All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

And we are talking about naming our son after a relative... just not in a sense that you find conventional.
Sounds to me that you think everyone should just be vanilla and blend in.
Perhaps a trusted friend, then.
Again, avoiding the question as to whether you'd like this name for yourself? If you wouldn't like the name yourself, why would you give it to your kid?
We need Thurm on this thread. He is always brutally honest. If he likes the names I may have to rethink my stance.

I would have no problems with the name myself. I always felt my name was kind of boring.
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
I would have no problems with the name myself. I always felt my name was kind of boring.
"Why couldn't mom and dad have given me a BORING name?"
Well I don't know what the dynamic was in terms of coming up with this, but in our house either of us could propose whatever names we wanted but the hard and fast rule was that we both had veto power.
This is not the sort of thing to give in on if you're not crazy about the name.
It's very difficult to undo if you end up having regrets.
I'm having "pre-grets" on your behalf.
Thurm! You're needed over here. LOG too.

Let me tell you a story about names back from my high school days. We were in social studies class, and we had this one teacher who was single, in her mid-twenties, one of my better teachers actually, and she had great clothes etc. Well toward the end of the class on some days she would tell us about her weekend because she had this boyfriend, and they always did cool things. So we heard these stories for a couple of months and enjoyed them because A) that meant we were done with schoolwork for that period, and B) she had a cool life that we would someday hope to have ourselves.
But, she never told us her boyfriend's name, just referred to him as her boyfriend. Well some of the girls in the class (this is an all-girl H.S.) started asking, what's his name, tell us his name. But she wouldn't.
Well finally after a couple weeks of pestering she gave in. She said okay, I'll tell you his name, his name is (DRAMATIC PAUSE) "Leo."
Well! The classroom exploded in laughter that was so loud that I can hear it in my head 'til this day. It was just uncontrolled! You could see that our teacher was terribly embarrassed at this reaction. She was crabby about it, you could tell.
Well some time after that, she is telling us another story about her boyfriend, but this time she says his middle name is (ahem) MICHAEL, and he actually prefers to go by his middle name of Michael. And ever thereafter in that class she referred to the boyfriend as "Michael."
And I thought to myself, sheesh, she should've used Michael all along and saved herself all the embarrassment.
Moral of the story: Julien/Jude = Leo
Don't put his future girlfriends in an awkward position like that one.
