Arcadia! Thomasina! Tom Stoppard! *head explodes* (m)

I adore the name Thomasina because of that play. I love, love that play (and everything the man has ever written) and the character is amazing. Cordelia is just beautiful. The whole combination is excellent. I really, truly love it. They're wonderfully matched in style, though Cordelia is of course more usable. Tippins fits the style but sounds very different, so the name doesn't sound as repetitive and odd as Cordelia Thomasina would. I love the honouring. It's so, so, so beautiful.

If I was your husband, I wouldn't fight you on these names at all. I promise you, that's not exageration. I love all your top combinations.

Sorry for the excess gushing...

I am going to send you a very long PM

about Arcadia.
It is a lot longer now than I thought it was going to be and it might take you a very long time to read it. Feel free to disregard it.

Didn't get a PM from you...

Did you decide not to send it after all, or is my inbox being strange?

I'd like to read it, though it might take me a while.

I haven't sent it yet

I was not kidding when I said it was long. I am about halfway done with it now, LOL. It has evolved into kind of an epic chronicle of... my boring life. You may be totally uninterested! Anticipate it sometime tonight or tomorrow.
