Irving. That is an interesting name.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Kinda old fashioned...

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Old-fashioned is nice.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

I guess.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

But it is. Old-fashioned names are getting more popular.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Some are, I guess.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

There are not many Irvings?

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

No...not that I've met.

I've heard it more often as a last name, actually.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Honto? You have first names that are last names?

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Yeah. There was a famous writer named Washington Irving. He wrote 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.'

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Oh, I always assumed the textbooks wrote the name in Japanese style. That his name was Irving Washington.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Nope, it's actually the other way around.

But yeah...'Washington' is usually a last name.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Who would name their child after a city?

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Actually, I think read somewhere he was named after George Washington.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Would they have not named him George Washington Irving?

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

I dunno why they didn't name him that.

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Names can be strange. Unless you have a name like Kennichi.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

What do you mean?

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

Well, your father's name is Ken and your name is Kennichi. Something like Jr. in America. You are named after your father.

[nerdherdchuck.livejournal.com]

Oh, I get it now. *smiles*

[powered-otaku.livejournal.com]

It is easier that way. Not as interesting, though.
