Four lists of four, in honor of four!

My amazing husband and I celebrate four years of marriage today!
In honor of this specialish day, here are:

4 names beginning with the alphabet's 4th letter:
- Damon/Damien; I've always been partial to these, even though they're awfully close to demon.
- Doria; a girl from my elementary school had this name, and I think it's so Britishy and sweet.
- Dell; I like one syllable names, especially for boys. This is a nice less common one.
- Deidre; I don't adore it, but it sticks with you- something unique but not weird.

4 names connected to the traditional 4th anniversary gift of fruit or flowers:
- Flora/Fleur; they mean "flower," and they're wonderful; the first is sweet and the second's sophisticated.
- Plum; if I had to use a fruit name, it would probably be "Plum."
- Dahlia; my very favorite flower name
- Posy; just adorable, although she probably couldn't be a supreme court justice.

4 names connected to the modern 4th anniversary gift of appliances (hey, my husband got me an immersion blender for a gift- must be a coincidence because I'm sure he didn't know about the appliance thing!:
-  Luz; the lovely name/word for "light" in Spanish
- May; as in "Maytag," the appliance company.
This is a hard one!
- Miller; like a food mill
- Hoover; well, presidential names are in, so maybe this would be acceptable!

Finally, 4 names associated with the 4 places we have collectively lived since meeting:
- Elliott; from Elliott Bay in Seattle
- Penn; an obvious choice for Pennsylvania
- Eva; a controversial if apt Argentine name
- Juniper; a feisty Flagstaff moniker

  1. I really like Elliot. Doria is too close to Dora the Explorer. Have you ever read Wooster & Jeeves books? He has an aunt Dahlia who is fiesty and very intelligent.
