Four Letter Word


I love the word

H O P E

If I have a daughter I'd like to call her that but feel I'd be putting the weight of the world on her shoulders. And being a giant with feet the size of a car will already be enough to contend with.

For some, it's an uplifting word but I find it melancholic.

  1. Noooo. wasn't 'hope' the last thing left in Pandora's Box? The fucking tangerine in Santa's stocking?
    Can you imagine how her teacher would feel at school when she, after being really attentive, hand-in-air, me me me, handed in really shoddy homework was consistently reminded that despite deserving a 'see me' felt obliged, on account of her nomiker to give her a gold star?
    actually, might be a good tactic.

    but later down the line, with men.....the whole kiss at the door, no sex on first date thing might not be so convincing if you're called 'hope'.
    Sod it, call her Pandora.

  4. Prime Minister. PMT iggy...Could be problematic, but if it came to it I'd use my default 'proper' name. You know, the name of a former Queen and era.
