Wow.
William Beowulf is a gutsy combo. Impressive. Good for her. And good for both of you for becoming friends again.
Lydia is a lovely name. I'm glad you feel free to love it again. You have until tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. PST to object or I am using it in one of my polls. :-)
When I was younger personal associations were difficult to get past. But now, probably because I work on it more, I have an easier time separating the two. For example, I remember making a mental note not to let my love for the name
Imelda be influenced by Ms
Marcos and her shoes in the 1980s. It worked. So maybe in the future if you set your mind to keeping your love for a favorite name in tact when trouble brews you'll have an easier time as well.
