Stella's Tag!

Hey! This fun tag will be posted on both my American Girl blog and Name Princess blog just for fun! Anyways, this tag was created by Stella, in order to celebrate her birthday!




1. If you could be born on any day of the year, what day would it be?
Probably a day in November, October, or April, but I love December as well!


2. What do you want your wedding dress to look like?
I guess a Greek Style Dress thats very flowy and light- nothing giant that makes me look like a marshmallow.


3. (confessions time) Tell an odd thing about yourself that nobody knows.
Hmm... I love History Channel shows! I will gladly watch America: The Story of Us any day- for fun! :-)


4. If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
I think I would make my hair a couple inches longer and wavier, and my eyes brighter.


5. Random time… tell us anything.
I am watching Castle right now- it's one of my favorite crime shows (along with Monk). It's funny and mysterious with being gory.


6. Mac or PC?
Mac- best ever.


7. What's your favorite song right now?
Rolling in the Deep or Set Fire to the Rain by Adele.


8. Do you get very tan during the summer? Doing what?
Nope, never tan. We Scandinavians have pale skin- so the more tan I get an 1/8 of shade darker- and the sunburned.


9. How long do you consider too long for hair to be?
Waist length.


10. Big earrings or small?
I think big earrings are adorable- but I can't handle them if they are too heavy.


11. Do you like lowercase?
Yes, occasionally.


12. Is there anyone famous that you (or any part of you) looks like?
Nope, although Stana Katic (Beckett on Castle) has my eyes. :-)


13. What is the weirdest thing you've ever photographed?
My anklet, my sister's eye, and an oddly shaped bun.


14. What is something you say more than five times a day?
Hmm.... maybe 'like' or 'well'.


15. Which do you think is better or worse: Facebook or twitter?
I don't really care, I don't use either.


16. (time for a super-typical question) What's your favorite food?
Pumpkin-spice cheesecake, strawberry pie, pasta, dinner rolls, potato soup..... The list goes on!


17. Do you like... Antique Stores or Thrift Stores?
I don't go to either. Shame on me. :-P


18. What is something you've always longed to do or try, but never did?
Bungee jumping, except I've never gotten the chance.


19. Do you love or loathe peace signs? Why?
Love them- they are so cute!


20. What's a guilty pleasure of yours?
Eating strawberry cream chess straight out of the container- and watching Castle. :-)


Happy Birthday, Stella and thanks for this fun tag!

Shakespearean Names (for boys!)

Hey! I am sorry for not posting as recently as I used too, but I will try and get back on track. Anyways, let's continue with Shakespearean name for boys!

Jacques- This is a name from As You Like It. It's a gorgeous French name meaning 'supplanter'! This name was most part in the 1970s and has dropped just as quickly as it had risen.

Edmund- Although this name is better known for a character in The Chronicles of Narnia, it's also a character in King Lear. It's a classic English name meaning 'rich protector'. It was very popular in the early 20th century, but dropped very slowly.

Lancelot- You may think of this name as a knight in an Arthurian legend, but it's also a name featured in Merchant of Venice. It's an awesome French name which means.... wait for it.... 'land'. Didn't see that coming did you?

Dion- This name was most popular in the 1970s, and then made a sharp drop in 2005. Anyways, this name means 'God of Wine and Revelry'. Dion is probably a shortened version of Dionysus, Greek god of wine. It's also a character in Winter's Tale.


I hope you enjoyed this post!
