i think it has to be because of the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe. it's certainly not because of peanuts ;-) .

Matt or Matthew, because I've never known one I didn't like and respect.

I have no idea. That's the kind of detail that would fly out of my brain the second I noticed it. (I was going to say "unless I blogged it or something", but I've blogged a zillion things that I've promptly forgotten.)

Yeah, that was mine too. I didn't realize the question was about names, not the people they were attached to.

well, I conflate the questions. but I've thought about Name-names and their significance, as have most or many people, I guess, my whole life, and what pops out is...

Mary

I realize that Lisa is Jewish and might not have the resonance that a Christian might, and in fact I'm not Catholic, so it's kind of strange, but the name just sits so nicely with me, so comfortably, so well with history, there's something about it from my reading and I was raised Christian at least and I did travel Europe and see the great art so I even saw the pieta before it was hit at the Vatican, etc etc and Mary had a little lamb so it echoes as kind of basic.

having dated at least four women named mary, either i have a good reaction to it too, or at this point it should make me run screaming ;-) .

Pretty much any of my partners' names, for obvious reasons.
