If they pronounced it Stin-gin, they were mispronouncing it. It's Sin-jin.

Also, are you sure it wasn't Phyllida?

I remember having too much "sin gin." It wasn't pretty.

Huh? someone who loves english kid lit. Not what I think of as pretentious esp since both characters are of modest background.

Yes, I'm tickled by the idea that it's pretentious to name a child after a small bear in a duffel coat, named after a London train station, who regularly covers himself with jam.

I don't think paddington is pretentious, but I do think its a bit silly. Go bigger -- Heathrow or Schipol.

OMG Heathrow would be the BEST! Please please let's start a trend of international airport babynames. That would be a new front in tweeness/pretentiousness.

I can see an O'Hare, a Heathrow, Hartsfield, and .... wait for it ... IDLEWILD. I will pay $1000 to anyone who names their child Idlewild. It is just so PERFECT.

Idle-wild = kid guaranteed to have ADHD

Livingston?

I assume that's a boy.

Also the pp who mentioned Carrington.

Both of those names end in "-ton" which means town.

What are the nicknames for this? Liv? Carr?

I totally know a female Livingston. Goes by Livie. She's 7.

I wanted this as our boy middle name. I'm a Trekkie. . We had three girls (and one has a name of a minor character from one of the movies).

I like you.
