My mom is a preschool teacher. She didn't have many aversions to girl names (lucky since she has two daughters) but she's said many times that she would have had a very hard time if she had a sonOriginally Posted by kelownagirl
Sad thing is, I'm a teacher and I have negative connections to a number of names.Makes it's hard to name your kid too.
Ooh! 47cm!! MY SIZE!!!

My new bike stayed in the livingroom for about a month when I got her. I think a little living room time is vital for proper socialization of the new family member.
I like Maddie. I have a niece named Madison and she goes by Maddie. She's a very good girl and accels at most everything. So to me Maddie is a very positive name.
My new bike is Fiona. She just told me one day after I'd had her about a month.

You should have seen yesterday after our first ride. I got caught in a downpour and she got all muddy. Had to clean her up already!

Princess Fiona does not like to go out in the rain. But she's had to endure it a few times. It's funny how much more prompt you are about cleaning duties with the brand new bike. Strange really.

I totally understand! My three darlings are named quite eccentrically. Originally Posted by kelownagirl

Little Wing
Portia
Bif
Luckily, I've never met any kids with these names!! (I know of 2 famous adults, but I've only gotten an autograph from one of them....)
Happy butterflies to you and your Miss Divine (or whatever you decide to name her). Enjoy!

Pledge wipes come in very handy for keeping the bike looking spiffy after a ride
I've also heard they have other uses inside the home (dusting?) but I'm not sure

I had a PR coming up the ugly hill today (just a smidge over 1/2 mile, at 10%). My previous best time was 3:30 and that was only once. My usual time is 3:45. Today, on my new bike, AFTER a 2000m swim and a 45km bike ride, I went up that hill in 3:20. Wahoooo!!
