Help[Opinions] Valaida?
Cambria turned me onto this name when I asked for middle names for Marie. I'm really liking it, in honour of Valaida Snow, a hot jazz musician (http://www.jazzhot.bigstep.com/generic13.html). She was an extremely strong woman, from what I've read, and she played very well, from what I've heard. :)
(As a side note, I'm disappointed that I didn't learn about this woman in my jazz class. She was huge in her time, survived a Nazi prison camp and managed to continue making a living playing trumpet. Amazing, I tell you. I tend to love the female jazz players even more, because they often had to work so much harder than their male counterparts. :D)
So, Valaida. What do you think? Besides the namesake, it appeals to me on the same level that Ardelia does--it feels very folksy and down to earth to me. If it doesn't do anything for you, do tell me--since it's so unusual, I'd like a good range of opinions. :)

...And then he said, "You're independent, aren't you?"
"Yes," said Laura.
A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.
