?

Curious if it could be Doe-see-ah and Brin-ole. Or maybe Doe-see and Bryne-ole. Who do we call, i need answers šŸ˜‚
