[Opinions] Monthly Alphabet Soup List
I failed to post my monthly soup last month, and I apologize for the inconsistency. Many people on this site may be unfamiliar with me as a whole, but...I have been on this site for many years; I feel like you guys are family, in a way. So, with that, I'll explain why I haven't been up with my game- recently, life still hasn't been served on a silver platter. I was falling down a deep, dark, mental spiral amongst my personal life struggles. I wanted to isolate myself from everything and everyone, as I tried to get myself on course. However, I am merely 20 years old and have my entire life ahead of me; I am up again with confidence, having hopes and thrills of my future. So, you shouldn't be expecting long pauses of isolation anymore- I'm here to stay, until the editors delete me, y'all 😂. If you read all of that, I really appreciate you listening to me...you don't even know it, y'all 🫂.Anyway, without further ado, my February Alphabet Soup 💀- as always, feel free to respond with your own lists, and comment on my choices!Female:

Responding is a pleasure. And it's also good to know another William: my late and distant cousin was named William "because" his father was Robert. That was the pattern, for generations - Robert has a son William who has a son Robert ... ad infinitum, except my cuz and his wife never had children. He fought in the Royal Engineers throughout the Second World War, and nearly missed the last boat at Dunkirk. He and his mates were only 20 years old, and their highly responsible job was to go ahead of the army and check that bridges, railways, whatever were safe and in good working order, and to fix them if they weren't. Their informal motto was First In, Last Out because when the troops were in retreat they had to sabotage all the bridges, railways etc to slow the enemy down, and quite close to Dunkirk they just had to take a rest. And fell fast asleep, but luckily woke up just in time to run to the harbour. If I'd had a second son, one of his names would have been William.
Well I am sorry your life has not been well... mine has not either, so you are not alone! I have been at site for ≈ 1.5 year. I discovered message boards a few months ago (I am mostly here for name research part of site.)I am sorry I do not know how to play this game (? participate??) will you explain to me please? I can guess but I do not want to be wrong.
Thank you for your kind words; if you need a shoulder to lean on, feel free to PM me- I will listen, and try to help to my best ability! Anyway, participating is fairly simple: All you have to do is list your favorite names for each letter, from A-Z (male and female, and unisex if you have any). I personally limit myself to five names per letter, but you can do as many (or little) as you'd like to! Also, you can feel free to comment on the names from my own list, if any appeal to (or disgust, lol) you!
