I darkened my family church's door for the first time in years yesterday, for my youngest cousin's christening. Miraculously, I did not, in fact, burst into flames crossing the threshold.

Despite leaving home two hours early, I managed to get distracted at a friend's house by a dusty pile of old Blake's 7 zines she'd unearthed while shifting.

his demonic brother Achilles (I swear he's secretly a Damian) did his best to set the church on fire during the service.

Hee! Breaker of men, sacker of cities...if you name these children after certain individuals, you have to expect them to live up to their names!

My nephew, of course, being an Alexander, *brags*, is clearly the best and smartest almost-two-year-old alive. Not that he's named after anyone, because I would be shocked if his mother has more than the vaguest idea of who Alexander was, but I call him Alexander Magnus anyway.

Of course you do. Though now that you've swiched to Greek it should really be O Megas! :-D

*can't wait to hear as the wee'un battles his way to greatness*

Yes, but I am deliberately mixing Greek and Latin. Kind of like Victoria Athena. Besides, Magnus is a bona fide personal name that I happen to like better than his given middle name.

Well bring it on, then! It's exactly like Victoria Athena. :-D And you have a good memory!
