Thank you, India… and Other Favorite Names

I bet you didn’t think this post would be about Alanis Morissette, did you? Well, you’re in the ball park of being right. I heard her on the radio and totally forgot about the song “Thank U.” She wrote it after a memorable trip to India, so that’s why the chorus repeats “Thank you, India.” As for why she’s naked in the music video, I have no idea. I’m sure it’s something about being vulnerable or government oppression. Hearing the song reminded me how much I like her voice, and I’m not the only one. Just 2 days ago Prakriti Mudra made the Youtube comment, “She’s one of the most amazing singers I have come across.” Thank you, Prakriti. You might have the newest entry on the list of names I really like… which is as follows:

Alanis
Nicollete
Holden (Yes, it’s the name of every mom’s favorite man from “Young and the Restless”)
Downs (as a middle name)
Kelty
Hali (pronounced ‘Holly’)
Everlyn (as heard in the movie Rabbit-Proof Fence)
Asia
Piper
Amy (an all-time favorite)
Jennifer (an all-time favorite)
