[Opinions] Re: Local BAs.
Yes! Looking at BAs is a lot of fun. We need more BA posts around here. We'll call it research.Magdalen pronounced maud-len is a GP of mine, which much be pretty much identical to your Maudlin. I'm not sure which spelling here I like better, actually. They're both so pretty.I have no idea what Boden is. I'm curious about it too.

I'd be thrilled about more BAs. It's just so interesting to see what parents come up with. I'm one of those obsessive list-makers, and I've been keeping documents since 2005, one for each year, of names I find interesting in some way, whether good or bad. They get longer and longer each year! This is just for my own amusement... please don't look at me like that ;)

Tell me about it! I do that same thing. Some of the best combos I've ever come across were in BAs (as well as the worst). Before my old computer crashed I must have had thousands of combos collected that I kept around just because. They're great inspiration.

Oooh, careful what you wish for! I might just go and post some of my (more or less) local BAs ;-)
I love Magdalen pronounced maud-lin. I just always wonder how usable this pronunciation would be in real life :/
By the way, "Boden" is the German word for floor, soil. So Boden Dexter looks almost like some technical term or some job title to me ;-)

Please do so! (you know, if you want) We should have a Message Board just for BAs. That would be cool.Yeah, I wonder that too. It would mean constant correcting. I don't think most people would get it. Middle name, maybe?Ohhh. I wonder if those people knew that. If so, how odd.

Ah, thanks!So Boden is quite the earthy name then, literally. Interesting.

Aha I shall go post my findings now!There's a road we drive by when we travel south called Maudlin, which led me to think it would be a pretty name, which led me to discover it's a depressing word. But I think that makes it interesting.

Ah! Yeah, if my brain were any good with words I might have noticed that. It does make it interesting as well as unusable for a real life child. If only I played Sims. Or a cat! Maudlin would work really well on a cat. Two cats, one named Maudlin and the other Winsome. Does that sound like the basis for a children's story or what?
