Jots and Tittles

No, this is not an announcement. Just something I wanted to mention in my blogging.

When I was in the 8th grade, we studied Shakespeare. We read many of this plays and sonnets. For some time after this I had this obsession with the name OTHELLO . I thought it would be such a great little girls name. I even found an old journal from my high school creative writing class where I mentioned my love for the names OTHELLO, and GLORY for my future daughters.

Here I am 13 years later, no daughters, standing in the park when I hear a woman calling to her little girl "Come on Othello". Did I just hear that right? About a week goes by and I see this same woman at the park again ( come to find out they live in my neighborhood). She is calling for this little girl with golden skin, dark hair, dark eyes. I ask the woman "Is her name Othello?". She replies "Yes, Othello Luna".... My jaw dropped.

Ok, I know no one will agree with me, but that is the coolest name ever.- She is destined to be something cool...I know, I know...stop dreaming about baby girls. Its not in the cards for me. But, I still have dreams right? Too bad Mikey doesnt like the name Othello.
I am still keeping Glory, in my top three favorite girls names. Even if girls are not in my future.
