[Facts] Yeardley
I've noticed at the end of The Simpsons Movie that Lisa Simpson is voiced by Yeardley Smith and I saw that Yeardley is not on the Y section on this site. What does it mean? On another note, how does the thing that Lisa Simpson wears manage to stay on her if it has no buttons or straps?

I always wondered about that, too. About the name, I mean. There are plenty of dresses that don't have buttons or straps they stay on because they're tight.

It's probably a variant of the surname Yardley: http://www.ancestry.com/facts/yardley-civil-war.ashx

Here's the meaning I found. Enclosed grassland; kindling forest. I like this name a lot. I see it a lot in the boy's section, although I've only ever known females with the name.
