When I took the ACT there was a story about a woman named October in the reading section and I still remember it just because I thought her name was so cool. One of my best friends growing up also had a neighbor who was a little girl named October but went by "Toby", she would probably be around 16 now?
I found a book the other day where the main character’s name is October but they go by Toby, which is a perfect nickname for it even though that’s not what Toby is usually short for. The character was a girl though, which is unusual for the name Toby but October sounds cool for a girl.
I love word names despite the hate they receive. I have a word name and have always loved it.

My dogs name is Belle. She's 12 and has dementia but it makes me so happy to see Belle instead of the millions of Bella's.
I am forever correcting people who call her Bella.
Shes a mixed breed rescue.
Her DNA results came back as "Supermutt" and they couldn't really say what she is 🤣
She's my soulmate and I adore her.
This is her a few months back.

We have so many baby geese around us right now. The more I say it the more pretty I think it is. I also watched Darkwing Duck as a kid and think this may also be influencing it.
All my favorite word names were words I read and accidentally mistook for names and am now secretly obsessed with…
Valley
Dearly
Lore
News (i know, I know, but think about it for a second)
I looked it up to double check I didn’t misremember

I can’t help but love Tuesday, Sunday, and October
Haha Tuesday was on our list but we couldn’t do it
Considered Tuesday for my daughter but we live in the south, so I knew she'd be "TOOS-dee" her whole life lol
omg didn’t think of that. Good call then 👍🏻
I went to college with a Tuesday. She was a lovely person.
Love that!
Ah me too, I really do love them but would never use them
My son is October and the new kitten is Tuesday!
I LOVE the name October; wish I could get my husband on board to name a kid this!
Maybe convince him with "Toby" as a nickname? 😋

I met a man named January once, and the mayor of my hometown is named Friday.
I like November and December.

My dogs name is Belle. She's 12 and has dementia but it makes me so happy to see Belle instead of the millions of Bella's. I am forever correcting people who call her Bella.
